I-Vocab

The i-Vocab file hierarchy is an idiosyncratic vocabulary stream for authors over time which attempts to be a "fingerprint" of the author, both by individual author, workpiece, and date. First pass is to use common OCR engine and generate vocabulary file for author, article/book/thesis, noting date of creation. This generates i-Vocab base dict, which is not changed. http://www.nidus.org/iv.php

Idiosyncratic Vocabulary Metafile Specification

If I were three people, I would get to work on it! by orthomentor Jan 29

Indexing vocabularies, glossaries, subject headings

One thing about writing RDF vocabularies that occurred to me listening to people talk at VoCamps (Oxford and Galway), is that typically what you are trying to do isn’t defining new terms, it’s modeling data , and at some stage in the modeling you discover you need to write a new vocabulary. Vocabulary authors often want to describe how their terms can best be used with existing complimentary vocabularies, like FOAF and Dublin Core, but the only commonly practiced way of doing so is to put it in human-readable form in the documentation annotations. In voiD , we wrote a guide , principally because we wanted to describe how the terms ought to be used together with existing vocabulary terms.

Ontologies and Vocabularies

WordNet® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser . http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/

http://metadataregistry.org/ This is the home page for the Open Metadata Registry (formerly the NSDL Registry). The Metadata Registry provides services to developers and consumers of controlled vocabularies and is one of the first production deployments of the RDF-based Semantic Web Community's Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) If you just want to experiment and play around a bit, go on over to the Metadata Registry Sandbox . The code is exactly the same, but it's using a non-production database. (Please be careful not to kick any sand out of the box) NOTE: The sandbox has its own domain now.

This is the official Web site for the UMBEL Vocabulary and Reference Concept Ontology (namespace: umbel ). UMBEL is the Upper Mapping and Binding Exchange Layer , designed to help content interoperate on the Web. UMBEL provides two valuable functions: First, it is a broad, general reference structure of 25,000 concepts, which provides a scaffolding to link and interoperate other datasets and domain vocabularies, and Second, it is a base vocabulary for the construction of other concept-based domain ontologies, also designed for interoperation.

Relational Exploration and Ontology Learning

http://code.google.com/p/relexo/ RELExO (Relational Exploration for Learning Expressive Ontologies) is a tool for reasoner-aided relational exploration of OWL DL ontologies, that has been developed to support the acquisition and refinement of complex class descriptions.
