q The Mist is an implementation of a quality assurance
methodology.
q It consists of a testing environment for newly developed or new
versions of both ontologies and artifacts.
q It was developed to take advantage of the DAML Validator and the
RDF Validator web-based tools.
q The solution is a testing directory on DRC DAML website in which
Ontologists have read/write privileges. The directory was dubbed
the “Mist.”
q The Mist also serves as the inbox for publish-ready ontologies
and artifacts.
q The Mist preserves the integrity of published DAML files, while
empowering Ontologists to validate new/revised DAML files via
web-based tools.
