Anything ELOT

Ontology editing with Emacs. Express your wishes.

@VladimirAlexiev, @mhodki, I think the basic functionality is in place now. We need to do some basic testing, but it makes sense to try to recruit a couple more people to the project. Maybe we could announce ELOT to the team making ROBOT, what do you think, is it too early?

[VladimirAlexiev]

It is not too early, but how many of these people use Emacs? I think you should focus on:

• more IDO WG members
• emacs users that use some semantic tools. But I don't know how to find them... I searched "emacs sparql" on github..
  • This is curious, but maybe generated by LLM? Owl meta-introspector/ctuning-submodules#1 (comment). It talks of a semantic-web package but I don't think such exists

[johanwk]

Unfortunately, that "semantic web" package has all the signs of being generated by AI. There is no such package in the regular Emacs repositories.

There's a bit of a challenge with recruiting IDO WG members these days, as we don't have weekly meetings during the ballot period.

I think I'll try first to get the "label-display" functionality in place, then start thinking more actively about spreading the word. I'm working on an ontology for a work project now, and with uninformative identifiers, the need to be able to switch to seeing labels is very strong. It's too much of a strain on the brain to have to look up names all the time. But once that's in place, I think we can say the tool is more or less ready for use, even though there are many bugs and not yet implemented features.

I've just added a new feature: displaying the rdfs:label instead of the, often unreadable, identifier.
