Dear All,
Thanks for a very helpful discussion on Monday afternoon. I have put
onto paper my thoughts on the integration of ORB, DoCO and Anita's
proposed medium-grained Document Rhetoric Ontology, attached as a PDF
containing some illustrative examples from papers. I hope this will
stimulate discussion, and can be used as a basis for further development.
As far as DoCO is concerned, the attached paper supplements the DoCO
architecture diagram (http://bit.ly/b383VR) and the marked-up journal
article examples (http://bit.ly/d0VhJr) previously sent. Following
suggestions from Philippe, we have today extended DoCO to handle text
chunks dealing with accession numbers and supplementary information. We
added a new subclass to /doco:RhetoricalComponent /
*/doco:ExternalResourceDescription/* "Information describing an
external resource and including a reference to that resource."
which has two sub-classes
/*doco:DatasetDescription* "/Information describing a dataset
held in an external database or repository and including a
reference to it, such as a database ID or an accession number."
and
*/doco:SupplementaryInformationDescription/* "Information
describing supplementary information relating to the document,
including references or links to the relevant supplementary
information."
These can be used to provide the appropriate rhetorical description for
a section of text, located either in the body of the document or in the
back matter. The word "description" is included in these class names to
clarify the fact that these are textual descriptions /about /those
resources, not the resources themselves.
The enhanced version of DoCO is available at http://purl.org/spar/doco/.
I hope I have included as recipients of this message all those who
participated in Monday's call, but if I have omitted anyone, please
forward this to them. Thanks.
Kind regards,
David

> 1. Recap goals and use cases for the Rhetorical Document Model Subtask:
>
> * Coarse-grained model: [http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/3]
> * Medium-grained model: [http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/2]
> * Fine-grained model: [http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/1]
>
> 2. ORB progress: [http://esw.w3.org/images/d/d2/Orb-0_1.owl]
>
> 3. Medium-grained progress: first pass at [http://esw.w3.org/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/models/medium], very much open for discussion.
>
> 3. David Shotton and group: DoCo status (http://opencitations.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/introducing-the-semantic-publishing-and-referencing-spar-ontologies/), overlap with ORB.
