Mapping Lucid Characters to Prometheus

Hi Kevin
looking over the character lists you use for keys I would say that they can
all be expressed by decomposing into a number of atomic statements ( our
angiosperm ontology has not yet included some of the structures and states
required, but this is not a problem as the terminology is readily
expandable) - i have briefly outlined the sort of mapping that is done in
the table below,
(note - i am not a botanist...so there may be some gaffs ;-).
The approach that we are proposing is that the descriptions are collected as
atomic statements, and more traditional 'characters' can be discovered by
analysis of this data (many characters are apparently a collection of atomic
scores/states)
Our taxonomists find this quite a departure from how they compose and record
their characters at the moment ( they recognize/discover and define a set of
characters by looking at the variation that exists in their specimen, then
create a scoring sheet/proforma that allows them to pick one of these
alternative characters) - our system might be tweaked to allow them to work
in a more character oriented manner if they precompose sets of statements as
part of the proforma specification, and then score these alternates as
present or absent.
a major advantage of our system can be seen from some of your simple
characters - eg growth habit: you have split this into two alternatives 1.
Epiphytic or lithophytic habit vs 2. (not epiphytic or lithophytic) whilst
this might make sense for a key, and is a DELTA-like representation, we
would argue that if the ACTUAL growth habit was scored for each specimen as
epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial, aquatic ( or concatenations of these )
far more accurate information would be recorded. For example, this would
allow the same specimen description to be divided into other character sets
if desired ( someone else may think that a key would work better if the
alternates were soildwelling or lithophytic vs epiphytic, another person
might want the alternates separately....if the description data had been
recorded in the orginal two-alternate-character division, this data reuse
would not be possible.
I hope this shows some of the salient features of our model...and how we
think it would beneft working taxonomists.

STATES
Salt tolerance
· plants tolerating high salt levels (halophytes)
· plants not salt tolerant
Entire Plant
Ecological Adaptations
Halophytic
(there are a list of alternate states that could be scored, or
NOT-halophytic is allowed)
General habit

Entire Plant
Habit
Tree, Shrub, Herb etc.are scorable (or the negative)
Entire Plant
Architecture
Climbing, Bushy, creeper, Twining etc
We can collect more specific data by scoring more states for additional
properties
Epiphytic or lithophytic habit
· plants growing in soil (not epiphytic or lithophytic)
· plants growing on other plants or on bare rock surfaces
(epiphytic or
· lithophytic)
Entire Plant
Preferred Substrate
Epiphytic, Aquatic, Lithophytic, Terrestrial
Habit (aquatic herbs only)
· free-floating
· rooted in substrate with leaves all or mostly submerged
· rooted in substrate with leaves mostly floating on the water
surface
· rooted in substrate with leaves mostly emergent above the water
surface
Root
Root attachment
free-floating, substrate-attached
we don't have appropriate terms etc for thes states in our ontology as yet -
but they could be added
Leaf
Aquatic Position
floating, submerged,
emergent
Seasonal longevity
· annual, biennial or ephemeral
· perennial
Entire Plant
Lifespan
Annual, Biennial, ephemeral, perrenial
Seasonality of leaves (woody plants)

· deciduous or semi-deciduous
Leaf
Lifespan
deciduous, semi d., evergreen
Structures for spreading vegetatively
· none (plants not spreading vegetatively)
· underground bulbs, corms or tubers etc
· rhizomes, stolons or root-suckers
· detached aerial stem parts, or proliferous flowerheads

we can identify 'types' of structures, ith associated sets of states,
(aerial stem parts migh be a type of stem)
Chlorophyll in stems or leaves
· present (plants green or grey-green)
· absent (plants colourless, white or yellowish)
Leaf-Cholorphyll
Presence
present, absent
uses our structure hierarchy to identify which chlorophyll we are describing
Stem-Chlorophyll
Presence
present, absent
Entire Plant
Colour
specify any colour
Nutritional strategy
· neither carnivorous nor parasitic (normal plants)
· partially or totally parasitic on other plants
· carnivorous
Entire Plant
Habit-Lifestyle
carnivorous, parasite, partial parasite, etc
any combination of states including NOT can be allowed
Trap structures (carnivorous plants only)
· submerged or underground bladders
· pitcher-traps
· sticky glands or glandular hairs on leaves and/or stems
· trap like irritable leaf blade segments
We haven't had to address trap yet but we have anumber of ways in which the
terminology can be expanded to represent this information....
· we don't have 'trap' as a structure in our ontology yet - we
could add trap structure in various structural contexts, and allow scoring
presence or absence.
· we can add the presence of hairs or glandular hairs anywhere -
and again score presence/absence
· we would have to add some stes to the ontology - e.g irritable

