AstroTL 0.01

A diverse collection of UCDs, column names etc from the Strasbourg UCDs and Vizier archives together with topics from previous meetings of AMSR, ECA and TL bound together with relationship types from our most recent meeting (OntologyRelationshipTypes).

I'm pretty sure I'm not building the ontology correctly. For a start, I think the cardinality is on the wrong side of the relationship type where I've used it.

I'll do some more work on this, read the DAML+OIL docs and have another go at it.

AstroTL 0.02

An extension of the above - or a reversal in some ways but still same information.

I've created a load of reverse properties. I've switched from up to down relationship types (see comment in OntologyRelationshipTypes) to fix the cardinality. I've turned the UCD leaf nodes, real column names and journal names into instances rather than classes.

I tried to create relationships between instances, eg POS_EQ_RA_MAIN is associated with column RAJ2000 and RAJ2000 is a column in J_ApJ_502_558, but after doing this the Save function wipes the file out and leaves the cursor as an hourglass. I'll tell the developers of the problem but I don't know how to get around the problem - just have to leave it I guess.

AstroTL 0.03

No real difference to 0.02 except for fixing the Save problem. Sean Bechhofer (one of OilEd's developers) showed me where I'd gone wrong: the properties should not have any spaces in them. I changed that and added the relations between the individuals and then uploaded the fixed version as 0.03.

UCD 0.01

I took a copy of the CDS UCD structure and, with some manipulation and a little programming, have generated the same structure in a DAML document. All the 'leaves' of the structure (ie, those with no subclasses) are represented as Instances, all the others as Classes. Everything inherits from a UCD_Thing superclass.

This probably won't be updated in a hurry. Creating it was quite a fiddle involving editing the hierarchical text structure to create an xml document (getting rid of spurious double-quote and forward-slash characters which screw things up at one stage or another) and then, using a WSH script, reading that in and creating an output xml file with daml structure, then manually adding the daml header and footer.

Patricio is going to try and get the UCD/Vizier meta-database and, if we get that, we can look at creating a program that'll generate not just the UCD structure but the links to column names and catalogue names and their URLs. Low priority at the moment!
