thanks - of course i am prejudiced but i like the wines for a few reasons - - it has been used for over a decade to explain description logics from the 1991 how and when to use a description logic system [1] - it is the basis of a tutorial on description logics with 6 assignments for lisp classic [2] and neo classic [3], this is aimed at college or low level graduate students - it is the basis of a tutorial on how to do ontological modeling (more aimed at protege than other systems but the paper attempted to be generic. the paper is "ontology 101" ) [4] - i and a few colleagues have just used it to do another very simple intro by example to daml+oil (in final copy editing stages - i can post a link in probably a week) also, i can probably come up with "naturally occuring" examples in wines to cover most examples we might want to show off.... and then again... it may provide a reason for us all to go wine tasting to extend the ontology :-) [1] http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/papers/living-with-classic-abstract.html [2] http://www.bell-labs.com/project/classic/papers/ClassTut/ClassTut.html and [3] http://www.bell-labs.com/project/classic/papers/NeoTut/NeoTut.html [4] http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/papers/ontology-tutorial-noy-mcguinness-abstract.html deborah "Smith, Michael K" wrote: > The following members of the WG have volunteered to work on the Guide > document with me. > > Deborah McGuinness > Raphael Volz > Chris Welty > Lynn Andrea Stein (depending on scheduling) > > Attached is a skeleton Guide document with an outline and some preliminary > text, including sentence fragments and bits of OWL.
