- 18:33:05 [Ralph]
- Libby: I support the idea of showing code fragments
- 18:33:46 [Ralph]
- Guus: would FOAF fit here?
- 18:33:50 [Ralph]
- Libby: yes, possibly
- 18:34:08 [bwm_]
- pat makes a good point
- 18:34:15 [Ralph]
- Pat: the analogy with code is misleading; code does what it does, whereas ontologies do more
- 18:34:24 [jjc]
- The Semantic Web should not be used for nuclear power stations ???
- 18:34:40 [danbri]
- q+ to give an example (rss code snippet) http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/bwm/rdf/jena/rssinjena.htm was very handy
- 18:35:14 [Ralph]
- Brian: important to have other task forces should sign up to provide illustrations

- 18:41:11 [Ralph]
- Guus: first note is intended to be more business cases
- 18:41:23 [Ralph]
- ... second note is intended to help those who are confused in where to start
- 18:42:28 [Ralph]
- Pat: I expect to be involved in this task force
- 18:43:10 [Ralph]
- ... I worry that the first note might have too much "drum beating" and not enough "practice"; that it might turn into an advertisement
- 18:43:22 [Ralph]
- Guus: expect the document to be short; a maximum of 5 pages
- 18:44:09 [Ralph]
- Mike: read Jim's summary, looks OK to me

- 18:45:19 [Ralph]
- Pat: might be good to have more representation from others in the WG who have different views
- 18:45:38 [Ralph]
- Jeremy: document 2 needs participation from the DL community
- 18:46:21 [Ralph]
- Mike: I think I can represent the business perspective
- 18:46:32 [Ralph]
- Deb: I consult with some startup companies and can represent the startup perspective

- 18:52:08 [Ralph]
- Guus: see Aldo's recent msg http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2004Apr/0017.html
- 18:52:23 [Ralph]
- ... Aldo presents an important option
- 18:52:42 [Ralph]
- ... 2 choices of representation
- 18:53:07 [Ralph]
- ... (1) take the principal representation as-is and create an RDF Schema for it, without adding features
- 18:53:35 [Ralph]
- ... (2) do a translation and introduce some RDF constructs
- 18:53:45 [aldoG]
- Above all, (1) does not try to "interpret" the original Wordnet schema in terms of ontologies
- 18:53:45 [Ralph]
- DanBri: my translation only took the nouns
- 18:54:09 [Ralph]
- ... this allows markup that looks nice
- 18:54:25 [jjc]
- Zakim, mute jjc
- 18:54:25 [Zakim]
- jjc should now be muted
- 18:54:34 [aldoG]
- (2) tries a mapping from the original schema to ontology data types (classes, individuals, properties, subClass, etc.)
- 18:54:52 [Ralph]
- Guus: my personal opinion is that in principal if there is a representation we should translate it as literally as possible and leave interpretation to the user
- 18:54:57 [bwm_]
- +1 to guus
- 18:55:06 [Ralph]
- Pat: this issue is broader than just WordNet
- 18:55:22 [aldoG]
- I agree with Pat: it applies also to thesauri
- 18:55:23 [danbri]
- q+ to mention language in the new draft [THES] tf
- 18:55:37 [bwm_]
- q-
- 18:55:49 [Ralph]
- Pat: agree with a translation that takes everything as an individual and makes the fewest assumptions
- 18:56:19 [libby]
- q+
- 18:56:32 [Zakim]
- danbri, you wanted to mention language in the new draft [THES] tf
- 18:56:39 [aldoG]
- the problem with (1) is that we actually renounce to derive useful ontologies from wordnets and thesauri, which is the current trend of research in both academic and industrial/organization contexts
- 18:57:08 [Ralph]
- Libby: we followed the simple approach in calendaring
- 18:58:10 [Ralph]
- Ralph: agree with starting simple
- 18:58:20 [Ralph]
- ... can we get participation from Princeton?
- 18:58:23 [aldoG]
- (2) is not necessarily "complex". For instance, Dan Brickley has ported (a part of) WordNet using (2)
- 18:58:39 [jjc]
- Zakim, unmute jjc
- 18:58:39 [Zakim]
- jjc should no longer be muted
- 18:58:41 [Ralph]
- ACTION: Guus ask Aldo if someone from Princeton is willing to participate
- 18:58:43 [danbri]
- From http://www.w3.org/2004/03/thes-tf/mission (just drafted), "Document strategies for representing Thesaurus-like content using RDF/OWL --- Produce guidelines for transforming an existing thesaurus (or classification system, or similar concept-based taxonomy) into an RDF/OWL representation. Guidelines should describe strategies for converting into an RDF representation of thesaurus-like structures, as well as strategies for re-describing in RDF/OWL the conten
- 18:58:43 [danbri]
- t originally conveyed in the Thesaurus."
- 18:58:55 [danbri]
- q?
- 18:58:57 [Ralph]
- Pat: others have done major work on aligning Cyc with WordNet too
- 18:59:16 [aldoG]
- Christiane Fellbaum is interested in following the work, but she cannot ensure a lot of attention
- 18:59:28 [Ralph]
- [Jeremy reads Aldo's irc comment to the telecon]
- 18:59:53 [Ralph]
- Guus: I don't agree with Aldo's "the problem with (1)..." -- these can be added later
- 19:00:07 [aldoG]
- CYC2WN, as well as Sensus, SUMO2WN and DOLCE2WN (OntoWordNet), follow approach (2)
- 19:00:18 [Ralph]
- Pat: re Aldo's (2), there are tradeoffs
- 19:00:58 [aldoG]
- In fact in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2004Apr/0017.html I propose to deliver (1), which is almost ready, and then move to (2)
- 19:01:18 [Ralph]
- Jeremy: it is plausible to do this in two phases
- 19:01:45 [aditya]
- aditya has joined #swbp
- 19:02:05 [Ralph]
- Guus: re Christiane Fellbaum; if she could nod agreement that would be nice
- 19:02:26 [Tbaker]
- Tbaker has joined #swbp
- 19:02:30 [Ralph]
- ... and even make the TF work part of their distribution
- 19:02:33 [aldoG]
- Yes, I agreed with Jeremy (I have even proposed 3 phases, since (2) can be done in a 'simple', or in an "enriched" mode)
- 19:03:08 [danbri]
- q+ re versioning experience
- 19:03:14 [Ralph]
- Brian: a key test of commitment from the WordNet folk is maintenance as WordNet changes

