Hi Jody. <I see TQ in a unique position to add these features through TBLive and provide collaboration through the TBC interface, but also have a configurable web interface to give tailored views to SME to work through the collaborative process.>
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, we are planning to offer a configurable web interface as well as additional collaboration features such as discussions. You will start to see some of these new capabilities this year in the upcoming releases.

The tools that I'm looking at to derive these features are Collaborative Protégé and Knoodl. These include workflow and role support to the ontology development cycle. Protégé’s implementation is nice for the ontology-savvy because the discussion and workflow occurs in the full editing environment and allows the editor role to easily make changes at the rdf/owl level. The difficulty I see is that SMEs and general users of the ontology-based systems will not want/have time to learn the Protégé interface with full complexity. They have a web interface, WebProtégé, I'm not really familiar with its capabilities. Knoodl on the other hand provides a flexible wiki environment that is directly annotating the owl resources and where discussions, explanations and background textual information are nice for the user. But it seems more difficult to edit and would certainly lack the full range of support that I'm becoming accustomed to in TBC. I see TQ in a unique position to add these features through TBLive and provide collaboration through the TBC interface, but also have a configurable web interface to give tailored views to SME to work through the collaborative process. What, if any, are the plans in this area? - Jody --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TopBraid Composer Users" group.
