Collaborative Ontology Development

Approaches Browse and Edit (BioPortal, Web Editors) Version Control (analogous to cvs, svn)

But should be ontology aware Shared Document Approach (Protégé Server)

CODs Protégé Server available protege2.cim3.com:4025

BioPortal

5

Browsing and Editing

Semantic Wiki’s (NCI Biomed GT) Protégé Web Client (Vaporware) BioPortal (More browsing oriented) Attributes

Simpler Editing Interfaces For people with less experience with ontologies

Compelling Display of Ontology Contents Easily shared

6

Version Control

Requires an Ontology Versioning System Cvs, svn, etc are not sufficient Somebody needs to make one (NeOn?)

Independent updates to ontologies by experts Changes are shared via a commit

Simplifies other tools (Editting, inference,…) Performance Distribution of tools on the server-client (inference)

7

Ontology Servers

Clients can interact while editting Updates are shared immediately Chat Tab for discussion of changes Collaborative Protégé

Access very large ontologies Resource intensive activities can be done

on the server

8

Goal

To develop all three approaches and to be able to combine them as needed

Cim3.net will be a testing ground for the latest technologies.

needed through Peter Yim Snapshots of these ontology projects
