Geodise DAML+Oil workshop

Tutorial and exercise feedback

13:00 Wednesday 19 February, Atlas 1, Dept Computer Science, University of Manchester

Contact: Angus Roberts

  1. The first session could have done with examples of how description login ontologies are used - COHSE, Tambis, Drug Ontology etc
  2. JR's session on advanced techniques would have been better after all the Ikea example had been done
  3. The Ikea example could have been more guided, with more set exercises. It was too big a jump from the early simple button pressing exercise to this
  4. The words and terminology used are confusing, especially for people from other areas of Knowledge Engineering. Is a glossary needed?
  5. The early presentations went over some people's heads. It would be better to have some examples, and the button pressing exercise first
  6. IH's presentation needs shortening
  7. Some of the Ikea example is too abstract for this level of learning (for example, modelling colour and style). Perhaps a pizza ontology would be a better example?
  8. The large example ontology should have set tasks and exercises for people to try
  9. We could have a ready made application for people to use their ontologies in (Perhaps a pizza ordering application? Building this could be a student project)
