Task Group Leader

Simon Stier (FH ISC, DE)

TG Members: Jesper Friis, Simon Clark, Eibar Flores, Francesca Bleken (all SINTEF, NO), Lukas Gold (Fraunhofer ISC, DE), Thomas Hanke (Fraunhofer IWM, DE) 

Goal

The goal of the task group is to develop a common approach for the documentation and demonstration of ontologies including a software stack and reference implementation. This will lead to a standardised visual representation of ontologies, while reducing the effort for ontology developers to create such and improving the access to ontologies for domain experts. Overall, the outcomes contribute to the Focus Area Digitalisation & Interoperability goal of a sustainable digitalisation eco-system and success of digital platforms for collaboration and exchange. 

Objectives and planned outcome

  • Ontology and domain expert requirements on ontology documentation & demonstration 
  • Review of existing solutions: Plain markup, graphviz, pyLODEWebVOWLOntoPortal-Derivates, Wiki-based / OpenSemanticLab, … 
  • Selection of a standard solution, identification of open tasks 
  • Providing of a full OpenSource software stack via GitHub Org. OntoDoc to deploy and populate a documentation platform instance
