Review Comment:
This paper introduces a formal ontology of the SAE-J3016 standard. The
paper provides an overview of the ontology with accompanying artifacts.
The paper is well-written and the figures are clear. Although the
examples span the majority of the paper, these examples illustrate the
ontology on real-world tasks. Some of the captions on the figures could
be more descriptive, but overall this is a paper that will be of
interest to the SWJ community and with minor edits I should be accepted.
Pros
======
+ Figure 1 is a nice encapsulation of the ontology.
+ The paper focuses on an important problem: vehicle standards an
ontologies should be a focus of the SWJ community, especially with
the influx of self-driving cars and V2V communication.
+ Nice examples in Section 5, but I wonder if this could benefit from
a running example with many different parts, e.g., a vehicle
parallel parking, although the human remote driver is a good
example.
+ The data provided by the authors in the form of a github repo
contains the ontology and is well-organized. It contains a README
file with links to the ontology and other resources. They also
include a set of python scripts to contribute to the repo. This
github repository is appropriate for long-term discoverability. To
my knowledge, the data and artifacts are complete.
Cons
======
- The introductory section is a bit terse and it lacks depth and
context. I'm wondering if this section could be strengthened by
illustrating a use case.
- Table 1/2 could be improved with a more descriptive caption of the
classes and properties.
- Some of the examples in Section 5 run a bit long and I'm wondering
if they could be shortened or possibly moved to an appendix.
Questions
===========
- Maybe it would be useful to differentiate between the different
types of vehicle standards (at least classifying their purpose or
focus).
- One thing that I was wondering about was whether this ontology is an
extension of the SAE-J3016 standard or a formalization of it?
Minor things
==============
- Line 19 page 2: "The paper has the following structure We start by
discussing related works". Missing a ; or .
