Re: [iaoa-education] IAOA Lexicon Project

[Fabian Neuhaus <fneuhaus@xxxxxx>]

Great! Thank you for accepting. 

Obviously, it is up to you (by which I mean also Todd, Francesca, Francisco-Edgar, Luc, Richard, and Ali) to decide how you want to tackle the problem and organize yourselves. But I would suggest that you use this mailing list. This will hopefully motivate some of the other subscribers to the list to get involved.

Subject: IAOA Lexicon Project

Dear All,

On Wednesday the IAOA EC council discussed the idea of creating an IAOA lexicon. The EC decided to create a subcommittee of the Education Committee for this purpose, and nominated Todd Schneider and Adam Goldstein as co-chairs.  I am very happy to announce that Todd has already accepted.

Shortly, you should all receive a subscription notification from the education committee email list. If you don't receive it or have any difficulty subscribing, please let me know.

One issue that the EC did not settle yet is the name of the new subcommittee -- which is obviously linked to the intended scope of the work. While a lexicon will be one output, I hope that the long-term purpose of this subcommittee is to address the current Babylonian confusion  in applied ontology and need for a shared terminology in our domain. (Whether the result of its work is organized as lexicon or as ontology or as wiki does not really matter.) For that reason I believe something like "Subcommittee for Terminology" would be appropriate; suggestions are welcome!

Best

Fabian
