I've got a couple of projects literally on the doorstep, both involving real-world objects, both of which the computer should be able to help with. One is fixing up a house interior (walls & roof ok, the rest isn't far from scratch), the other an electric guitar. I think it's a fair assumption that a CAD tool will be useful in both cases for the diagrams. But there's a lot of other significant data associated with each, e.g. wood inventory for the stairs, payment schedules for anyone we have to employ, the cost of the pickups I declare to my wife. Does anyone happen to know of any software that could do the CAD part, and allow the rest? Ideal features: * compatibility with industry standard tools (I'm guessing that means AutoCAD's format) * support for XML diagram format(s) - SVG etc. * annotatibility (the cellar walls really must have URIs) * open source (so I can compensate for woodworm) I haven't properly started looking for appropriate vocabularies, I'm rather hoping perhaps Cyc might help there, I really don't want to drop into any specialist building and/or guitar industry xsd (really!). Quite happy to make up local terms where necessary. I did find a page for PartWhole [1] on the ESW Wiki which includes a link to cyc:part, but alas the link 404s. Pointers to potentially useful vocabs appreciated. I don't really expect anything from the RDF beyond structured note-taking, but do hope to get some clue from this about how to rescue the project vocabulary [2] I left in limbo. Cheers, Danny.
