TLO-Development activity

General Description

This activity concerns with the development of a Top Level Ontology (for short TLO) that will integrate the concepts currently existing in marine-domain knowledge bases (in particular FLOD and ECOSCOPE knowledge bases). The TLO-Development activity is dived into six sub-activities (or Tasks) and related to each other as shown in the diagram in Fig 1.

Methodology

It is based on an Iterative and Incremental development approach. As such, one iteration will involve all the above tasks that are described here http://wiki.i-marine.eu/index.php/Top_Level_Ontology. All the iterations will be accurately described and TLO Modules/ Versions will be delivered in each iteration ready to be used.

Activities scheduled with deadlines

At least two iterations are needed to complete the TLO-Development activity with deadlines December 2012 and January 2013, respectively. Each iteration is planned to be monitored by opening related tickets. And, as in January there is going to be the next meeting, we (Claudio, Julien and Carlo) will discuss if we need a third or more iterations.

Motivation / Scenario

Describe a scenario that will justify the need for having such a TLO on top of marine-domain knowledge bases.

FLOD Ontological Analysis

The ontological analysis of FLOD (+ references to documents/ wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/888

This sub-activity, with the first iteration, has the primary goal to provide a common understanding of the FLOD ontology network. It has been considered necessary for the development of the TLO.

The first draft describing the FLOD Ontological Analysis at the first iteration can be found here http://bscw.research-infrastructures.eu/bscw/bscw.cgi/d260861/FLOD%20analysis%20First%20Iteration.pdf

Ecoscope Ontological Analysis

The ontological analysis of Ecoscope (+ references to documents/ wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/889

TLO Design

The activities carried out towards the design of TLO (+ references to documents / wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/890

Here we describe the methodology of designing the TLO.

TLO Implementation

The activities carried out for the implementation of TLO (+ references to documents/ wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/891

TLO Results

TLO Usage

Activities related to the usage of TLO (+ references to documents/ wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/900

Here, we describe possible scenarios in which TLO can be evaluated. Currently, we identify the followings:

• TLO as meta-model for FLOD and ECOSCOPE
• TLO as knowledge model for semantic search in X-search
• TLO as testing model for Gerald (?, not sure yet)

TLO Evaluation

Activities related to the evaluation of TLO (+ references to documents/ wiki pages/ tickets). This activity is associated to the ticket https://issue.imarine.research-infrastructures.eu/ticket/892

Here, we report the results of the evaluation of the TLO which are related to the specific used scenario.