'characters' can be discovered by analysis of this data (many characters are
apparently a collection of atomic scores/states)<BR><BR>Our taxonomists find
this quite a departure from how they compose and record their characters at the
moment ( they recognize/discover and define a set of characters by looking at
the variation that exists in their specimen, then create a scoring
sheet/proforma that allows them to pick one of these alternative
characters) - our system might be tweaked to allow them to work in a more
character oriented manner if they precompose sets of statements as part of the
proforma specification, and then score these alternates as present or
absent.<BR><BR>a major advantage of our system can be seen from some of your
simple characters - eg growth habit: you have split this into two alternatives
1. Epiphytic or lithophytic habit vs 2. (not epiphytic or lithophytic)
whilst this might make sense for a key, and is a DELTA-like representation, we
would argue that if the ACTUAL growth habit was scored for each specimen as
epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial, aquatic ( or concatenations of these
) far more accurate information would be recorded. For example, this would allow
the same specimen description to be divided into other character sets if desired
( someone else may think that a key would work better if the alternates were
soildwelling or lithophytic vs epiphytic, another person might want the
alternates separately....if the description data had been recorded in the
orginal two-alternate-character division, this data reuse would not be
possible.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>

in<BR>>>>favour of a<BR>>>>more general, simple
character-state model (such as DELTA<BR>>>>had; with
the<BR>>>>extension that characters may optionally be arranged into
character<BR>>>>hierarchies).<BR>>>><BR>>>>For
instance, in an interactive key that I published a few<BR>>>>years ago
(The<BR>>>>Families of Flowering Plants of Australia, in Lucid), I
have<BR>>>>(amongst many<BR>>>>others) the following

is whether your data *model* (the part-structure<BR>>>>stuff) would

represent you part-structure stuff in a<BR>>>>character hierarchy, and
assume after roundtripping that the<BR>>>>hierarchy
you<BR>>>>get back can still be interpreted in the same way. That
is,<BR>>>>you would need<BR>>>>to check whether the hierarchy
you receive conforms with<BR>>>>your model (and
I<BR>>>>suppose reject it if it does
not).<BR>>>><BR>>>>Cheers -

previous post from me with this title was
an<BR>>>>unfinished<BR>>>>version sent off prematurely by my
email editor. Please<BR>>>>ignore and use this<BR>>>>one

