20:25:36 kerry: please post a link of the example 20:25:46 http://semanticweb.cs.vu.nl/2009/11/sem/ 20:26:02 see, for instance, http://semanticweb.cs.vu.nl/2009/11/img/Fig1.jpg 20:26:31 +1 20:26:42 ahaller2: generally agrees, but there should not be to many modules 20:26:51 q? 20:27:09 ... and put all upper level relations in one module 20:27:29 s/to many/too many/ 20:27:53 kerry: what is modularisation?

OBOE, BCO 20:36:42 kerry: SSN predates data cube vocabulary 20:37:04 q? 20:37:10 BCO is aligned with BFO, so takes fundamental continuant/occurrent split as a starting point 20:37:11 kerry: not sure whether data cube affects modularization 20:37:15 ack ClausStadler 20:37:22 s/worhtwile/worthwhile/ 20:37:43 TOPIC: SSN Tools: what tools for collaborative ontology editing? http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/SSN_Tasks 20:38:24 also: avoid problems like whether we allow for virtual sensors or now 20:38:48 ahaller2: GitHub can be used, but webprotege has limitations 20:39:32 q+ to note that @phila should have a view on this 20:39:33 Why not use DL functional syntax first? 20:39:38 ahaller2: suggestions for online tools? 20:39:47 q? 20:40:04 just one note: with git it would be possible to add e.g. a pre-commit hook which prevents being able to commit a non-validating file, but not sure if existing validators would fit your needs 20:40:26 jtandy: phil has looked around how others do it 20:40:59 jtandy: has one person been responsible. or where there more editors? 20:41:25 q+ 20:41:26 s/where/were/ 20:41:32 q- 20:41:45 Lets not be driven by tools too early in the process 20:42:02 q? 20:42:30 KJanowicz: start simple, like pen and paper 20:42:45 q+ 20:42:47 ack Linda 20:42:51 https://www.yworks.com/products/yed 20:43:33 Linda: in a Dutch project no online solution was found 20:43:51 ack ahaller2 20:43:53 Linda: Topbraid and subversion was used in the end 20:43:54 For collaborative editing/merging need effective diff mechanism! 20:44:21 Agreed but this is what you would have yed and other concept maps for 20:44:26 ahaller2: warns against shutting out people 20:44:35 the same will happen in protege, the axioms require an understanding of OWL 20:44:54 Its not Turtle that is the issue, it is RDF! 20:45:11 ahaller: use webprotege only for classes and properties 20:45:12 It seems possible to work on both a graph level and an axiomatic level. The graph level is more accessible. 20:45:26 agree with Josh 20:45:55 q? 20:46:11 ack ahaller2 20:47:02 joshliebermann: just the graph view could make the ontology more accesible 20:47:32 How to ensure graph/axiom views are correctly synced? 20:47:37 s/joshliebermann/joshlieberman/ 20:48:10 We could use VOWL for that 20:48:16 kerry: axioms are probably the most of the work 20:48:39 http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/protegevowl.html 20:48:39 kerry: what is VOWL? 20:48:59 There is time-zone specific humor, apparently. 20:49:35 the problem is with the Protege desktop version is that it will always scramble the source code 20:49:53 +1 ahaller2 20:50:12 aharth: no strong opinion, no magic solution either 20:50:44 Q+ 20:50:45 Would be good if Protege joined the 21st century and used turtle instead of rdf/xml 20:50:46 kerry: afraid that this topic is not going to be resolved either 20:50:55 Why not Topbraid then? 20:51:12 This is merely a serialization 20:51:49 Canonical serialization ? 20:52:07 does any23 produce a reliable serialisation? 20:52:55 action: ahaller2 to look at tools for ontology editing 20:52:55 Created ACTION-133 - to look at tools for ontology editing [on Armin Haller - due 2016-01-27]. 20:53:09 q- 20:53:25 IMHO our main challenge will be to develop a good formalization. Tools and serializations are secondary, lets make sure they do not hold us back. 20:53:36 ack Linda 20:54:01 Linda: topbraid has a free version 20:54:33 SimonCox: there is a limit on visualisation (diagrams) 20:54:48 q+ 20:54:54 SimonCox: Topbraid does better serialization 20:54:57 ack aharth 20:55:08 Do they have a linux version? 20:55:12 q- 20:55:25 i don't know about any23, but for comparing changes in RDF files I was using raptor to convert arbitrary rdf syntaxes (http://librdf.org/raptor/ | sudo apt-get install raptor2-utils) to ntriples followed by a sort - not sure what happens with blank nodes though (i try to avoid them, but with owl axioms it would be a pain) 20:55:28 http://lodlaundromat.org ? 20:55:30 (what andreas just sais ;) ) 20:56:08 Also possible to use one of the "alignment" tools as the diff generator. 20:56:10 aharth: if we use canonical RDF we can use different tools 20:56:56 N-Triples is always most reliable route to canonical form, but least inspectable visually! 20:56:57 kerry: that would be an ideal solution 20:57:16 Aidan's paper http://www.www2015.it/documents/proceedings/proceedings/p430.pdf 20:57:27 s/sais/says/ 20:57:51 sorry josh, I did not get that 20:58:23 a quick way would be just sort an N-Triples file, if there are blank nodes, use the algorithm from: Aidan Hogan, "Skolemising Blank Nodes while Preserving Isomorphism", WWW conference 2015 20:59:06 kerry: josh, please note the idea in the wiki 20:59:17 Q+ 20:59:25 ack linda 20:59:45 Linda: the LOD Laundromat could be used to clean up RDF 20:59:48 Alignment tool example: LogMap -- http://csu6325.cs.ox.ac.uk/ 21:00:34 kerry: time is up, next topic will be postponed 21:01:01 kerry: reminder: please let us know about involvement in F2F meeting 21:01:25 bye and thanks Kerry 21:01:26 bye bye 21:01:29 Thanks, and bye 21:01:33 bye and thanks 21:01:37 joshlieberman has left #sdw 21:01:39 bye! 21:01:46 \quit 21:02:03 rrsagent, draft minutes 21:02:03 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-sdw-minutes.html kerry 21:02:44 bye! 21:02:59 bye 21:26:50 trackbot, end meeting 21:26:50 Zakim, list attendees 21:26:50 As of this point the attendees have been kerry, robin, frans, Linda, ClemensPortele, aharth, ahaller2, joshlieberman, ChrisLittle, jtandy, SimonCox, MattPerry, AndreaPerego, 21:26:53 ...
