[ontolog] ontology tools and an ontology repository?

[Leo Obrst <lobrst@mitre.org>]

All,    (01)

We are considering one possibility for our site: an ontology repository,
wherein folks can register ontologies and/or build ontologies using
Web-enabled tools, possibly hosted at our site.    (02)

So some questions:
1) How do you feel about:
    a) our site supporting an ontology repository?
    b) our site supporting a Web-enabled ontology tool (for developing
ontologies)?
    c) none of the above.    (03)

2) Which ontology tools do you use?
   a) Can you characterize the tools: i.e., Web-enabled, ontology
languages supported, cost/licensing, POCs, experience, etc.
   b) Do you know of a tool provider who might support such a public
effort, hosted on our site?    (04)

3) Which ontology languages (knowledge representation languages) should
be the standard(s) for the ontologies?
   (Some examples: Ontolingua/KIF, Common Logic, OKBC, CycL, RDF/S,
DAML+OIL, OWL, etc.)    (05)

4) Additional Comments?    (06)

Thanks!
Leo    (07)
