3. Status of ICOM presentation to Ontolog virtual  panel session

 

Eric suggested Ontolog forum archives are in mbox format. There are various tools to parse mbox. The prototype we use for Ontolog demo can be leveraged for task #6 in the milestones.

 

6

Translate Ontolog data into ICOM OO and ICOM RDF

Peter Yim (for Ontolog content), Eric (for OO), DERI (for RDF)

July 28 (for plan), completion date TBD

 

Laura explained Nepomuk tool (akonadi feeder) can parse the mbox files, generate nmo, nco and save in the nepomuk rdf store. We can use then Konduit to transform from 1 ontology to another - requires construct sparql queries.

 

Peter recommended to preserve the URL of the forum html archives with the RDF representation of message instances for task 6 and 7.

 

Eric mentioned the mbox archives and email channels for Ontolog forum threads are mostly historical happenstance. Ontolog forum message archives should be normalized into ICOM forum, topic, discussion messages.

 

Deirdre and Laura suggested the concept of MailingList, which can be hybrid of Forum and email folder.

 

Peter commented that, eventually, when we really have to come down to building the ontology for “collaboration”, we need to make reference to the speech act intents of the artifacts rather than the “historical” implementation of the artifacts.

 

Patrick suggested mappings to normalize model that still can access the content the way the existing implementation needs. The model should serve for round trip mappings.

 

4. AOB

 

Deirdre proposed an agenda item to discuss W3C submission for “Enterprise 2.0 Social Semantic Web”, which is being prepared by DERI and Cisco. It involves SIOC, user, message, group, rating, relationship, hierarchy of organizations. There are overlaps with ICOM. Alexandre Passant sees that the two are complementary model (SIOC is social aspects), and (ICOM is engineering aspects).

 

The TC Meeting was adjourned.
