Purpose

Design an architecture and a work process for collaborative ontology authoring.

Content

Two aspects of the network must be considered:

  1. Cooperative definition of ontologies
  2. Sharing of data across the web

This page talk about the first aspect.

How can ontologies be shared? This question has already been discussed briefly in the plan, but now a thorough solution and design is needed. What if many people need to modelthe same concept? What if they model them, doing work already done by someone else in parallel, without knowing about each other? Many solutions were tried over the years, and all of them have weaknesses. The solutions proposed here will probably have weaknesses too, but hopefully they will make a step forward.

Before suggesting ideas, two lists will be made:

  1. List of downsides of existing solutions, and things missing from them
  2. List of requirements derived from the first list and from the design concepts

Let us begin. Here is the first list, containing downsides, weaknesses and missing features:

And here is the second list, containing requirements:

This should be enough to start.

TODO develop a system which implements these ideas
