Tasks/References for Exemplary Ontologies

Title: References for Exemplary Tasks

Description: Currently, there is no good way for users to enter references with links and information about them. This is really a big deal, references are very important for this catalogue to be useful. Needs to have a solution that allows entering text as well as a link and to have them in a nice table. May also want a longer text description than a link name. May want a reference type too.

We can give the possibility to add references in the following way:

  1. Category:WebReference
    • Property:ReferenceLabel
    • Property:ReferenceType (enumeration?)
      • Project web site
      • OWL/RDF ontology
      • Others?
    • Property:ReferenceDescription
  2. Then, we can give the possiblity to add references to:
    • Patterns
    • Exemplary ontologies
    • Modeling issues
    • Domains

The workflow ca be:

  • from any page a button/link is provided 'add a reference'
  • the form for a web reference is presented (the previous page is automatically setup as subject of the reference)
  • the user enter data and creates the reference
  • all references are automatically listed at the bottom of the page

This is close to what we want. I propose the following changes:

  1. There should not be a distinction between a WebReference and Other reference. Instead
    1. just have one kind of reference
    2. have an optional URL field in the case of it being a web reference.
    3. in the case of a non-web reference, everything that is needed will be in the ReferenceDescription (e.g. a reference for a paper in a conference proceedings). Often papers have URLs too the .pdf.
  2. Having OWL/RDF Ontology as a type of reference will be redundant for patterns and exemplary ontologies, and modeling issues where there already are properties for this (e.g. OWLImplemntation and OntologyURI). For types of references, I think having OWL/RDF Ontology is unnecessary. We already have properties for things called OWLImplementation, and OntologyURI. I'm not sure we need a type for ontology at all.
  3. The types of references will therefore include:
    1. Project Home Page (instead of Project Web Site - small difference)
    2. Documentation
    3. Wiki
    4. Discussion Forum (e.g. a link to a discussion thread)
    5. Personal Communication (this may not be necessary, may not get much use)
    6. Other
  4. Have a "Add Another Reference Type" button, in case there is a commonly occurring option missed.
