Re: [SEM-GRD] Semantic Grid workshop at GGF9

Dave and Carole,

I also enjoyed the workshop and would
like to help with the primer.

A couple thoughts:

        -
I think it was decided in the workshop that the target audience of the
primer is to be the grid infrastructure developer.  But it was also
felt that the "application holder" was a desireable secondary
audience.  How about including application-orientated perspectives
in appendices?  E.g. an appendix for "A day in the life of the
bioinformatician using the Semantic Grid".  That would describe
the problem and benefits in the vocabulary of the bioinformatician, referring
them then to common concepts, tools, etc in the main body of the primer.
 
        It
could also have little case study vignettes of lessons learned in that
application domain - like "XYZ ontology appears to be doing a good
job at addressing problem such-and-such.  The developers have found
that curating the ontology in such-an-such a way is working particularly
well.  This is probably due to factors blah-blah-blah ...".

        -
It's no doubt a topic for a roadmap document (not the Primer), but how
about a proposal (including screen mockups) of what people might feel is
an ideal, no-holds-barred tool or suite of tools for developing, maintaining,
and using ontologies and semantic markup?  As the tools&methodology
section of the Primer is developed, people might want to also try to accumulate
this sort of wishlist on the side.
