Ontology Summit 2013 Consolidated Summary

Quick Reference to Virtual Summit Session Content

The 2013 Ontology Summit involved a series of on-line meetings from  February through April, 2013, culminating in an 2 day symposium at NIST in Gaithersburg Maryland.    

The summit was divided into 5 subject areas with two or more sessions for each area:

  1. Intrinsic Aspects of Ontology Evaluation

  2. Extrinsic Aspects of Ontology Evaluation

  3. Building Ontologies to Meet Evaluation Criteria

  4. Software Environments for Evaluating Ontologies

  5. Hackathon - Practicum in Ontology Evaluation Tools and Environments

This table lists the original presentations and reports across the online,  topic sessions, excluding only the last three online sessions which involved discussions and analysis of the results of the summit.  It is intended to be used as a simple lookup aid for review of the presentations in unanticipated order, perhaps to compare and contrast the information presented in different sessions. 

All of these entries were derived from the Ontology Summit 2013 Main Page, which should be consulted for clarification of these entries or further information about the summit and its results.
