SemanticFramework—September 2009
MMI Ontology Registry and Repository (ORR)
A first version of the Web-based VINE mapping tool, now fully integrated with the ORR, has been completed. Also a search functionality was added. Several issues and enhancement requests related with the portal were prioritized and several fixed. Inference mechanisms using the Jena Semantic Web Framework (http://jena.sf.net) were added to the ORR. The new OOR site is now located at http://mmisw.org/orr/.
Significant changes have been started regarding the registration of external ontologies to address outstanding issues 177 and 99 related with re-hosting options and normalization of concepts (short-name, acronym, resource type). Usability will also be substantally improved.
