Hi Todd and All,

and thank you for the prompt and clear answer. Last questions, as I might have missed sth.
How many people are currently actively involved in this project? How many do still plan to contribute?

If interest has meanwhile evaporated, we could narrow down the discussion to private emails for quicker communication and stick to the deadline.

Best, F.

Francesca,

1. Dividing the work: That would be good. I've been making additions as I come across attributable definitions. As to getting things started, they already have and you've contributed to this start. The real challenge is to complete this first phase.

2. Deadlines: Well, we probably should. I'd proposed 31 December 2012 to complete this first phase that consists of the 'difficult' terms. Currently there are 27 of these, with a couple being synonymous (e.g., endurant, continuant).

What has yet to be done is associating the definition(s) with the applicable domain, if there is one, or indicating the definition is valid for all domains.
Here a 'domain' is one of those identified in the diagram near the top of the page.

Thoughts?

Todd

I hope you're All doing fine.

I'll try to rephrase my last request, since I couldn't get direct answers. Maybe the Chairs can help us in this.

1. Do you think we can fairly divide the work among all Subcommittee members, so to get things started?
2. Would it be ok if we set some tentative deadlines?

Thank you for your time and advice,
best, F.

To the Subcommittee:

thank you for your emails.

Do you think it would be possible for the chairs to plan deadlines and work division among team members for the first phase?

Also, would it be possible to get more info on the phases mentioned (Todd's last email)? How many of them are you thinking of? Could you provide us with a tentative schedule?

Grateful for your indications.

Best, F.

Subject: Re: [iaoa-education] Consolidation of issues

Adam, Fabian, Francesca, and all interested members,

Sorry for the delay in responding. So here's a proposed
(form of a) project plan (that extends Adam's consolidation
of issues).

Goal: To promote the use of applied ontology by easing the
      burden of understanding core and common concepts
      by providing a list of terminology and their interpretations,
      based on discipline domain (e.g., philosophy, conceptual
      modeling, logic, representation languages, computation, etc.).
      And allowing for differences in interpretation (with explanation).
 
Vetting: The list will be made public after being affirmed by the
      IAOA membership.

Scope: Applied Ontology and its contributing or underpinning
       disciplines along with related areas (e.g., semantic web,
       logic programming, etc.).

Schedule: The terminology/interpretation list will be produced
          in phases. The result of each phase will be an extension
          of the previous list that has been affirmed by the
          IAOA membership.

Organization: The lead editors are the chairs of the terminology
          subcommittee.

          Discipline Editors/Managers - Each applicable discipline
                     should provide editorial guidance for those
                     terms having an interpretation in their
                     discipline. It should be within their
                     purview to allow or assign editors to
                     individual or sets of terms.

As far as I am concerned (and I would be very surprised if Antony sees this differently), any interested IAOA member is welcome to join the education committee and its subcommittees. Thus, no IAOA member is restricted from participating in the lexicon project.

One reason for having specialized committees and associated mailing list is that not everybody in the IAOA is interested in everything that is going on. Thus, it seems obvious to me that we don't want to have a terminology discussion on the IAOA member list, but on a mailing list whose audience is restricted to people who are likely interested in the subject. So either the discussion should happen on a designated mailing list for the subcommittee or it should happen on the education committee list.

Frank's email is a good case in point. By the way, all EC council members are on the education mailing list; thus, this is also a way to keep the EC in the loop.

OK, unless there are dissenting opinions, I think we can declare that we have decided to continue to use the education committee list.

Unless I am missing it somehow, are there others out there with suggestions about how to proceed? Do we have any specific goals at this point? I will try to add to the proposed list of terms and also see if I can add to definitions.
