Dear all, hereby I would like to introduce an environment we created to facilitate collaborative vocabulary development: VoCol. The idea is basically to enable collaboration between domain experts and knowledge engineers in large vocabulary development efforts. On the front-end, domain experts can contribute using a plain-vanilla web browser, while at the back-end, as many tasks as possible are automated. For example: GitHub is used for version management and issue tracking, rapper for validating the new versions and if possible, a new vocabulary is published in a human-friendly (schemaorg) and machine-comprehensible version. Yet, any module can be exchanged or removed at any time if necessary. We are currently using this environment for the development of a mobility vocabulary (MobiVoc) and are planning to employ it in two other initiatives in the near future. Since it is only our first version, we are happy for any kind of feedback! Tool description paper: https://zenodo.org/record/15023 VoCol on Github: https://github.com/mobivoc/vocol Used in the following project: - MobiVoc homepage: http://www.mobivoc.org/en/index.html - Vocabulary repository: https://github.com/mobivoc/mobivoc/ - Issues tracking example: https://github.com/mobivoc/mobivoc/labels/syntax%20error - Generated vocabulary: http://ok-mobivoc.iais.fraunhofer.de/docs/schemas.html Best regards, the VoCol development team -- Niklas Petersen, Organized Knowledge Group @Fraunhofer IAIS, Enterprise Information Systems Group @University of Bonn.
