Presentation Transcript

  1. User Facing Documents Task Force Objective: to produce “less technical” documents for potential authors and users of OWL content Participants: Alan Ruttenberg, Bijan Parsia, Deb McGuinness, Evan Wallace, Jeremy, Carroll, Jim Hendler, Vipul Kashyap, Martic Dzbor, Peter F. Patel-Schneider, Elisa Kendall • Charter deliverables which could be in scope: • Overview (introduction to the language) • Requirements • Descriptive specification (filling the role of OWL reference) • User Guide • Possibly additional outreach material e.g. Bijan’s User Guide for numerics in OWL

  2. UF Document ideas from members: • A revision of OWL Overview from Rec • A revision of OWL Reference • “Traceability” doc showing features linked to requirements and use cases from multiple domains

  3. No group agreement • Different views about audience • Some of the Issues: • Concern with this work slowing other WG deliverables • Disagreement with the WG producing some of these documents, particularly a Rec. docs • Concern with the organization, redundancy, length, and correctness of the OWL Rec. docs in this category • Concern about reader confusion about what is normative • Different views about preferred concrete syntax to describe (use in examples) • Disagreement on view (SemWeb –vs- DL) of language to describe • Trying to reach some agreement has prevented any forward process

  4. One possible way forward • Start working on some content • Perhaps working towards a document set like: • An introductory document between OWL 1.1 Overview and OWL Overview from Rec. (without the species of OWL emphasis) • A document intended as a language reference written in plain english • Requirements with traceability Use selectable views for syntax and content (see Bijan’s OWL tutorial document as an example)
