Gi2MO Wave is a standardized data schema (also referred as "ontology" or "vocabulary") designed to use for annotation and describing resources gathered inside Idea Management facilities. The following document contains the description of ontology and instructions how to connect it with descriptions of other resources.
The following specification is a formal description of metadata schema proposal that can be applied to data gathered in the so-called Idea Management Systems. The goal of the following section is to introduce both Semantic Web and Idea Management experts to the topic and goals of the ontology and provide the basic knowledge to comprehend the technical part of the specification.
An important note is that Gi2MO Wave Ontology is not a complete model of the Idea Management System. It extends the concepts of the main Gi2MO Ontology and defines concepts that were particular for Idea Management pipeline of InnoWEB project. See goals of the Wave ontology to see if this particular setting is fit for reuse in your case.
The Idea Management Systems are referred most often as an application used by organizations to collect input about various ideas regarding their products and services; and manage them afterwards providing certain assessment and screening facilities. Those kind of systems are the main research interest of the InnoWEB project that evaluates new techniques for collaborative innovation in corporate environment.
The InnoWeb is an project by the Mondragon University, ISEA institute and companies of Mondragon Corporation. One of the outcomes of the project is a collaborative innovation platform based on social software. The specific characteristic of the platform is the introduction of 'innovation waves' - an element similar to the notion of Idea Contest but imposing a number of limitations on the innovators and as well as idea reviewers (e.g. elements of idea descriptions that users have to provide).
The presented ontology is an extension to a regular Idea Management model as a consequence of introducing this notion of innovation waves.
For more details about the research and case studies conducted during InnoWEB please refer to a related publication from the 17th International Conference on Concurrent Enterprising (ICE 2011): "A Case Study on the Use of Community Platforms for Inter-Enterprise Innovation" by Felix Larrinaga, Igor Santos, Osane Lizarralde, Alain Perez.
The Semantic Web is a W3C initiative that aims to introduce rich metadata to the current Web and provide machine readable and processable data as a supplement to human-readable Web.
Semantic Web is a mature domain that has been in research phase for many years and with the increasing amount of commercial interest and emerging products is starting to gain appreciation and popularity as one of the rising trends for the future Internet.
One of the corner stores of the Semantic Web is research on inter-linkable and interoperable data schemas for information published online. Those schemas are often referred to as ontologies or vocabularies. In order to facilitate the concept of ontologies that lead to a truly interoperable Web of Data, W3C has proposed a series of technologies such as RDF and OWL. Gi2MO Wave uses those technologies and the research that comes within to propose an ontology set in the domain of Idea Management.
The goals of the Gi2MO Wave Ontology to achieve as a data schema are:
An alphabetical index of Gi2MO Wave terms, by class (concepts) and by property (relationships, attributes), are given below. All the terms are hyperlinked to their detailed description for quick reference.
Classes: | Competitor | Customer | IdeaContestType | Market | Outcome | Resource | Target | Technology |
Properties: | hasCompetitor | hasCustomer | hasMarket | hasOutcome | hasOwner | hasResource | hasSelectionCriteria | hasTarget | hasTechnology | hasType | isCompetitorOf | isCustomerOf | isMarketOf | isOutcomeOf | isOwnerOf | isResourceOf | isSelectionCriteriaOf | isTargetOf | isTypeOf |
The GI2MO Wave UML diagram presented below shows connections between classes that implement the data model of Idea Management Systems.
A very basic example below shows a single idea annotated with Gi2MO and Gi2MO Wave metadata:
<gi2mo:Idea rdf:about="http://gi2mo.org/idea/012345"> <foaf:page rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/ideaView?id=012345"/> <gi2mo:hasCreator rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/user/pedro"/> <gi2mo:content>A new, nice and modern building for the department that would have a similar interior design as shopping malls </gi2mo:content> <dcterms:title>Department building with shopping mall interior design</gi2mo:title> <dcterms:created>2012-04-23</gi2mo:created> <gi2mo:hasStatus rdf:resource="http://www.purl.org/gi2mo/ns#Implemented"/> <gi2mo:hasComment rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/comment/054321"/> <gi2mo:hasCategory rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/category/General"/> <gi2mowave:hasTarget rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/description/02345"/> <gi2mowave:hasCustomer rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/description/02346"/> <gi2mowave:hasOutcome rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/description/02347"/> </gi2mo:Idea> <gi2mowave:Outcome rdf:about="http://gi2mo.org/description/012345"> <foaf:page rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/ideaView?id=012345"/> <gi2mo:hasCreator rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/user/pedro"/> <gi2mo:content>A new building would make people feel better in comparison to studding in the current one that has 40+ years without renovation. </gi2mo:content> <dcterms:title>Outcome: Department building with shopping mall interior design</gi2mo:title> <dcterms:created>2012-04-23</gi2mo:created> <gi2mowave:isOutcomeOf rdf:resource="http://gi2mo.org/idea/012345"/> </gi2mowave:Outcome>