Trevor - thanks very much for your comments and<BR>>>>comparative
document -<BR>>>>this is really useful, and we need to get much more
feedback<BR>>>>like this.<BR>>>><BR>>>>The main
difference between SDD and Prometheus seems to be<BR>>>>that you
are<BR>>>>working specifically on the basis of defining a
controlled<BR>>>>terminology<BR>>>>whereas SDD explicitly
decided early on that a controlled<BR>>>>terminology
was<BR>>>>outside our scope. History will judge which approach is
best.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>a controlled terminology
was not such a large feature of our work<BR>>>>initially - we were more
interested in the model for
saving<BR>>>>'character'<BR>>>>data - however it became
obvious that the only way to
allow<BR>>>>unambiguous<BR>>>>interpretation of data -
for reuse, comparison etc - was to<BR>>>>provide
full<BR>>>>definitions. it then seemed desirable that people
would<BR>>>>share definitions to<BR>>>>allow
compatability.......whether this will be achieved by bottom
up<BR>>>>adoption is an open question. Taxonomists don seem to
like<BR>>>>the idea of top<BR>>>>down imposition - tho they
may be happier when it is<BR>>>>restricted to quite
a<BR>>>>small domain of users<BR>>>><BR>>>>We did
have early discussions about a controlled terminology<BR>>>>(see the
list<BR>>>>archives for a history of this).One dificulty for us is
that<BR>>>>SDD is designed<BR>>>>to be biology-wide (indeed,
we have even removed specific<BR>>>>references
to<BR>>>>biology, such as "taxon", because SDD is equally
applicable<BR>>>>to descriptions<BR>>>>of non-taxa such as
diseases, nutrient deficiency syndromes,<BR>>>>soils
and<BR>>>>minerals. Perhaps here we have drawn our bow too wide,
but<BR>>>>we were informed<BR>>>>by the fact that at our
Lisbon meeting all but one of the<BR>>>>contributors
who<BR>>>>were working with identification tools had removed
their<BR>>>>biology-specific<BR>>>>tags to become more
general). Prometheus (as I understand it<BR>>>>from
your<BR>>>>document) is specifically botanical. This would be an
intolerable<BR>>>>restriction for us given our
brief.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>We are constrained by
the expertise of whoever we are<BR>>>>collaborating
with...<BR>>>>the taxonomists at RBGE are full partners in this project
so<BR>>>>the 'test<BR>>>>domains' reflect their
interests and expertise ( or we will<BR>>>>never get
real<BR>>>>test data). We hope that our character model will
be<BR>>>>applicable to the whole<BR>>>>field of biological
taxonomy - - and that
specific<BR>>>>ontologies/terminologies<BR>>>>could be
developed to allow description of other groups (<BR>>>>mammals,
insects<BR>>>>etc)<BR>>>><BR>>>>Obviously, a
botany-wide controlled terminology is more<BR>>>>achievable than
a<BR>>>>biology-wide one. Personally, however, I think that you
run<BR>>>>the danger even<BR>>>>in botany with any controlled
terminology of trying to force<BR>>>>nature kicking<BR>>>>and
screaming into small boxes, and do it an injustice<BR>>>>therewith. I
don't<BR>>>>know how any botany-wide controlled terminology could
cope<BR>>>>with the leaves<BR>>>>of Drosera auriculata, for
instance, or the morphology of<BR>>>>Podostemaceae.
(In<BR>>>>fact, I wonder whether the dream of a controlled
terminology<BR>>>>is more likely<BR>>>>in a cold Northern
Hemisphere climate than in the biodiverse South
or<BR>>>>tropics?).<BR>>>>[Paterson,
Trevor]<BR>>>>Yes - we know that diverse taxa would probably
require<BR>>>>specific ontologies.<BR>>>>We may be able to
develope a system that allows a core<BR>>>>central terminology
-<BR>>>>with taxon specific extensions.....We want to
allow<BR>>>>MEANINGFUL comparison<BR>>>>of data - and
often there is no need or sense in comparing<BR>>>>data
across<BR>>>>widely divergent taxa ie you would might want to
compare<BR>>>>the properties of<BR>>>>stalks on angiosperm
flowers, but it is probably of no<BR>>>>taxonomic interest
to<BR>>>>compare these with the stalks of a slime mould
fruiting<BR>>>>body...............<BR>>>><BR>>>>In
general, we have taken the view that a controlled terminology
in<BR>>>>particular domains (e.g. legumes) may develop as an
emergent<BR>>>>property of<BR>>>>SDD, rather than imposed
top-down.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>Yes - this is
the working model we have come round<BR>>>>to...users develope
an<BR>>>>ontology and share it with colleagues in a closely
related<BR>>>>field etc....<BR>>>><BR>>>>On more
specific points from your document:<BR>>>><BR>>>>Complexity:
