Sharing Knowledge: Scientific Communication - SSOAR

280 Paul van der Vet, Eelco Mossel
C2M is now tested on a large number of formats to detect weaknesses and
omissions. Future work will be directed at an extension of the possibilities of the
system in two directions: more instantiation functions and more special grammar
constructs will widen the range of formats that can be described by specification
files; and possibilities will be added for using C2M as middleware system.
We view the project as a first step toward a more empirical approach to
language design, which will involve (among other things) user surveys.

Appendix A: Simple-chem ontology
This example lacks documentation because the choices have been explained
in the main text, section 3.3.
molecule = atom-list, bond-list
atom-list = repeated( atom )
bond-list = repeated( bond )
atom = chemical-symbol, id, dr-coord-x, dr-coord-y, dr-coord-z
bond = id1, id2, bond-type
Appendix B: CT file format specification
Here, too, documentation has not been inserted because the main text
provides sufficient background information to understand the choices made. See
sections 3.4—3.6.
