Subject: [ontolog] ontology tools and an ontology repository?
Source: http://ontolog.cim3.org/forums/ontolog/0211/msg00008.html
We are considering one possibility for our site: an ontology repository,
wherein folks can register ontologies and/or build ontologies using
Web-enabled tools, possibly hosted at our site.
So some questions:


How do you feel about:



Question 11OntologyRepository?
our site supporting an ontology repository?

      [X]  1. Yes
      [  ]  2. No



Question 12WebOntologyTool?
our site supporting a Web-enabled ontology tool (for developing ontologies)?

      [X]  1. Yes
      [  ]  2. No



Question 13NoneOfTheAbove

      Not a good idea, because:  (Not Answered)



Question 20WhichOntologyTools
Which ontology tools do you use?

      Ontology tool I use/am familiar with:  OILed, Protege, OntoEdit, etc.



Question 21ToolCharacterization
Can you characterize the tools: i.e., Web-enabled, ontology
languages supported, cost/licensing, POCs, experience, etc.

      "These are all free. OntoEdit non-demo can be purchased for about $895."



Question 22SupportiveToolProvider
Do you know of a tool provider who might support such a public
effort, hosted on our site?

      Candidate provider:  (Not Answered)



Question 30StdOntologyLanguages
Which ontology languages (knowledge representation languages) should
be the standard(s) for the ontologies?
(Some examples: Ontolingua/KIF, Common Logic, OKBC, CycL, RDF/S,
DAML+OIL, OWL, etc.)

      "KIF and Common Logic (the new ISO KIF) are the most expressive. OKBC is mostly equivalent to KIF. OWL will be the top Semantic Web ontology language."
