Adam Pease |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Identify key issues in each area |
|
Identify actionable recommendations over next
six months (what, who, when) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
List of tools |
|
Self-reported maturity |
|
Use of DAML |
|
Needs from other tools |
|
Needs from DAML not currently met |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a partial list, driven by who could make
the meeting. For a full list see http://www.daml.org/tools/
and also http://reliant.teknowledge.com/RKF/ |
|
|
|
Mitch Kokar – Convisor |
|
consistency checker – against daml semantics,
daml axioms are moving target, remote use via web, needs deep ontologies |
|
Elisa Kendall – Sandpiper |
|
Ontologies in UML. Commercial tool- requires
Rational Rose |
|
Neil Goldman – Teknowledge LA |
|
Powerpoint, briefing associate, downlodable,
requires MSPowerpoint |
|
Ralph Swick – MIT |
|
Perl RDF Parser |
|
Annotation Tool – downloadable |
|
Wants: stronger DB for keeping triples, need DB
for some level of inferencing |
|
|
|
|
|
Jim Mayfield, John Hopkins |
|
Haircut Retrieval engine to handle RDF and DAML.
Used to crawl and index daml.org |
|
One can give a word and gives statistically
close words back (Airport -> Airplane, etc) |
|
That is a service on daml.org |
|
They index each daml document by text and
daml-tags |
|
Needs: Jena Robustness Issue (i.e., Jena breaks
when it finds markup that is not well-formed) in order to make it easier
for people to move from SIRPAC to Jena |
|
Dale Richards – AFRL |
|
“role of user of tools, application” |
|
|
|
|
|
Mike Rimmer – NWDC |
|
How we going to run some of this stuff over
large network, consider new bandwith user |
|
Need: intuition |
|
Users: The person in the field, the acquisition
military person, the daml developer |
|
Mike Pool – IET |
|
Needs: easy ontology query |
|
Hal Hultgren – NWDC |
|
“consumer”, interest in understanding the
maturity of the tools |
|
do we have a complete enough set of tools
(mature enough) in order for the warfighter to use |
|
understand organizational impact of new
technologies (navy organizes around command structure -> how do you
organize around information? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mala
Mehrotra - Pragati |
|
Multi-viewpoint clustering analysis tool: brings
up conceptual clusters (by seeing how different ontology parts are used in
axioms together. Thus, clustering wrt to use of ontologies (in axioms), not
wrt to their declaration) |
|
Facade creation tool |
|
Idea: morph ontologies for different apps, how
to “color” them for the specific application. |
|
Putting filters on the ontologies (facade
creation) |
|
Paul Neves – BBN: |
|
Tools for Experimentation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dave Roger – BBN: |
|
DAML Validator, output in DAML |
|
Uses RDF API, downloadable, has web interface,
fairly mature |
|
Need: instance editing, service that lets you
browse ontologies so that as you are creating instances, you can go out and
get other classes and instances that are related to what you are editing
right now |
|
Need: help to find ontologies that already
express what you need. |
|
Informal English comment might help to
understand what is the content. |
|
Common English words are available and have
pointers into the ontologies. |
|
But compound words are hard |
|
|
|
|
|
Grit Denker – SRI: |
|
Protégé plug-in for DAML+OIL (maybe hooking up
to FACT reasoner) |
|
DAML-OAA agent |
|
SNARK – open source available soon (could be
used for consistency checks on ontologies) |
|
Need: Rules in DAML+Oil and inference engine |
|
Lewis Hart – GRCI |
|
Duet (plug-in for Rational rose and version for
ArgoUML), |
|
Soon downloadable, does not do OCL |
|
Semantics based publish and subscribe engine.
Subscription are based on xql (status chaotic) |
|
Paul Kogut (not present): |
|
Aero DAML – takes text and generates DAML.
Available as web service (has built-in ontology) |
|
|
|
|
|
Adam Pease – Teknowledge |
|
DAML search engine, up 24/7 + download |
|
Needs rdfs:label + same…As |
|
Mike Dean (not present) |
|
DAML DB |
|
|
|
|
Trainable domain specific markup tools that
output DAML |
|
DAML-in -> NL out tool |
|
Database |
|
Inference engine |
|
Murray: Machine assisted Markup tool for free
text, reports, messages (also other
kind of sources, like RDV, imagery or audio). Tool that conveniently takes
message and marks it up. Doing briefing, spread-sheet -> want mark-up
that is automatically derived. Mark-up is of higher importance than
ontology authoring. |
|
Domain specific mark-up tools |
|
Human in the loop mark-up |
|
COA editing |
|
|
|
|
Neil Goldman: tools that enrich ontologies with
more info that makes mark-up possible |
|
HTML document, highlight all words (wrt given
ontology) and help mark-up, word matching a lexicon and mapping the lexicon
to an ontology. |
|
Robust Jena API |
|
Comprehension tool for DAML: |
|
Best practices guide for writing DAML |
|
Highlight salient concerts in an ontology |
|
Too Much UML? Consistency checking? |
|
Mapping best practices |
|
