Alignement to DUL Upper Ontology

From Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group
Jump to: navigation, search

Foundational layer

Heads-up:

This is a follow -up of the discussion in February and in March. This topic will be revisited soon and put on the agenda of a weekly teleconf, possibly the next one (July 20).
Krzysztof, Michael and Laurent are working together to prepare what will be presented to the group (we are trying to clarify what "alignment" means in this context).

UPDATE: See 20 July 2010 -- Decision to align the SSN ontology with DOLCE Ultra Lite and Skeleton part of the Incubator Report

Object: define how the Semantic Sensor Network Ontology relates to (reuses?) the definitions brought by an upper ontology like DOLCE Ultra Lite.

Questions:

  • Are there specific SSN ontology user profiles which would like or dislike to have an alignment to an upper ontology?
  • Are there some good reasons to align the SSN ontology to an upper ontology?
  • Is there a sustainable approach where we can maintain the alignement as an optional feature rather than a mandatory feature?
