SMS_KR Developers Meeting Notes May 2005

Difference between version 16 and version 15:

At line 58 added 1 line.
+ !! Ontologies (May 4th, 2005)
At line 59 added 20 lines.
+ * Mark had nice slides (ref should go here) going over:
+ ** Gene Ontology
+ ** Sem. web. comm. references (CO-ODE group); common errors, practical difficulties, rules of thumb.
+ ** terminological overload: stick to class/property/individual/restriction
+ *** restrictions:
+ **** primitive/complete; partial/defined; necessary/necessary and sufficient
+ **** existential (some) vs universal (only) quantifiers
+ **** disjointness/overlap; exlusive vs. exhaustive
+ **** negation not thru absence, but contradiction ("all" quantifier is trivially satisfied if "no value" for propert in question
+ **** natural language "paraphrasing" to assist
+ ** Rich's ontologies in terms of protege, and growl
+ ** kr's current direction: keep ontologies simple, intuitive with clear goals
+ *** implement deana's biodiv and productivity concept maps in OWL
+ *** test capability of Units.OWL to do simple units conversion (X g -> .00X kg) in Kepler
+ *** develop simple actor intology for parameterizing garp and {gam/nn?}
+ *** simple data integration use cases (measurement, experimental design)
+ *** kr postdoc successor for rich williams
+ ** ferdinando: keep it simple, but not simpler
+ *** put "google" into GrOWL, so one can search annotation properties, concept names, etc.,
+ ** shawn/matt: need a CAD summarization view for users, and for giving default "views" to help summarize, simplify ontologies
At line 60 added 1 line.