SDD was scoped to be a superset of existing systems and<BR>>>>standards
e.g. DELTA, Lucid, DeltaAcess, and also to<BR>>>>accommodate
future<BR>>>>developments that those of us working in the field
can<BR>>>>envisage but no-one's<BR>>>>really done yet
(particularly federation issues - and you<BR>>>>may be
further<BR>>>>down this track than we are). This is part of the reason
for<BR>>>>the complexity,<BR>>>><BR>>>>>It is not
clear to me whether SDD is proposing this schema as<BR>>>>>a
unifying schema to which different description formats<BR>>>>would map
their<BR>>>>own schema<BR>>>>>or<BR>>>>>whether
the SDD schema is being proposed as a schema for<BR>>>>developers
to<BR>>>>(partially) implement when designing
applications<BR>>>>>and repositories for capturing descriptive
data.<BR>>>><BR>>>>It is designed as a unifying standard, to
allow lossless<BR>>>>roundtripping<BR>>>>between applications.
At the same time, we are struggling<BR>>>>with how
much<BR>>>>should be mandatory and how much optional (your second
option)<BR>>>><BR>>>>>From our own collaborative
experiences with botanical<BR>>>>taxonomists,
data<BR>>>>models and structures hold no interest to them
in<BR>>>>>practice, and they find even our simple conceptual model
of<BR>>>>character<BR>>>>description complex to understand.
Probably few working<BR>>>>>taxonomists would wish to interact at
any level with the<BR>>>>SDD schema and<BR>>>>applications
would have to achieve this
mapping<BR>>>>>transparently.<BR>>>><BR>>>>On this
I'm sure you're right, and we have had many<BR>>>>discussions within
SDD<BR>>>>about this problem. There are differing views as to the
importance of<BR>>>>taxonomists themselves coming to grips with SDD, as
the<BR>>>>standard itself will<BR>>>>generally be invisible to
a taxonomist using an<BR>>>>SDD-compliant
application.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>The problem is
that someone has to write and implement the<BR>>>>applications
(<BR>>>>e.g. me !) - and they have to do this in collaboration
with<BR>>>>taxonomists - or<BR>>>>it will be perceived as an
irrelevant imposition -<BR>>>>-therefore it will
always<BR>>>>be necessary to get at least some taxonomists from
a<BR>>>>variety of fields to<BR>>>>understand the
schema...<BR>>>>From my perspective actually it seems much easier
for<BR>>>>computer scientists to<BR>>>>get to grips with
taxonomy rather than vice versa - (<BR>>>>although
taxonmists<BR>>>>would be a bit defensive about
this....)<BR>>>><BR>>>>Translation and multiple language
representations: allowing multiple<BR>>>>languages is seen as a
fundamental part of the SDD brief.<BR>>>>Life would
indeed<BR>>>>be much simpler if everyone spoke the same language,
but<BR>>>>they don't so we<BR>>>>need to handle
that.<BR>>>><BR>>>>>It is not clear whether SDD proposes
that a single document<BR>>>>can include<BR>>>>multiple
language representations, or whether these<BR>>>>>would form
separate documents, conforming to the same
standard<BR>>>><BR>>>>SDD can handle multiple language
representations of every<BR>>>>character string<BR>>>>within
the one document.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>Still not
convinced allowing multiple language<BR>>>>representations would
mace<BR>>>>for good/accurate
science<BR>>>><BR>>>>Multiple expertise
levels<BR>>>><BR>>>>>I am similarly suspicious of the
necessity for including<BR>>>>the ability for<BR>>>>recording
different expertise levels in one document format.<BR>>>>>Is SDD
proposing/allowing multiple representations within<BR>>>>the same
document<BR>>>>: or just that the same format/standard can
be<BR>>>>>used for documents aimed at different expertise
level.<BR>>>>><BR>>>>>There clearly is value in being
able to extract/translate<BR>>>>simple
language<BR>>>>descriptions from complex data resources - as
is<BR>>>>>necessary for compiling flora and keys from monographs and
original<BR>>>>descriptions. However, is including the ability to
describe<BR>>>>>descriptive data in language suitable for
primary<BR>>>>schoolchildren relevant<BR>>>>to an accurate
scientific database of taxonomic data.<BR>>>>>[Again this would
appear to be a political requirement??]<BR>>>><BR>>>>This is
not a political requirement, but an attempt to broaden
the<BR>>>>application of taxonomy beyond taxonomists (surely
a<BR>>>>requirement if the<BR>>>>taxonomic crisis is to be
resolved). It also derives neatly<BR>>>>from the
XML<BR>>>>underpinning (XML is based on the idea of
multiple<BR>>>>representations of a<BR>>>>single
document)<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>Yes I see where you
