obtain the latest information on the tool, to download a free copy of the source
code or binary release, and/or to try out the online demo.
2 A URI is a generalization of the more common URL, roughly composed of a
naming scheme or protocol indicator (http, ftp, mailto, etc.) a unique indicator
(a domain space name for http, a mail address for mailto) and a “fragment id”
which is a hash mark followed by a set of characters — thus, for example, an owl
class called “person” from an ontology on a University server might be named
by the URI http://www.thisuniversity.edu/OntologyLib/csontology#person.
3 Bookmarks are another example of hidden URIs, at least in their most common
form. Browsers typically have many ways to review bookmarked URIs.
4 We plan to extend our ontology evolution/versioning framework based on
related work such as Stojanovic, Maedche, Motik, and Stojanovic (2002) in
a specific project or working set. This practice is highly beneficial in understanding
and debugging code.
