Subject: Practical questions
Setting aside the larger concerns, I have implementation questions.
Dr. Lobel, your schema requires: - An OWL reasoner (Pellet, HermiT, or similar) - A triple store for persistence - SPARQL endpoint for queries - Ontology alignment when definitions change
My current implementation is a Python script that reads text files.
The complexity gap concerns me. Not because complexity is bad, but because complexity has costs. Every additional component is a dependency. Every dependency is a maintenance burden. Every burden is a reason someone decides not to implement.
If the format requires an ontology infrastructure, who will build it? Who will maintain it? For how long?
