SICoP-Ontolog Joint Meeting, July 7, 2004 (A66)
This is the event planning and draft agenda work page. The official agenda and proceedings of this Joint Meeting can be found at: http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SICoP/SICoP_Ontolog_Joint_Meeting_2004_07_07 (A67)
Theme: Exploring Synergies & Opportunities for Collaboration (A68)
Purpose / Description (A69)
SICoP and Ontolog represent two Communities of Practice that cover the domain of Semantic Engineering work -- with one being a government effort, and the other a citizen effort. At this landmark event where members of both communities meet face-to-face, for the first time, we are looking toward the opportunity where members from both communities can share their challenges and experiences on multiple levels (behaviorally, organizationally, technically; on how they each leverage their tools, processes and people; ... and so on). In addition we will jointly explore synergies that we can tap into, including opportunities to collaborate: What are the potentials and realities of the highest purpose that we hold in common? How can we tap the creativity inherent in our differences - both individually and as two Communities of Practice? In light of this dialogue, what individual and community level commitments to action are shaping up? (A6A)
