[ontolex] towards the next v2 release

Dear Ontolex CG members,

This email is to inform about some recent progress towards an Ontolex v2
specification. Recently, John McCrae and myself met at University of Galway
and did an extensive review of the open issues and requirements, in
preparation for the next community group meeting that will take place in
September. This is a summary:
- We merged all the requirements (terminology, lexicography, ...) in a
single list and assigned unique identifiers. See
https://github.com/ontolex/ontolex/blob/master/notes/requirements_all.md
- We opened issues for all the requirements and added comments with
possible ways to address them. Some of them contain code examples. Please
go through them and feel free to complete with further ideas or examples.
All this info will serve as a basis for discussion in our next plenary
meeting in September. You can find the list of issues for this release at
https://github.com/ontolex/ontolex/milestone/1
- We discussed the possibility of keeping the lexicog
<https://www.w3.org/2019/09/lexicog/> module: (i) as it is, or (ii)
partially merge it into the core of ontolex (i.e., moving the
'restrictedTo' and 'usage Example' properties into the ontolex namespace),
or (iii) completely move it into ontolex core (all the classes and
properties). Maybe you need more time and reflection to support one idea or
another, but if you already have an opinion, you can express it by voting
through this issue <https://github.com/ontolex/ontolex/issues/62>
- Also, please start thinking on the pros/cons of having all the modules
described in a single specification document (that includes frac and morph)
or in separate ones. We can take a decision on this also in the next plenary


Best regards,

Jorge Gracia
