<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Sebastian,<br><br></div>An update to NIF sounds like a great idea! I agree that you should aim to standardize this in the context of the W3C, I am not sure of what the best plan for this is, the options seem to be either:<br><ol><li>Form a new CG</li><li>Take this up as a new task for the LD4LT group.<br></li><li>Ask the Web Annotation WG if they would be interested in taking up NIF as part of their spec.</li></ol><p>Personally, I would recommend the second option, we (LIDER + FREME) already have a lot of community groups and standardizing NIF would be a great way to leverage the LD4LT group.<br></p><p>Regards,</p><p>John</p><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 4:13 PM, Sebastian Hellmann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hellmann@informatik.uni-leipzig.de" target="_blank">hellmann@informatik.uni-leipzig.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Dear all,<br>
as we are advancing with the FREME project
(<a href="http://freme-project.eu/" target="_blank">http://freme-project.eu/</a>) we feel that it is the right time to
tackle some issues of NIF 2.0 which make NIF simpler and easier to
use.<br>
<br>
So the roadmap is to change the ontology first and then update
implementations and corpora.<br>
<br>
Milan, Markus, Martin and me put together a document showing the
changes:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/11nuH_xIv-nBsZz50CCj3BxoA84Vu3O7nfTgs1cGotf8/edit#" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/11nuH_xIv-nBsZz50CCj3BxoA84Vu3O7nfTgs1cGotf8/edit#</a><br>
<br>
<br>
We consider most of them a clear imrovement, reducing the size of
NIF a lot and fixing ambuigities.<br>
<br>
The most pressing discussion points are:<br>
<br>
1. rename nif:referenceContext to nif:context for simplicity<br>
2. move to a W3C community group or even working group<br>
3. move the ontology to a w3c namespace, e.g.
<a href="http://w3.org/nif-core#" target="_blank">http://w3.org/nif-core#</a> <br>
<br>
All feedback is welcome,<br>
