[NLP2RDF] NIF 2.0 Roadmap

[Sebastian Hellmann]

Dear all,
I just wanted to update you on the current plans regarding NIF 2.0 :
In the last months there has been immense feedback from all sides and 
quite often it has not been done on this mailing list, but in private 
mails and conversation.
For the beginning, I think that this is quite alright as NIF is still 
very young (first release was in September 2011) , but as it matures 
this will have to change.

So here is the plan:

We will collect all the feedback that has been given and prepare a NIF 
2.0-Draft version within the next month.
The draft will be kept in a media wiki so everybody will be able to help 
improve it and write comments and revise it.
There will also be an open request for comments spread on the mailing list.

The most recent literature regarding NIF can be found below. There are 
some major changes, which have not been incorporated into the online 
ontology and implementation for obvious reason (stability). We will soon 
find a way to version the ontologies and update them.


All the best,
Sebastian*
