Background & Motivation Ontology Semantic Web Syntactic Web Evolution Ontology Ontology Specifying Web ontology using common/standardized concepts in MDR for the Semantic Web MDR (Metadata Registry, ISO/IEC 11179) Contains standardized (common) concepts for various applications fields Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Goal and Purposes • The goal of this proposal is • to provide the Specification support of ontology using the conceptsin MDR • The purposes of this proposal are to promote the followings: • Faciliation usability of MDR under the Semantic Web environment • Building of ontology schema consisting of standardized concepts • i.e., well-known concepts or generalized concepts, which are accepted by general users as well as domain experts • Easy and clear understanding of concepts across corresponding same or similar application fields • More formalized building of ontology • Ease of definition (building) of ontology • Enhancement of interoperability between ontologies Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Scope • This Part of ISO/IEC 20943 • covers procedures (method or guidance) for the specification (building) of ontology based on ISO/IEC 11179 (2nd Ed.) • This part is based on only the second edition of ISO/IEC 11179. • provides just a method to use concepts in MDR for building ontology • e.g., How to utilize MDR to define a Concept for an ontology • This part does not contain ontology building methods by a specific ontology description language, such as RDF, RDF-S, OWL, Topic Maps, KIF, and so on Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)

Understanding with an Example • MDRsample = (CD, OC, Property, DEC, DT, Rel) • DT: Data types • CR: Relations between Classes • CD = {Student, Professor} • OC = {GraduateStudent, FullProfessor} • Property={name, age, address} • DEC = {GraduateStudent.name, GraduateStudent.age, FullProfessor.name, FullProfessor.age, FullProfessor.address} • DT = {String, int} • Rel = {advise, advised} Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO) Status Report of the Study Period on Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology

Issues: Scope • Scope of this Part • covers procedures (method or guidance) for the specification (building) of ontology based on ISO/IEC 11179 (2nd Ed.) • This part is based on only the second edition of ISO/IEC 11179. • provides just a method to use concepts in MDR for building ontology • e.g., How to utilize MDR to define a Concept for an ontology • This part does not contain ontology building methods by a specific ontology description language, such as RDF, RDF-S, OWL, Topic Maps, KIF, and so on Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Scope (cont.) • There are two comments related with the scope of this part • This part first considers the ongoing work on 11179-3 (3rd Ed.) • from Canada for the Wuhan meeting, August 2009. • This part considers the ongoing work on 19763-3 (2nd Ed.) • from the Wuhan Study Period meeting Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Scope (cont.) Standardized This Part (20943-6) Revision of this Part Considering MDR-3 (3rd), MFI-3 (2nd), & Hamornization ISO/IEC 11179-3 (3rd Ed.) New subdivisions (for MDR-3 (3rd) and MRF-3 (2nd)) ISO/IEC 19763 MFI-3 (2nd Ed.) New Project Harmornization effort of MDR and MFI Established a Strategy for Harmization • Korea suggests that with the following reasons, we'd better first develop this part 20943-6: PSO based on MDR (2nd Ed.) • Now there is an effort to harmonize MDR and MFI. • MDR-3 (3rd Ed.) and MFI-3 (2nd Ed.) are under development. • We need to support the existing MDR systems developed based on ISO/IEC 11179 (2nd Ed.) Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Usage of “Specification” Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Project Title • Current Title • Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO) • Canana Input: SC32/WG2 N1291 • Since the proposal deals with specifying Ontologies based on MDR, we suggest this should be reflected in the project title. • A simple change to the existing titles, removing ‘Web’ and inserting ‘MDR-based’ gives: • Framework for MDR-based Ontology Specification • Procedure for MDR-based Ontology Specification • However, is it the Ontology or the Specification that is MDR-based? Perhaps the following would be better: • Framework for MDR-based Specification of Ontology • Procedure for MDR-based Specification of Ontology • Suggestion from the Wuhan Meeting, August 2009 • The group suggests a name such as: • Guidance for Building Ontologies based on 11179-3 MDR and 19763-3 MFI Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Project Title (cont.) • Korea Suggestion • We agreed that the word “Web” is removed from the original title • 20943 family is based on ISO/IEC 11179 MDR.: 20943 project title is “ISO/IEC 20943, Information Technology -- Procedures for Achieving Metadata Registry Content Consistency” • Therefore, we don't need to name using such a modifier “MDR-based” or “Based on 11179-3 and 19763-3 MFI“ • We need to follow the naming rule of 20943 family for providing conisistency • Titles Suggested: • Framework for Building of Ontology (-gies) • Procedure for Buidling of Ontology (-gies) • Guidance for Building of Ontology (-gies) Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Issues: Additional? Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
Future Plan • After this meeting, 1st Working Draft will be submitted • 1st Working Draft will reflect the decisions and comments from this meeting • Submission Deadline? • After this meeting ~ December 2009 Issues for Procedure for the Specification of Web Ontology (PSO)
