WonderWeb

• Inventory of current components
  • Reasoner Interface (DIG).
    • DIG 1.0 specification implemented by RACER and FaCT. Currently in use in OilEd 3.5.
    • DIG 1.1 specification includes minor updates to support multiple knowledge bases. FaCT implementation mid/end March. RACER to follow. Cerebra??
    • Note that DIG is not a server interface, it's a reasoner interface and doesn't provide all he functionality one might expect of an ontology server.
    • CORBA-FaCT no longer supported and should be phased out.
• Inventory of components under production
  • Reasoner Innards
    • Dmitry Tsarkov currently working on FaCT-II (C++ implementation).
    • Prototype delivery likely end July 2003
    • Delivery Sept 2003 (with prototype datatype reasoning support).
    • Will support DIG, so introduction of the new reasoner should have no impact on applications using DIG.
  • OWL API Support.
    • Replacement for current OilEd data structures.
    • Set of interfaces allowing programmatic access to OWL ontologies.
    • Improved handling of change, update, separation of asserted and inferred information etc.
    • Delivery ultimately dependent on WebOnt^? WG decisions. Realistic date for stable implementation May/June 2003.
  • KAON.
    • A broker for ontology services (provided by University of Karlsruhe).
    • Provides access to ontologies via APIs (RDF/KAON/OWL).
    • Plumbs together backend storage, reasoners, versioning tools. WW is committed to delivering versioning methodologies, but not tools.
    • Delivery of KAON (with integrated OWL API) Dec 2003.
  • Instance Store. Not a WW deliverable or requirement, but an activity that WW can contribute expertise to.
• Inventory of components needed
• Major milestones with dates up June 2003
  • DIG 1.1 March 2003
  • OWL API Initial Release March 2003
• Major milestones up to Jan 2004
  • FaCT II Sept 2003
  • KAON Dec 2003

GONG

• Inventory of current components
  • Scripting environment (java python) with which to do repetitive editing of DAML+OIL ontologies and scripting multiple tasks such as loading, merging, editing, reasoning , reporting.
  • Java library which overlays a simplified view on a DAML+OIL ontology. Reduces the logical long-windedness of authoring in DAML+OIL (automatic insertion of disjoints, etc)
  • Library implementing GONG workflow steps in as generic a way as possible.
    • 1) Pattern based dissection of ontology term phrases into DAML or IR
    • 2) Mapping categories of new concepts generated above to arbitrary external ontologies in a variety of formats using a variety of strategries.
    • 3) Ontology sub-setting
    • 4) Disjoint management (add, reason, prune)

• Prototype components ( components which may or may not be taken forward)
  • Experimental intermediate representation script library (to be superseded by Colin’s library). Requirements for a more sophisticated IR awaiting in depth survey of GO and demands that property drive classification would place on the language.
  • Database adapter to store experimental intermediate representation in Gene Ontology database
  • Prototype reporting tool, which pulls together information from all the steps in the workflow so that GO editors can examine inferred changes to the ontology and navigate the information used to produce those inferences.

• Components in production
  • Simple framework to configure and chain together the steps in the GONG workflow and record events.
  • GUI to present the simplified view as provided by Colin’s library.

• Components needed
  • Human readable version of DAML+OIL/ OWL
  • ? database backend to store ontology / provenance information
  • Editing tools designed to manage large amounts of property based definitions (text editor / CVS would do)
  • Change management tool. (tying in Michael Klein’s Ontoview tools)

• Major milestones with dates up June 2003
  • March 2003– completion of workflow framework and GUI
    • -- dissemination of results on website
  • May 2003 – completion of first releases of reporting tool

• Major milestones up to Jan 2004
  • July 2003 – demonstration environment to create edit complex definitions
  • September – demonstration environment to manage change (integration of ontoview conceptual CVS)
  • End of project 2003
