The state of semantic technology today — Overview of the First Seals Evaluations Campaign
When I saw the white paper title, I was thinking, that’s a lot of work and would be incredibly useful, even if it wasn’t truly complete. Technology changes rapidly enough in this area for no fixed report to ever claim completeness past its actual publication date. Maybe not even then.
But you can imagine my disappointment when I read at page 9 that Data & Metadata Management, Ontology Customization, Ontology Evolution, Ontology Instance Generation, were not covered at all and only one part (of eight) for Semantic Web Services, two parts of five for Ontology Engineering, and three parts of three were covered for Querying and Reasoning.
Even more so when I read that three reasoners were evaluated. (You can look at semantic reasoner at Wikipedia to see a list of eighteen semantic reasoners.)
Somehow I expected more from a state of semantic technology today white paper. You?
