I read the document and i really enjoyed. Nice work. One comment: Under Q4. How should the RDF representation be mapped to global ontologies or reference terminologies? In relation to MIREOT: it may be worth to mention Ontofox ( http://ontofox.hegroup.org/) as a reference implementation of the

Hi, probably there is not much difference. But with Semantic Web data, insight into the structure of data is more of a key, as you don't have "schemas". If I query a database, I would look at tables to understand a structure. If I look a at a Semantic Web knowledge base, perhaps visualization is

Regarding visualisation of Linked Data, it should be avoided to fall victim to what was called "the pathetic fallacy of RDF" in one publication [1], i.e., visualising RDF data as graphs because the underlying datamodel is a graph, not because the use-case at hand requires this kind of visualisat

Speaking of Publishing, over the weekend, I noticed that the Country Codes and subdivision codes (US&Canada) in "Citing Medicine"[1] are a bit out of date.  I can supply you with an ISO 3166 concordance, but you'll also want to address the issue of "terminology" languages[3] and "bibliographic"

hi david and scott, from my understanding, the common usage is a bit more confusing. good old wikipedia has: " The terms a priori ("from the earlier") and a posteriori ("from the later") are used in philosophy (epistemology) to distinguish two types of knowledge, justifications or arguments. A p

Michel, A task force on visualization is a great idea. And it would make sense to have it aimed at and work with helping each of the other task forces utilize visualization capabilities. It's something I've been thinking about with respect to the work we did on the TMO/TMKB. How do we demonst