are coming from - i think the probelm is that<BR>>>>taxonomists are
concerned about accurate representation of<BR>>>>their data
for<BR>>>>their purposes - making a shareable version of this is
not<BR>>>>perceived as of<BR>>>>any value to them - they want
a scientific tool to do their<BR>>>>job - i am not<BR>>>>sure
how /if we could encourage a dual markup approach - or
whether<BR>>>>different 'markets' for descriptive data would exist
independently -<BR>>>><BR>>>>Defining the descriptive
terminology<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Are you suggesting that the SDD
Terminology Section will be<BR>>>>adequate
and<BR>>>>appropriate to store<BR>>>>>and represent any
(allowed) defined terminology?<BR>>>><BR>>>>Yes, we hope so.
Do you think it will be inadequate?<BR>>>>[Paterson,
Trevor]<BR>>>>It probably would be adequate to store
Prometheus<BR>>>>terminologies - with<BR>>>>minor
tinkering, the semantics of the terminolgies could be<BR>>>>saved just
with<BR>>>>glossary entries and relationships etc - but would obviously
require<BR>>>>interpetation by suitable applications. I cant
understand<BR>>>>concept trees well<BR>>>>enough to get a feel
for whether they could store the semantics of a<BR>>>>terminolgy more
explicitly.....<BR>>>>However, that is not to say SDD could cope with
other<BR>>>>terminolgies that<BR>>>>might have further
unforseen relationships - there might need to be a<BR>>>>facility for
recording 'user defined' relationships such as<BR>>>>our
stategroup<BR>>>>membership and restrictions between these and sets
of<BR>>>>structures - i think<BR>>>>that these type of
relationships are representable in<BR>>>>concept trees -
but<BR>>>>would need a primer/ turotial to show me
how.<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Is the standard going to allow
descriptions to reference<BR>>>>other
defined<BR>>>>terminologies?<BR>>>><BR>>>>It will be
possible to outsource the terminology section, so<BR>>>>if a
group<BR>>>>creates a controlled vocabulary, that could be referenced
in<BR>>>>multiple SDD<BR>>>>documents. So presumably
Prometheus could be the source of
a<BR>>>>controlled<BR>>>>vocabulary that other users (of they
found it adequate)<BR>>>>could
reference.<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Would SDD only accept Data marked
up in an SDD terminology?<BR>>>><BR>>>>Yes - or do I
misunderstand this question?<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>If
i understand your previous remark - you could have<BR>>>>completely
external<BR>>>>termnologies - that SDD 'knows' nothing about the
structure<BR>>>>and semantics -<BR>>>>so it would have to
accept 'non-SDD' terminology<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Would existing
terminologies have to be<BR>>>>translated/mapped/redescribed
in<BR>>>>SDD format?<BR>>>><BR>>>>Any existing
terminology can be represented in SDD, so there<BR>>>>will be
no<BR>>>>remapping necessary.<BR>>>>[Paterson,
Trevor]<BR>>>>Again this will only be knowable if people try doing
it.<BR>>>>Obviously if there<BR>>>>is a standard structure
people would be encouraged to use it - but<BR>>>>prexisting description
ontologies ( eg PlantOnology and<BR>>>>GeneOntology)
would<BR>>>>not want to retrofit to the standard....even if there is
no<BR>>>>' rdesign or<BR>>>>remapping necessary - there is the
matter of re-expressing<BR>>>>it in an
SDD<BR>>>>format<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Who is going to
create terminologies, e.g.gusers on an<BR>>>>adhoc basis,
or<BR>>>>expert user groups?<BR>>>><BR>>>>As above,
these may develop particularly for some groups (e.g.
ferns,<BR>>>>legumes), but some users may choose to stay outside such
a<BR>>>>system (there<BR>>>>will be benefits and costs of
using a controlled vocabulary,<BR>>>>so people will<BR>>>>have
to weigh it up for themselves). SDD itself is
agnostic.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>Almost our opinion -
but we are not agnostic - we
believe<BR>>>>'interpretability'<BR>>>>and 'reusability' are
Gods, and we should proselytize on<BR>>>>their behalfs
-<BR>>>>gently of course - by offering only carrots and no
sticks...<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Is it an aim to promote re-use and
sharing of terminologies?<BR>>>><BR>>>>It would be a desirable
outcome, but we hope it evolves<BR>>>>bottom-up
rather<BR>>>>than being imposed top-down.<BR>>>>[Paterson,
Trevor]<BR>>>>Sure<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Is there going to
be policing of SDD terminologies, e.g. maintaining<BR>>>>versioning,
