Monday, April 28 (1AY5)
- 8:30 Introductions and networking (1BLG)
- 9:15 State of the Art - chair: FrankOlken (1BLH)
Remarks from the chair: This session shall comprise a 45 min. presentation and 30 minutes open discussion. The talk will be organized in terms of various technological facets of ontology repositories, rather than by examples. Topics will include: (1G7F)
- (1G7S)
- Informal vs. Formal Ontologies (1G7G)
- Macro-level issues (collections of ontologies) (1G7H)
- Micro-level issues (storage, querying, etc. of individual ontologies) (1G7I)
- Ontology Acquisition (manual, spidering, etc.) (1G7J)
- Ontology knowledge representation: (frames, graphs(RDF), logics (DL, FOL)) (1G7K)
- RDF Triple / Quad Stores (1G7L)
- Mappings among Ontologies (1G7M)
- Supporting tools: UI, editors, browsers, curation tools, ... (1G7N)
- 10:30 Break (1AYF)
- 11:00 Repository Architecture - co-chair: MichelleRaymond & RaviSharma (1BLI)
- 12:00 Lunch (1AYG)
- 2:15 Quality and Gatekeeping - co-chair: BarrySmith & FabianNeuhaus (1BLJ)
Remarks from the chair: This session will start with a 10 minutes summary of the results of our previous results. We will spend the rest of the time in discussion. In particular we have to resolve the following issues: Are the ontologies in the repository required to be open? And if so, what exactly does 'open' mean in the case of ontologies? Another set of questions is linked to the topic of requiring the ontologies in the OOR to meet certain quality standards. (1G79)
- 3:30 Break (1AYH)
- 4:00 Ontology Of Ontologies - co-chair: MichaelGruninger & PatHayes (in absentia) (1BLK)
Remarks from the chair: This session will start with a 5~10 minute brief, and go straight into discussion. Since logical relationships are well-understood and OMV is a strong candidate for engineering metadata, we want to spend most of the time of the session in brainstorming mode, with the focus on identifying scenarios and examples of ontologies that we can use to test the adequacy of the proposed ontology metadata.
