See Frank Loebe for general information in OpenResearch, or go directly to my workpage at https://wiki.imise.uni-leipzig.de/FrankLoebe .

Improvements to OpenResearch

Organizational

Major

  • the underlying ontology
    • I see major problems of a coordinated evolution of the underlying ontology, i.e., that people use the right relationships etc.
    • How will the model evolve, who adapts the data to this?
    • I believe that dedicated editors are required to harmonize the categorization of entities into subject fields


  • how to treat the temporalization of the data
    • e.g., if the editorial board of a journal changes
    • Options
  1. Keep only current info as semantic, historical should reside in the histories
  2. Try to maintain past info as semantic, e.g. "had EB member" ... but a better solution is required.

Minor

General Policies

  • use of abbreviations for URIs is no good idea, because if all science is to be covered, there will be many disambiguations
ex: AAMAS = (Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, The American Association of Medical Audit Specialists, ...(?) )

Events

  • sometimes, event descriptions can have "resort names" or "hotel names" as more precise specification of the hotel -> not covered in the ontology
  • there are at least two types of (initiating) submission dates to be distinguished:
    • submission of an abstract
    • submission of the paper
  • Concerning the description of Template:Event: how do "submission deadline" and "paper deadline" relate to each other? The explanatory note sounds like "paper deadline" is-a "submission deadline". On the one hand ok, on the other I see the problem for lists of upcoming deadlines that one must see the abstract submission deadline first, otherwise you may miss that.
My proposal on this issue: in the ontology, view "abstract deadline" as well as "paper deadline" as "submission deadline" and find a solution for displaying tables which have several "submission deadline" links. (How do the tables treat multiple entries/1:m relations, actually?)

Journals

  • Journals can have an ISSN assigned, as well as an E-ISSN
ex: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=KER
  • Journals can have several editors
ex: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=KER&type=eb

Technical

Typos & Typo-like stuff

  • open 13.09.2008 Template:Event has a typo in the bottom part starting with "A note on the various deadlines", namely "accpept demos"
  • fixed 13.09.2008 who? Template:Event has wrong comment "Abbreviation of event series, in case the event belongs to a continuing series" for field "Superevent"

Implementation Changes Required

Major

  • OPEN, CRITICAL, 13.09.2008 visibility of the ontology / used classes, properties, etc.
It would be highly valuable to have a page/overview/listing of all used class names and property names in the ontology, in order to reuse these. Editing support for this would be highly beneficial, as well, e.g., enhancing the toolbar of the editing field with a class and a property browser would be a first step.

Maybe the following do the trick? Special:Properties Special:Categories --Soeren 11:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Minor

  • The Property:Homepage should not always add a "http"-prefix, because one may link to pages with other protocols like https, ftp, etc. Moreover, I suggest this in general for all uses of the property, because e.g. for copying links a browser context menu, the "http"-prefix is included in the copied text. Then, it is annoying to remove it. The best solution for editing would be to detect whether there is a protocol part at the beginning, then keep it, and if not, add "http" as default. For viewing, one may similarly cut off the http-prefix. Personally, I don't find it disturbing.
ex1: my homepage has a "https"-prefix.
ex2: I had the editing problem on the RuleML 2008 page, pasting the link into the field.

Integration of Existing Data

  • get Persons, Journals, Conferences etc. from DBLP
in general, it should be a good idea to cooperate with them, perhaps cross-link

Legal Issues

  • Can one simply copy short descriptions from other websites?
ex: The short description of KER from [1] for The Knowledge Engineering Review

Potential Use Cases for OpenResearch

For Scientists

  • personal event listings
    • ideas
      • management of events related to submissions (to be considered for submission, where sth was submitted etc.) or participation
      • generation of next years lists via conference series (e.g., if RuleML 2008 was interesting for submission in 2008, the 2009 event could be copied to the submission list for 2009)
    • benefits over personal solutions
      • information is updated by all
      • available in RDF

For Conference Organizers

  • CfP generation
    • ideas
      • new workflow for CfPs: add stuff to OpenResearch via Templates, generate a pre-CfP from this, then a final edit; this requires e.g. plain-text export templates (to send CfP mails).
      • if no changes are made to the CfP, one may even record to which lists it should go and send it from OpenResearch; but I don't think this will be adopted soon.
