Next Steps

["Carl Mattocks" <carlmattocks@checkmi.com>]

Greetings:

I am happy to report that we discussed the following items at our informal
semantic soiree @ Washington DC.

ROI - it was agreed that we should craft a simplistic business case for
storing semantic content in  a Registry & Repository

OWL - it was agreed the work on storing OWL in the Registry & Repository
presented by Dr Asuman Dogac and fellow researchers could form the basis
of Technical Note that should be published by March 2005.

RDF - it was agreed that the (SPARQL) work of the WC3 DAWG group could
define how 'RDF Queries' are supported by the Registry & Repository .

Semantic Reasoning - it was agreed that for the short term (to set
priorities) the Registry & Repository should enable 'semantic reasoning'
via 'cooperation/federation' with an external inference engine.

Ontology Publishing - it was agreed that the Registry & Repository  would 
provide the greatest value to the Ontology Development Community by
providing then with an external 'Ontology Publishing' ability that would
allow their structures to be associated with many different types of
artifacts.

Note :
To help us understand the requirements for an external 'Ontology
Publishing' ability - the developers of Protoge have offered to
participate in our next conference call (December 14th ?)


cheers

Carl