- 19:04:44 [aldoG]
- Versioning is a major issue for every ontology production lifecycle ... we should also think on procedures to easily port new versions of wordnets and thesauri. Indeed, this issue has been very relevant in the fishery ontology project with UN-FAO ...
- 19:05:13 [danbri]
- [the class-based approach has merit where you want to mix wordnet w/ other vocab, eg <Pig x:name="Porky"/>...]
- 19:05:15 [Ralph]
- Jeremy: I don't hear any dissent on the first (simple) proposal
- 19:05:35 [danbri]
- q?
- 19:05:38 [Ralph]
- ACTION: Guus talk with Aldo about WordNet and produce a short-term plan for option 1
- 19:05:39 [aldoG]
- I will include the proposal to make the OWL port part of the distribution in the open letter to WN developers, also mentioning the alternatives
- 19:05:41 [Zakim]
- danbri, you wanted to feedback re versioning experience
- 19:06:21 [Ralph]
- DanBri: We made a namespace for WordNet version 1.6; it would be simple to make another namespace for subsequent versions
- 19:06:22 [aldoG]
- Re: ACTION, OK with me
- 19:06:43 [Ralph]
- DanBri: my original notion was to conflate all the versions in one namespace, but it seems that won't fly

- jjc should now be muted
- 19:07:16 [Ralph]
- DanBri: [would like to see] guidelines for converting thesaurii to RDF structures
- 19:07:32 [aldoG]
- Only one namespace could be unacceptable for lexicographic people
- 19:07:37 [Ralph]
- DanBri: WordNet could be examples in such a note
- 19:08:14 [Ralph]
- Guus: most of the translations that have been done are not complete. I propose that any translation we do should be complete
- 19:08:29 [Ralph]
- ... e.g. only noun trees and only a few relationships
- 19:08:36 [Ralph]
- ... there are about 20 relationships
- 19:08:39 [aldoG]
- Yes, Dan, (2) is a way of arriving to a common methodology to port terminological resources to SW
- 19:08:55 [Ralph]
- Guus: we should do all the relationships under option 1
- 19:08:59 [jjc]
- Zakim, unmute jjc

