Re: [regrep-semantic] Does Taxonomy = Semantic Content Management???

["David RR Webber" <david@drrw.info>]

Zachary,

 

When I get time - (Ha!) - I am planning to take VisualScript,

create some OWL models and then link the output to

Registry to insert models and OWL into same.  This

would be an interesting learning exercise for anyone

to try - as its not tough to create the symbols and XML.

 

Some experimenting along these lines - to see what is

possible in an eBusiness context - is where my thinking

says there is some possible value.

 

One has to seriously ask though - of potential customers

for registry - how many are desperately seeking OWL as

a first priority?  Seems to me this is largely a research

thing at the moment - until someone shows some very

significant business ROI...

Subject: [regrep-semantic] Does Taxonomy = Semantic Content Management???

<David RR Webber>Now here's the other bit of good news - the ebXML Registry with its classification system and RIM already has a giant chunk of what we need to get a Version 1.0 system up and functioning.  I think that should also be our mantra here too - look for lowhanging fruit - that will enable significant progress, and worry about the really clever tough stuff after we've got some solid metrics to base our understanding on.</David RR Webber>

The ebXML Registry already supports taxonomies.  Support for taxonomies equate too roughly to OWL Lite.  Does taxonomy support (i.e., roughly OWL Lite) constitute Semantic Content Management Support? Does that set the bar high enough to entice members of the Semantic Web Community to choose the ebXML Registry over some other “knowledge repository” that supports OWL DL or OWL Full?  

 

Note: OWL Lite, OWL DL and OWL Full are just examples that show higher levels of semantic/knowledge expressivity.
