The W3C HTML Validator and the ICS-FORTH Validating RDF Parser might provide useful starting points. It would be great if this could be packaged as a plug-in to XML Spy.

Dave Rager is working on this. See here.

ISI has volunteered to maintain a WebScripter list (static and dynamic) of desired Validator features. If you wish to contribute to this list,

1. copy this DAML file to a publicly accessible Web server
2. substitute your to-do items
3. send the URL where you put it to frank@isi.edu

GRCI has released a DAML API.

Jena now includes a DAML API. ]]> DAML Mozilla Sidebar Mozilla browser supports "sidebars" which can monitor the content of the current window. We would like to develop a sidebar that would indicate when a page contains DAML content and allow the user to browse the available statements, referenced ontologies, etc.

An early prototype was developed by BBN and demonstrated at the DAML Kickoff Meeting.

Mike Schrader has implemented the DAML Sidebar. ]]> DAML Ontology Editor Protege can be used to create/modify RDF Schemas, and could probably be extended to handle DAML. Ontolingua now handles DAML-ONT.

OilEd may fulfill this role.

SRI has developed a DAML+OIL plugin for Protege. The Protege team is now developing a plugin for OWL. ]]> DAML Markup Tool We may be able to leverage Jeff Heflin's Knowledge Annotator for SHOE and/or W3C's Annotea.

For DAML Homework Assignment 1, Stanford KSL developed a tool to take DAML instance information and distribute it among HTML pages.

OntoMat does this. ]]> DAML Instance Editor Mike Dean adapted BBN's paramedit tool to generate RDF and RDF Schema for use in DAML Homework Assignment 1.

Siegfried Handschuh has developed OntoMat. ]]> DAML Ontology Mapping Tool It might be desirable to extend the Microsoft BizTalk Mapper to do this.

We may be able to leverage the merging system of Chimaera to help with the mapping problem. ]]> HTML to DAML (DAML Gateway) Stanford KSL and SRI have used W4 and WebL to provide OAA interfaces to WWW sites.

Could this be driven directly off DAML-S service descriptions?

Mike Dean has started to develop a set of DAML HTML Gateway tools. ]]> XML to DAML At least two approaches are possible: 1) provide general tools and techniques (e.g. XSLT) to generate DAML from XML, 2) specify rules which allow the direct mapping from an XML Document Object Model to a DAML model.

A tool that converted from XML Schema to DAML+OIL (March 2001 or later, with data type support) would be very useful.

Mark Neighbors of Booz-Allen is implementing an XML Schema to DAML translator. ]]> DAML XSLT

The Apache xalan implementation of XSLT (versions 1 and 2) provides interfaces to support a DOM model as input. This DOM model could be "lazily" created from a DAML document and/or knowledge base.

Mike Dean has done some work on a prototype implementation.

See also Stefan Kokkelink's Querying and transforming RDF.

Booz-Allen has released an initial implementation of their DAML/XSLT Adapter.

N3 rules can be used with cwm's --filter option to perform such graph transformations. ]]> Hypertext DAML Ontologies DAML Ontology Library), it would be helpful to have a tool that could markup a DAML ontology (class and property definitions) to add anchors for IDs, provide hyperlinks to referenced resources, etc.

HyperDAML has now been implemented. ]]> DAML diff Jena 1.1 includes jena.rdfcompare, which tests for equivalence.

W3C is developing an RDF/DAML repository difference calculation module. ]]> DAML emacs mode Mark Burstein has released DAML Emacs Mode. ]]> Graph Filtering PalmDAML. A general purpose program might take a collection of DAML source URIs and user preferences and use tagging to associate a weight/value with each node and arc (based on node type, property type, proximity to other interesting objects, etc.) and then produce a file containing the highest priority statements (limited by size or other criteria).

Booz-Allen is working on this.

cwm includes several facilities for filtering. ]]> DAML-ized cvsweb Concurrent Versions System (CVS) for source code control. CVS collects historical statistics with each file and in a central repository history file. Several tools such as ViewCVS (used by SourceForge) and cvsweb (used by W3C's public CVS repository) provide a WWW interface to CVS repositories. Modifying one or more of these tools to produce DAML+OIL as well as HTML versions of the log data, and getting the changes incorporated into their official releases, could provide widespread use of DAML and greatly ease analysis of this data. It could also introduce DAML to the community of open source developers. ]]> Java N3 Parser Notation 3 (N3) is becoming widely used as a presentation syntax for DAML+OIL. The only tool that currently supports N3, cwm, is written in Python. A Java implementation of N3 would open it to a wider audience and allow direct use by tools such as the DAML Crawler.

Jena 2 includes an N3 parser. ]]> High-Performance DAML Parser Preliminary analysis suggests that this is in large part due to the layered implementation of these tools (e.g. XML, RDF statements, nodes). A DAML-specific Java parser designed and implemented from the outset to minimize processing time and memory consumption could remove this limitation and be of great benefit in promoting widespread use of DAML.

Short of a new implementation from scratch, use of the Document Table Model (DTM) in Xalan-Java 2 might be helpful.

Booz-Allen plans to work on this.

ARP provides a streaming parser with good performance. ]]> ERwin to DAML Translator ERwin 4.0 can store an XML representation of the model. Mike Dean has done some preliminary work in mapping this representation to DAML+OIL.

The Unicorn System can read ERwin and export DAML+OIL or OWL. ]]> Java to DAML Translator Mike Dean is working on java2daml, which includes use of XML Schema datatypes and cardinality constraints.

The FRODO rdf2java tool provides bi-directional mappings for RDF. ]]> LDAP to DAML See the javax.naming.ldap package in JDK 1.3+. ]]> DAML Forms XForms can be effectively used to generate DAML content. ]]>
