review of Research Drivers document

This is a review of -

http://web.mit.edu/simile/www/resources/SIMILE%20Research%20Drivers%200.24.htm

http://web.mit.edu/simile/www/resources/issues.html gives place holders
to some of my comments, the following are a few more - 


In general

s/semantic web/Semantic Web/

s/web/Web/


Specific sections

1.2

s/relationship between/relationship among/

2.3

I'd add a patron/end-user perspective in terms of navigating, accessing
information in the challenges section.

2.4

(the first sentence is in fact not one)

hmm... seems like the first sentence in each paragraph in this section
is a sub-point. As its currently formated this is confusing.

3.1 

Formatting of this section makes it difficult to read and comment
effectively.

I'd a more general notion of annotation to be considered. Human yes, but
machine as well. This would tie in with section 4.8 in the
data-mining/medline section.


3.2.1 

suggested title change from s/Instance Validation/Semantic Validation

3.2.2

Formatting of this section makes it difficult to read and comment
effectively

suggest s/Dublin Core/IMS/ as its more appropriate of an example in this
context

3.2.3

I think its important to make the point clearer the option that one new
schemas are created, the option (and strong recommendation) it to relate
where appropriate new terms to existing.

3.2.4

The Dublin Core Initiative has indeed agreed upon a set of formal and
agreed upon relationships for relating resources

http://dublincore.org/dcregistry/detailServlet?reqType=detail&item=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Felements%2F1.1%2Frelation

btw... this service is one of several examples that are identified in
section 4.4

the point being made in the paragraph is an important one, but the
specific example is not correct.

3.2.7

This is an important section but current version needs to be flushed out
a bit.

3.2.8

I don't understand the goal for distinguishing between type and class.
please elaborate or strike.

3.5

This is an important section but current version needs to be flushed out
a bit.

4.3.1

I'm willing to help sponsor this

Additionally I see this being an example of a distributed, decentralized
service.

4.4

Suggest integrating RDF harvesting techniques (e.g.
http://rdfschema.info/)

4.6

I'm willing to help sponsor this

4.9 

I think of this similar to section 4.2 (and examples of a larger
collection description/management section?)
