Improvements to OpenResearch

Organizational

Major

• the underlying ontology
  • I see major problems of a coordinated evolution of the underlying ontology, i.e., that people use the right relationships etc.
  • How will the model evolve, who adapts the data to this?
  • I believe that dedicated editors are required to harmonize the categorization of entities into subject fields

• how to treat the temporalization of the data
  • e.g., if the editorial board of a journal changes
  • Options

1. Keep only current info as semantic, historical should reside in the histories
2. Try to maintain past info as semantic, e.g. "had EB member" ... but a better solution is required.

Minor

General Policies

• use of abbreviations for URIs is no good idea, because if all science is to be covered, there will be many disambiguations

ex: AAMAS = (Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, The American Association of Medical Audit Specialists, ...(?) )

Events

• sometimes, event descriptions can have "resort names" or "hotel names" as more precise specification of the hotel -> not covered in the ontology
• there are at least two types of (initiating) submission dates to be distinguished:
  • submission of an abstract
  • submission of the paper

Journals

• Journals can have an ISSN assigned, as well as an E-ISSN
  

ex: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=KER

• Journals can have several editors
  

ex: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=KER&type=eb

Technical

• Template:Event has wrong comment "Abbreviation of event series, in case the event belongs to a continuing series" for field "Superevent"
  
• The Property:Homepage should not always add a "http"-prefix ...

ex: my homepage has a "https"-prefix.

• Section Editing doesn't work, though set in my preferences

Integration of Existing Data

• get Persons, Journals, Conferences etc. from DBLP
  

in general, it should be a good idea to cooperate with them, perhaps cross-link

Legal Issues

• Can one simply copy short descriptions from other websites?

ex: The short description of KER from [1] for The Knowledge Engineering Review
