RE: [alf-dev] Project Context

["Brian Carroll" <BCarroll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Glenn,

Actually ALF is interested in RDF and OWL.  Within a couple of days, you
will find a document posted to the ALF website (eclipse.org/alf) titled:
"ALF Vocabularies Framework".  That document describes how we envision
organizing the vocabularies for ALF as we organize groups of interested
vendors and consumers to define those vocabularies.

We are planning to use WSDL and XML Schema as the formal definition of
those ALF vocabularies, augmented by data model diagrams to aid
understanding.  However, XML Schema is not very capable of expressing
more than the simplest semantics about datatypes, so we are proposing
augmenting XML Schema with RDF and OWL to capture semantics about the
data elements.  The goal is to help to identify when two data element
defined by two different vocabulary groups are really the same thing.

We'd be interested in your feedback once you have a chance to review it.
The use of RDF/OWL is described in the final Appendix.

Regards,
Brian

More questions...

I am looking at ALF as providing tool choreography for my projects.
Eclipse 
has the notion of a project as a container.  Many of the tools I want to
use 
I want to use within the context of my eclipse project.  The BasicEvent 
doesn't have any indication of a project.  So would the ALF vertical 
vocabulary for Project Management cover the concept of an eclipse
project? 
(I noticed a list of Vertical Vocabularies on Kevin Parker's blog )

I also have been looking for the definition of a "Project Vocabulary"
and 
here is a link to a nice compact definition in RDF/OWL for semantic web 
purposes.  I don't think you are interested in the RDF/OWL definition
but it 
does itemize a useful set of "vocabulary terms".
