Subject: [ontolog] ontology tools and an ontology repository?
Source: http://ontolog.cim3.org/forums/ontolog/0211/msg00008.html
We are considering one possibility for our site: an ontology repository,
wherein folks can register ontologies and/or build ontologies using
Web-enabled tools, possibly hosted at our site.
So some questions:


How do you feel about:



Question 11OntologyRepository?
our site supporting an ontology repository?

      [  ]  1. Yes
      [X]      Maybe
      [  ]  2. No



Question 12WebOntologyTool?
our site supporting a Web-enabled ontology tool (for developing ontologies)?

      [X]  1. Yes
      [  ]  2. No



Question 13NoneOfTheAbove
none of the above.

      Remarks:  Great idea -- as long as it is user-friendly, otherwise you may just want to accept uploads from other tools like Protege or OntoEdit.



Question 20WhichOntologyTools
Which ontology tools do you use?

      Ontology tool I use/am familiar with:  We use Protege.



Question 21ToolCharacterization
Can you characterize the tools: i.e., Web-enabled, ontology
languages supported, cost/licensing, POCs, experience, etc.

      "(Not Answered)"



Question 22SupportiveToolProvider
Do you know of a tool provider who might support such a public
effort, hosted on our site?

      Candidate provider:  Protege is open source.



Question 30StdOntologyLanguages
Which ontology languages (knowledge representation languages) should
be the standard(s) for the ontologies?
(Some examples: Ontolingua/KIF, Common Logic, OKBC, CycL, RDF/S,
DAML+OIL, OWL, etc.)

      "Not being familiar with the subtle differences between the languages -- I would say the safest bet is RDF/S, DAML+OIL and OWL."



Question 40AdditionalComments
Additional Comments?

      "How would this repository differ from the DAML+OIL ontology listings on the DAML site?"
