"Jonathan,
thanks a lot for your email!
I've a couple of clarification questions:
>REQUIREMENTS FOR A WEB ONTOLOGY LANGUAGE?
>Consideration for:
> - representation and use of ontologies across different service domains
Could you elaborate on the requirements?
> - distributed location of ontologies across the Internet
So a requirement would be that a) Ontologies have a unique identifier (aka URL)
and 2) Ontologies may reference each other?
Could you provide a small, concrete example where this is required?
Maybe even how this could be achieved?
> - potentially different ontology representations for each ontology
>(ontology translation)
What requirements does this pose?
Could you give small examples?
> - simple ontology representation, but with capabilities to support
>planning
What primitives are needed to support planning?
Could you provide an example? In a pseudo ontology language?
What does simple mean?
Thanks and all the best,
Stefan
