Designing the Team-oriented Ontology Management System with Ajax Technology Ze Li, Johannes Keizer, Zhong Wang, Margherita Sini, Yelu Zheng The Institute of Sci-Tech Information, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GDAAS-ISTI) Group of Information and Library, Food and Agricultural Organization of United Nations (FAO-GIL)
Outline • Background • Gap identification • Proposal • Candidate technology • System design and development framework • Uncertainties
Background -Where does it from NeOn conference, Mar 22-24 Hi, I’m Ze Li. this paper will give a brief introduction on some related discussions with FAO-GIL colleagues during my visiting Rome in March 2006…
We and Protégé • KAON was introduced in the 5th AOS workshop in Beijing, 2004 ( good, but slow, then dropped) • One domain specialist (Jackie Chen) was trained to use Protégé, and ISTI deployed it in the first collaboration project in 2005(Ontology Conversion and adaptation) • One IT specialist (Ze Li) was trained to apply Protégé to perform some ontology management (Ontology merging, concept structure reengineering) and semantic related trials in 2006
We and Protégé Ctd. • Functionalities • 58,676 registered users • 81 plug-ins (7 types, 13 topics) • Performance (Lack of experimental data) • Resource hungry (memory, CPU) • Net environment? Worse • Team-work on the Net? You tell … We have been working with Protégé for almost two years, it could hardly say that we get alone well with each other…
The Gap • What may happen with the C/S Protégé configuration • Fat-Client end (2M DDR, 2.3GHZ CPU) • Patience required …… • Unexpected exception alert during loading the file • …… Sorry for not collecting enough experimental stuff to support this, but these are the real situations we experienced…
And need to concern… 1 2 3 6 5 4 4:Auditing the data which are extracted from domain knowledge in the step 3 and editing the precise text definitions for concepts and relationships to clearly define the expressions of these concepts and relationship terminologies. 5:Integrating concepts and terminologies from other related areas integrating new concepts, attributes and relationships extracted from domain information, to improve domain ontology information. 6:Managing the dynamic status of Domain Ontology, such as the versions control and the transformation among multilingual languages.
The environment required by collaborative ontology development … • Functionalities • Ontology management and construction • Team members with different roles • Performance • Quick responses on the Net • Collaborate with existing tools (e.g. Protégé’s plug-ins) • Non-conflict ontology maintenance ?
TOMS Which indicate… • Multi-user access • Efficiency of ontology database management and access • Experience similar to desktop applications • Capability of protégé collaboration ! Yes, They are TOMS’ objectives
Candidate Techs • Ajax: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML • Comprised by the technology of HTML, JavaScript™, DHTML and DOM. • Jesse James Garrett. ajax: a new approach to web applications. http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php. • Jena package: Java framework for building Semantic Web applications • Rule-based inference engine included • To store Ontology models in the related databases • Originate from internal projects of HP Lab

Framework Yes, it intend to be developed with Open Source
Uncertainties • Pros • Collaborative features • User experience • Prototype need to be developed and evaluated • User interface • Collaboration with Protégé • Multi-user access