additions etc?<BR>>>><BR>>>>Versioning will be handled within
SDD, but there can be no<BR>>>>possibility of<BR>>>>policing a
system<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>This what really worries
the taxonomists - imposed standards<BR>>>>reducing
the<BR>>>>flexibility and expressivity of their descriptions -
and<BR>>>>hatred of a police<BR>>>>state. I think
standardisation WILL be perceived to lead to a loss
of<BR>>>>expressivity - but as often one person's expressivity is
another'; s<BR>>>>incomprehensivity to an outsider this seems like
potentially<BR>>>>'a good thing'<BR>>>>( in small doses
obviously)........<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>>How was
the terminology section created - by examining examples
of<BR>>>>terminology specifications,<BR>>>>>ontology
representations etc?<BR>>>><BR>>>>We have had a mix of
off-the-top-of-the-head speculation as<BR>>>>to how best
to<BR>>>>do things, and proofing of concepts against
real-world<BR>>>>examples. I would<BR>>>>have liked to see
more proofing going on during development,<BR>>>>but this
has<BR>>>>been hard to maintain, and may be to our cost. We are
nbow<BR>>>>at a phase where<BR>>>>several groups are trting to
implement SDD-compliance for<BR>>>>their systems -<BR>>>>this
will be the proof of the pudding.<BR>>>><BR>>>>Note also that
SDD is currently v0.9 - with the explicit statement on<BR>>>>release
that everything may change if we find that the<BR>>>>proofing
fails.<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Does it form a standard template for
storing a terminology?<BR>>>><BR>>>>What do you mean by this.
It provides the standard schema<BR>>>>for
representing<BR>>>>an (undefined)
terminology.<BR>>>><BR>>>>>Is it compatible with any
existing tools, standards or<BR>>>>formats -
e.g.<BR>>>>ontology editors?<BR>>>><BR>>>>We have
specifically made it very general. There is<BR>>>>currently no
existing<BR>>>>tool that can handle SDD. Hopefull this will change
shortly.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor]<BR>>>>Keep me
posted<BR>>>><BR>>>>----------------------------------<BR>>>>So
does Prometheus have any data yet, or is it still at the<BR>>>>model
stage? It<BR>>>>would be very interesting to try representing
Prometheus data in SDD.<BR>>>>[Paterson, Trevor] to date we
have<BR>>>>the model ( and a data base implementation to save
model<BR>>>>compliant data)<BR>>>>a tool for creating simple
terminologies - with definitions, PartOf,<BR>>>>Typeof,
Stategroup relations etc<BR>>>>a prototype angiosperm
terminology/ontology<BR>>>>a prototype tool for using onologies to
specify project description<BR>>>>templates (
proformas)<BR>>>>which also allows recordng of specimen
descriptions<BR>>>>the ability to save these descriptions to the
database in the model<BR>>>>compliant format<BR>>>>and we are
currently getting user testing done on the<BR>>>>prototype by
the<BR>>>>taxonomists, who are making proformas adn saving
specimen<BR>>>>descriptions. We<BR>>>>are just about ready to
use the tool for a 'real' project if<BR>>>>we can get
time<BR>>>>and interest to do this...eg for a small taxonomic
revision.<BR>>>>We are rapidly<BR>>>>approaching the end of
our project funding however.. so it<BR>>>>may switch
to<BR>>>>being a 'back burner'
project....<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>Cheers

relationship to
Prometheus<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>Gregor<BR>>>><BR>>>>I
have written a rough document considering several aspects of
the<BR>>>>SDD-schema - largely interpreted with reference to
our<BR>>>>Prometheus Database<BR>>>>model for descriptive
data. It seems easier to keep this
all<BR>>>>together,<BR>>>>rather than post it to various
sections on twiki, so i am<BR>>>>attaching it
here<BR>>>><BR>>>>My main problems in interpreting the schema
were the lack of<BR>>>>documentation<BR>>>>( as always...)
especially for the conceptually complex<BR>>>>parts like
concept<BR>>>>trees. I think clear, visual summary models
for<BR>>>>description, characters,<BR>>>>concept trees etc
would help a novice to get to grips with<BR>>>>the concepts,
and<BR>>>>might make some of the complexities more tractable. I
do<BR>>>>worry that the<BR>>>>overall schema is over complex
and 'trying to do too much in<BR>>>>one go' -
eg<BR>>>>considering multiple language and expertise
representations,<BR>>>>although I am<BR>>>>sure that there are
good political reasons for
everything.....<BR>>>><BR>>>>yours<BR>>>>trevor<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>>Trevor
