Ousía is a research project and not suitable for end-users yet. However, we
provide a developer preview for those who want to try out the current state of
-development.
+development. Current features include:
-\dl
- \item{LaTeX-esque language}
- Ousía implements a LaTeX-esque markup language which can be used for both
- document markup and writing ontology descriptions.
+\dl{
+ \item{LaTeX-esque markup language (OSML)}
+ Ousía implements an expressive and consistent LaTeX-esque markup language
+ which can be used for both document markup and writing ontology descriptions.
+
+ \item{Command line interface}
+ As reference implementation we provide a command line application written in
+ C++.
+
+ \item{Serialization to XML}
+ Documents can be dumped as XML, ready to be converted to another format
+ using XSLT.
+
+ \item{Structure and Annotations}
+ Ousía allows to include both: Document structure and flexible, possibly
+ overlapping annotations.

\section{About}
-Ousía has the aim to couple Semantic Web techniques with structured data.
-\dl
+Ousía Framework aims at coupling Semantic Web techniques with structured data.
+This is not only of interest to the research community but to the end user as
+well, due to:
+\dl{
\item{Re-usability}
Allow to reuse of content, concepts and styles across documents
\item{Separation of Presentation and Content}
- TODO
-
+ Document Layout can be created based on ontologies only allowing authors to
+ focus on content rather than form.
+
\item{Conversion to other formats}
- TODO
+ Ontologies as common interface layer facilitate the construction of
+ converters and support re-using modules of other converters.
\item{Collaborative and concurrent document creation}
- TODO
+ Graphical document structure provides well-defined parts that can be
+ changed independently of other users.
+}
-To that end Ousía introduces a semantic graph format that serves as an
-interface layer for tools and applications.
