Good News Everyone!
Yesterday, I had a more detailed look at the FISE Ontology[1], which is
supposed to provide an output format for Apache Stanbol [2]. After a
while I found out that they fit together without major problems, so I
went ahead and created a merging proposal! The NIF Core Ontology [3] is
now dually licensed under CC-By 3.0 and Apache 2.0 to ease integration.
The NIF inf model ([4], line 92) documents the mapping from NIF-Core to
Fise. One minor problem is that FISE uses xsd:int and not
xsd:nonNegativeInteger for indices.
The mapping is complete except for the (probably unnecessary)
fise:entity-label.
(cross posting to Stanbol and NLP2RDF list)
Due to this merger, the creation of a release candidate for NIF 2.0 is
coming along quite well now. The seven properties/classes (Context,
String, isString, RFC5147String, endIndex, beginIndex,
referenceContext) at the core are already stable.
We included a lot of people in the attribution section[5] as well, but
the list is not yet exhaustive. Also there is a NIF validator software
and a logging ontology.
The Validator uses SPARQL 1.1 to produce log output adhering to the
logging ontology.
* Jar for CLI (no webservice yet) [6]
* Readme [7]
* The SPARQL queries [8]
Please feel free to:
* download the validator and test it on your NIF implementation to see
what changed
* check if we spelled your name correctly ;) in the attribution section
[5].
* Please also tell us whether we should add your logo in the
maintainer/supporter section
* check and extend the ontology and write some additional SPARQL queries[8]
Since we moved to GitHub now, we are also eager to give out push
permissions....
All the best,
Sebastian
