I can't find the HTML list of terms which makes me sad.

Also telling people to download protoge to use the schema is a douch
move and will put off many people who just wanted to get started with
it. http://bibliontology.com/specification#sec-documentation

There is none right now. What we should look at is a good (?) OWL
documentation generator. However, I haven't done any research on these
tools in the last year or two, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

Fred

Maybe this list helps:

http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/1087/generating-documentation-from-rdfs-andor-owl-vocabularies?page=1&focusedAnswerId=10932#10932

I once added LODE, which is not ideal, since it works and depends on the XML serialisation as it comes from the OWL-API, but for an XSLT-based approach it works quite well. We currently use it here to document our ontologies (with some extensions to it for displaying some skos terms a bit nicer): e.g.: http://purl.org/viso/graphic/

The list on semanticweb.com could certainly be triggered again, not sure whether there are better approaches now, maybe even based on Fresnel not XSLT.

Best,
Jan

The "douche" language is a bit over-the-top Christopher.

But on the substance, what about a simple static generator like
OWLDoc, and then dumping the output to github pages?

Nevermind on OWLDoc specifically; was hoping for something that could
be scripted from the commandline.

Thanks for looking at it-- without a quick reference I find it very hard
to use a vocab.

We could do worse than loading it into neologism and using that to
generate HTML, it's not perfect but it is easy. eg.
http://neologism.ecs.soton.ac.uk/oo

If nobody else has time/inclination I can install bibo into our
neologism install as a stop gap.

Would have to dump elsewhere (like on bibliontology.com) since you
cannot modify the content type of the documents on github (that is what
we were doing on Google SVN).

I thought that OWLDOC was dead with only version for Prot�g� 3.X,
however it looks like its development continued:

http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/OWLDoc

So it may worth a try

Thanks,


Fred

sorry. I have a chip on my shoulder about both vocabularies with no HTML
reference, and protoge.

I was in the process of demoing bibo as a good example of an established
and documented vocabulary, hence my frustration.

I was forgetting about SpecGen:

https://bitbucket.org/wikier/specgen/wiki/Home

Also related other projects on that page.


Thanks,

Hi all,

please also consider Parrot [1,2], which is (from my point of view) the
best ontology specification generation tool so far out there, and the
(intended to be) central repo for SpecGen [3].

Cheers,


Bo
