Is there any discussion about which level is more useful? 13:33:12 Sven: mainly using metadata level annotations, although other types of annotations could be useful 13:33:34 ... some discussions in the OGC discussion paper, and looking for more experiencies 13:33:44 zakim, mute me 13:33:44 Holger should now be muted 13:34:21 cory: it seems more like concept to concept annotation, instead of instance to instance, or other types 13:34:42 sven: annotations between feature type ontology and domain ontologies are at the instance level 13:34:57 zakim, unmute me 13:34:57 Holger should no longer be muted 13:35:18 ack bermudez 13:35:27 zakim, mute me 13:35:27 Holger should now be muted 13:35:37 Luis: how many concepts are there in the registry? Do you want to the details of capturing unit semantics in different domains? 13:37:07 sven: GML data can be transformed into a set of domain-independent ontologies. Also domain ontologies available. Also an ontology of measurement units 13:37:09 zakim, unmute me 13:37:09 Holger should no longer be muted 13:38:26 cory: it seems that service descriptions are somehow out of the scope of the group for the time being 13:38:33 ... but good presentation overall 13:39:40 kerry: how have you solved the issue of requiring specialists for annotation? 13:39:42 zakim, mute me 13:39:42 Holger should now be muted 13:41:26 Question: How often did you (do you) reuse ontologies developed elsewhere? 13:42:03 sven: in the SWING project there were domain experts, who were able to use annotation tools, so it was not a major issue. 13:45:14 zakim, unmute me 13:45:14 Holger should no longer be muted 13:45:15 kerry: it seems that there were no special mechanisms for specialists to provide missing knowledge, adapt existing one, etc., isn't it? 13:45:20 sven: yes 13:45:48 jgraybeal: How often did you (do you) reuse ontologies developed elsewhere? 13:47:39 sven: some were reused, although translated to WSML. Much harder with domain ontologies. Reuse still an issue 13:48:47 sven: some similarity reasoning techniques were tried 13:50:29 interesting that the condition of the foreign ontologies (unannotated, not modular) prevented reuse 13:51:35 zakim, agenda? 13:51:35 I see 5 items remaining on the agenda: 13:51:37 1.
