Who is using OM? #22

Open bhaugen opened 4 years ago

bhaugen commented 4 years ago

So far I have found:

Do all the projects listed here use OM? http://www.foodvoc.org/resource/Valerie-9/EUProject

Bonsai seems somewhat related to our vocabulary-in-process for economic networks: https://valueflo.ws/

We are in process of replacing QUDT, which we have been using, with OM, and will ping here when we are finished.

Thanks, Bob! As to http://www.foodvoc.org/resource/Valerie-9/EUProject, this one's got to do with the Valerie project. Indeed, OM is used there, so we can add it to the list. Would you like to do that in your message above, or are you thinking of another way to keep the list?

Looks like you just added it to this issue. But if it was my project, I would keep an official list somewhere like the readme or doc.

P.S. @HajoRijgersberg if you or somebody set up such an official or semi-official list, we will add ourselves to it when our current OM2 branch gets merged in. Rethinking, maybe a wiki page would be a good place?

HajoRijgersberg commented 4 years ago

Would it be an idea if I created a list of references of uses of OM on the main page of this github? Now we already have some references at the bottom of the page, some of which already concern uses of OM (e.g., Martine de Vos and Don Willems).

Seems good, for starters.

HajoRijgersberg commented 4 years ago

Just added the first references to uses of OM (also transferred two references to papers on OM to this list) and references to OM in other work. Both lists are under construction, I'm diving into older refs that I have, currently.

Hi @bhaugen, I am considering either OM or QUDT in my project too. Can I learn why you switched from QUDT to OM?

@jbkoh To make a long story short, we decided at a point when QUDT 2 wasn't out yet, and we couldn't tell if it ever was coming out, it had been years without visible progress. The QUDT website was very difficult to navigate, and they didn't answer questions. There were some model problems with QUDT 1.1. On the other hand, @HajoRijgersberg was very responsive to our questions on OM, we felt like we could have access and a nice partnership.

So it wasn't about the model specifics, or the Units in the model. In fact QUDT might work slightly better for us, but either one is fine for our relatively small needs, which mostly involve om:Measure (qudt:QuantityValue) and the lists of Units.

I don't know if having QUDT 2 out would have made a difference for us, haven't looked at it, and probably won't take the time, we'll just stick with OM.

Good luck!

[edit] P.S. @bhaugen and I work on the same project.

Thank you for your friendly words, Lynn! :)

@fosterlynn indeed there was a very awkward pause in publication of QUDT v2. I believe the blockage has been cleared now, QUDT is being developed in a public GitHub repo https://github.com/qudt/qudt-public-repo and the QUDT units and quantity-kinds are all now available from their canonical URIs, with HTTP conneg and also file-suffix negotiation. See, for example, http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/M3 and http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/M3.ttl , http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/Area, http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/Area.ttl

Thanks @dr-shorthair that is good to hear.

Thanks all for sharing the experiences and the current status. I will consider them on my decision!
