Discussion 9 - CBIIT Project Recommendations

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work

Missing reference to CBIIT supported standards.

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Triple Store Access

Specify that ARQ supports the W3C standard SPARQL.

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Semantic Knowledge
Store

Forgotten word: "represent the ability to store"
Missing plural: "These tools"
Typo: "where required"
Consistently write SAILS with capital letters.
Typo: "a variety of other formats"

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Semantic Knowledge
Store

Meaningless sentence: "and datasets which can be used in a way which will allow for some amount of use within service environments"

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Inference, Rules and Expert Systems

Double-up: "They share in common"

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Inference, Rules and Expert Systems

Additional to RuleML, RIF --

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-overview/

-- should be mentioned as
the standard for rule exchange (it does for rules what OWL did for Description Logics).

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Inference, Rules and Expert Systems > RDF and OWL Tools

I would put TopBraid SPIN together with ARQ, rather than with the RDF and OWL tools, as it would only support a small fragment of OWL namely OWL 2 RL (and is as such not a full OWL reasoner).

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Inference, Rules and Expert Systems > General Purpose

A section for pure rule reasoners seems to be missing (Jess and Drools are production rules engines), what is with reasoners such as Ontobroker (

products/ontobroker/ ), FLORA-2 (

http://flora.sourceforge.net/

), dlv (

http://www.dlvsystem.com/dlvsystem/index.php/Home

), dlvhex (

http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/research/systems/dlvhex/

), and others?

Section 9 > Tools Recommended for Semantic Infrastructure Work > Design

Should be "Jena" instead of "Jean". Typo: "its functionality" instead of "it's functionality" Typo: "programmed" instead of "programed" Typo: "additions" instead of "addition".
