[oor-forum] Re-implementation of Ontohub - feedback welcome

[Till Mossakowski]

Dear OOR community,

there has been some feedback on the new Ontohub architecture at
https://gist.github.com/tillmo/dc97c81e7bef75cbe93b85a0a1153d8e
Many thanks!

Since this gist page unfortunately does not send out notifications on 
new entries, I suggest to continue the discussion on this email list.

Basically, there are several issues and suggestions:
1) use of git as backend, instead of some CMS. Currently, we are inclied 
to stay with git, since it is quite popular and also used by COLORE. 
Note that does *not* mean use of github! An alternative suggestion is 
the use of a CMS (possible attractive features being social software 
features and support for workflows). Do you know a suitable candidate? 
It should support version control. I would be interested in what the 
differences between this version control and git are. Maybe there is 
even a CMS with git version control?
2) re-use of NCBO technology. Here, the question is: how much is the 
NCBO technology tied to OWL?
3) use of Ruby on Rails as backend. Here, the main argument is the 
possible re-use of existing Ontohub code and programming skills. 
However, note that Ruby on Rails has a much smaller role, because we 
intend to use ember.js (written in Javascript) for the frontend. Are 
there specific alternative suggestions?

Further comments and suggestions are welcome!

All the best,
Till
