Subject: RE: [regrep] Interest in Ontology Process Control Subcommittee
Joe, There is a lot of collateral technology required to support ontologies. Some of these technologies are in their infant 1.0 stage and others are proprietary. All are specific to the ontology community not the registry community. I think that the standards should address how to open up the registry in a logic system neutral manner without concentrating on how the ontology developers will use it. I think that there should be the potential for a clear separation of effort between registry developers and ontology developers. Developers should not have to know both disciplines. Anecdote: I spent sometime talking with the Netscape LDAP directory developers back in 1999 and I asked them how their directories were being used. They said that they couldn't tell me definitively. They said that LDAP developers kept coming up with new ways to use their directories. I see the Ontology Process Control Subcommittee as a means of facilitating the same kind of creativity.
