[ontoiop-forum] OntoIOp teleconference (n.71): Mon 2015.01.12

[Christian Galinski]

Dear Till, dear all,

First of all I would like to wish you on behalf of Infoterm and ISO/TC 37 a
healthy, happy and successful 2015.

I am really pleased that the OntoIOp standard is making such a good
progress. As numerous repositories of structured content are either in some
or the other ontology format, many others could be converted into ontology
formats, OntoIOp will be a very important means for achieving data
integration and content interoperability.

Last year NIH launched a request for information on data-related standards
and standards-based data in the field of biomedicine. I assume that the same
need for data integration will arise in any field in connection with Big
Data and the Internet of Things. See excerpt from the request below.

Best regards
Christian



Quote from the request:
“Modern biomedical research generates huge volumes of heterogeneous data
through a worldwide network of organizations. Extracting, storing,
analyzing, sharing, harmonizing, and integrating the data are critical but
present many challenges. The use of data-related standards is the first step
in ensuring that data can be shared and understood. Standards applied to
data facilitate the flow of data between various data resources. They
provide a well-defined syntax along with semantics and definitions for
methods, protocols, terminologies, common data elements, and specifications
for the collection, exchange, storage, and retrieval of information
associated with these data. The selection of a particular data-related
standard determines whether and how data may be shared, integrated, and/or
transformed into another format for use with other specific data, tools, and
resources. In the past, standards for biomedical data were often selected
without consideration of issues beyond those related to interacting with
nearby systems and/or storing for legacy purposes. Now, data frequently need
to be shared much more widely or reused for other purposes including data
integration."
Needless to mention, such standards-based data (some of them multilingual)
could be used for language technology (LT) and other communication
applications. The data-related standards contain the rules guaranteeing a
high degree of reliability of data.

Dear Maria, dear all,

generally, there has been agreemet that this is a useful draft; the only
problematic point being the semantics of UML class diagrams in relation to
fUML.
For the latter point, it will be useful to have a look a a paper by Ed
Seidewitz, where he describes the intended semantics of UML class diagrams
with FOL formulas (based on examples).

All the best,
Till
