Thursday: NASA-Ontolog-KMWG: Ontology in Knowledge
Management & Decision Support (OKMDS) mini-series -
Launch Event - ConferenceCall_2007_11_08
(1B8)
Title: Ontology in
Knowledge Management and Decision Support (OKMDS): Making Better
Decisions (1C1)
Format: a 7-month
mini-series comprising Talks, Panel Discussions and Online
Discourse; with the virtual events being offered in both 'real
world' (augmented conference calls) and 'virtual world' (Second
Life) settings. (1C2)
This virtual mini-series
will open up dialogue and discovery at the promising intersection
of Ontology and Knowledge Development and the role of both in
decision support.
(1C3)
The NASA Mission of "Space
Exploration" applied in its most expansive form, serves as the
inspiration for this series. The need to effectively administer
"knowledge space" to yield meaningful connections that are
scalable and sustainable is a strategic challenge of all
institutions, whether that knowledge resides primarily within,
outside, or across an institution's span of control. Furthermore,
the knowledge space must be integrated with institutional
processes for policy making and development so that their effect
on decisions is fundamental rather than incidental.
(1C4)
As the famed architect,
Louis Kahn noted, "Architecture is the thoughtful making of
space."
(1C5)
In this series, we'll
explore how Enterprise Architecture (using Ontology and Knowledge
Management) is the thoughtful making of space...a space with the
tensile integrity needed by disparate institutions to create
conducive conditions for emergence of the collective scientific
and engineering knowledge needed for future space... where all
humanity can thrive.
(1C6)
We'll explore how Ontology
and Knowledge Management, working in concert, "make space" to
accommodate difference at multiple levels and contexts. In this
emerging space, both individuals and institutions can more easily
distill knowledge from complexity and make policies and decisions
using knowledge based processes.
(1C7)
In addition, we'll explore
how to combine at least three scaffolding approaches for the
integrated and agile "build-out" of knowledge needed: community
(structured bottom-up), folksonomy (unstructured bottom-up) and
ontology (structured top-down).
(1C8)
The virtual seminar and
panel discussion events will be offered concurrently in a real
world "space" as augmented conference calls and a virtual world
"space", Second Life. NASA will provide orientation to Second Life
as the mini-series gets underway.
(1C9)
Our online discourse will
be cross-posted to [ontolog-forum] and [kmgov] (or dedicated
sublists of them, if the traffic warrants it.)
(1C10)
Among the questions we
might want to explore, are:
(1C11)
-
1. How can we explore
the intersection of Ontology and Knowledge Management and
Decision Support to define promising collaborations among
them?
(1C12)
-
2. How do we help
people working with our organizations to discover useful
knowledge?
(1C13)
-
3. How can we
structure information for decision support (both known and
serendipitious inquiry)? Conversely, how can we structure
decision making processes to take maximum advantage of
knowledge?
(1C14)
-
4. What are the
ontologies to prioritize for scientific exchange?
(1C15)
-
5. How does the use
of semantic technologies draw these fields closer and support
better knowledge discovery and better decision and policy
making?
(1C16)
-
6. How could
"simulation-scripting" exercises in virtual worlds accelerate
the development and sustained use of ontologies in the real
world?
(1C17)
-
7. How might these
"simulation-scaffold" ontologies, in turn, improve the pace
and complexity of learning associated with large-scale
"modeling event" scenarios and mission-rehearsals that are
anticipated in virtual world settings?
(1C18)
-
-
8. How can we
leverage ontologies to help improve knowledge management, and
in so doing, allow organizations to make better decisions?