- Zakim, mute jjc
- 19:09:28 [Zakim]
- jjc should now be muted
- 19:09:33 [Ralph]
- Guus: ok, a goal -- not a requirement
- 19:09:39 [Ralph]
- Topic: OPEN TF
- 19:09:51 [Ralph]
- MikeU: lots of discussion in the past few weeks
- 19:10:00 [aldoG]
- In (1) it is very easy to do all the relationships. In (2), we'll need to distinguish among rels holding classes, individuals, words
- 19:10:21 [Ralph]
- MikeU: agreements have been reached on metaclasses, when to use classes as instances
- 19:10:38 [Ralph]
- ... mixing part-of and subclass relationship had some discussion also
- 19:10:52 [danbri]
- [aldoG, did you see the SKOS vocab aliman worked on? do you think that could be extended for use in describing w/net?]
- 19:11:08 [Ralph]
- ... consensus emerging to avoid judgemental calls and take specific issues, identify representation/modelling choices
- 19:11:20 [Ralph]
- ... explain consequences of the choices, without saying "bad" or "good"
- 19:11:52 [Ralph]
- ... in cases where we can agree that an outcome is probably a desirable one or not a desirable one we can say so
- 19:12:25 [aldoG]
- [yes, Dan, I heard about SKOS, I'll go through it asap]
- 19:12:33 [Ralph]
- MikeU:... next steps: agree to pick a single thing to try the non-judgemental approach
- 19:12:42 [Ralph]
- ... pick a candidate for a best practice
- 19:12:58 [Ralph]
- ... move forward on some simple low-hanging frui
- 19:13:08 [Ralph]
- s/fri/fruit/
- 19:14:15 [Ralph]
- Guus: would be good if this TF can produce a short note from a use case perspective
- 19:14:31 [Ralph]
- MikeU: Deb wrote a paper a few years ago
- 19:14:43 [Ralph]
- Deb: section called "tricks of the trade"
- 19:14:52 [Ralph]
- ... when do you model something as a concept or as an individual
- 19:14:57 [Ralph]
- ... when to use classes as instances
- 19:15:02 [Ralph]
- ... Classic
- 19:15:31 [Ralph]
- ... pointed out positive and negative implications of some choices
- 19:15:57 [Ralph]
- ... will propose a format for interchange; will need several iterations
- 19:16:12 [jjc]
- q+ to talk about early publication as note
- 19:16:19 [Ralph]
- ... will look over Living With Classic paper to see what can be lifted
- 19:16:31 [Ralph]
- ... not likely to attempt metaclasses to start
- 19:17:04 [Ralph]
- Natasha: classes for DC:Subject have been discussed -- this is actually a technical problem
- 19:17:20 [Ralph]
- ... propose to describe tradeoffs rather than say 'good' vs 'bad'
- 19:17:29 [Ralph]
- Deb: this doesn't sound like a short one to me
- 19:18:13 [Ralph]
- Guus: anyone who has tried to combine Dublin Core and OWL has been faced with this problem
- 19:18:13 [aldoG]
- maybe we could also try to give some idea of alternative general choices concerning categories of content, like my LAB has done in the EU WonderWeb project http://wonderweb.semanticweb.org, specially (public) deliverable 18
- 19:18:26 [Ralph]
- Guus: support this (Dublin Core) topic as a note
- 19:18:55 [Ralph]
- MikeU: we agree it is useful, concern about how long it might take
- 19:19:29 [Ralph]
- Natasha: do 2 topics, one simple
- 19:19:56 [jacco]
- deb: sounds like the GOF design pattern template ...
- 19:19:58 [Ralph]
- Deb: a template for explaining tradeoffs
- 19:20:06 [aldoG]
- obviously, alternatives of content should be given even within the Living with Classic case, or wrt Dublin Core, anyway very simple cases
- 19:20:35 [Ralph]
- Deb: a format that would help point out consensus quickly will help
- 19:21:18 [Ralph]
- Mike: useful for all TFs to look beneath the surface of email and notice that there often is a kernel of agreement
- 19:21:50 [Ralph]
- ACTION: Natasha look at classes-as-values DC:Subject issue
- 19:21:57 [aldoG]
- Having a GOF for trade-offs would be great
- 19:22:00 [Ralph]
- Natasha: note that classes-as-instances is a different issue
- 19:22:45 [Ralph]
- Deb: would like to change from OPEN to OEP
- 19:22:55 [Ralph]
- Ontology Engineering Patterns
- 19:22:58 [aldoG]
- Natasha, do you mean classes as concrete data types? therefore, the 'annotation' approach ...
- 19:23:23 [Ralph]
- ACTION: Deb propose a simple pattern for OEP
- 19:23:43 [Ralph]
- Deb: name change will facilitate search
- 19:24:07 [Ralph]
- Guus: I only put on the agenda those TFs that were getting active discussion
- 19:24:26 [Ralph]
- ... from the Cannes notes, another TF I'd like to see get attention is PORT - Porting Thesaurii to the Web
- 19:25:01 [Ralph]
- Alistair: I am working on thesaurii conversions right now
- 19:25:16 [Ralph]
- Guus: I am working on this as well, expect to involve someone else from my lab
- 19:25:27 [golbeck]
- i would like to be involved in port as well
- 19:25:33 [Ralph]
- DanBri: I posted a draft today
- 19:25:59 [Ralph]
- [Jennifer, are you on the phone with Aditya?]
- 19:26:06 [golbeck]

- DanBri Alistair this paper might be of interest: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~guus/papers/Wielinga04.pdf
- 19:28:04 [aliman]
- public-esw-thes has Stella Dextre-Clarke and Leonard Will from a team working on new british standards for thesauri

- DanBri: would the WG prefer to use an existing public-esw list or start a new one?
- 19:28:30 [aliman]
- + some others
- 19:28:35 [aditya]
- yeah, im on the phone..sorry, had to step out for smthg urgent and missed the ADTF discussion:( but am discussing it w/ libby here on irc separately
- 19:28:45 [aliman]
- (lots of good folks :)
- 19:29:02 [Ralph]
- Guus: if a separate list, would like to have regular summaries sent to the WG list
- 19:29:05 [Ralph]
- DanBri: agree
- 19:29:34 [Ralph]
- Guus: XML Schema TF?
- 19:30:09 [Ralph]
