For the time being, I have uploaded the JPEG and GIF versions of the Ontology in
UML.

Many thanks, Vipul.

 

I think this is a nice, concrete start and will certainly provide a solid
foundation for discussion as we move forward - as will the Design Issues page
you've created.

 

If it's OK, I'd like to make a small request re: the UML file.  I see MS has
created an XMI export feature for Visio
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3DD3F3BE-656D-4830-A86
8-D0044406F57D&displaylang=en).  Would it be possible for you to export the UML
from Visio in XMI format?  This way I'll be able to use one of several open
source modeling tools that use XMI as there persistence file format.  I assume
I'm not the only one on the list without a copy of Visio on hand.  I expect
there may be some associations that don't translate perfectly, but as it now
stands, I'm not able to take advantage of the fruit's of your labor.  As a side
note, I often provide a PNG version when distributing models, just so others who
either don't have the tools or the knowledge of how to use open source
equivalents can at least view the model in a web browser.

 

Many thanks again.  I think it will be immensely helpful to have made this
concrete step forward.  It also provides the BioRDF WG an opportunity to comment
on how this ontology will mesh with the requirements they've been identifying
for the Parkinsonian Syndrome-related data sources.

 

Cheers,

Bill
