Adam,
My brain is very
tired right now. I'll get back to you and Francesca in a
bit.
Todd P.S. Please copy any e-mails to my Raytheon
e-mail address (in the CC line).

Hi all
I would like to revitalize this
project, and I do have some time to work on it; I have been working like crazy
to get my tenure portfolio in and to write papers, etc., so I could look like a
good candidate. But now that's over. Fingers
crossed.
It looks like there are a few issues that need
to be resolved before we begin creating terminology content (or whatever our
end-product should be called).
Can we first establish
some basic (very basic) administrative infrastructure. I know we want input from
the various user and contributor communities, but without some initial
absolutism, we won't be able to proceed.
1. establish a
dedicated communication channel so that we can work on the subsequent items
below. I propose that I create a mailing list at shiftingbalance.org (my own
domain). When we build up some momentum, we can start using the IAOA
communication infrastructure.
There are various
proposals below about how we ought to communicate, but I don't see any
resolution.
2. create some committee-like structure, in
which there a chairperson, who doesn't have more authority but is responsible
for doing things like calling for votes, making sure it's clear what we have
resolved, when we have resolved something, trying to direct discussion, keeping
track of what each person is committed to doing.
I
volunteer, if no one else will.
3. Set an initial
deadline for ourselves to come up with some long-term goals and how we might get
a start and formulate some broadly stated general principles that people
gathering information and formulating the definitions might refer
to.
I'll stop here with my suggestions to see what
people think---
To the IAOA Subcommittee for Terminology: After considerations with the
other IAOA members last Monday (April 8th), we agreed it might be a good idea to
revitalize past projects, such as the Terminology one. In our last conversation
(reported below) we checked the active interest of three of the seven original
members of the group. If you've
changed your mind / can find some free time in the upcoming months to still get
involved in the project, please let us know. We could reopen a community
discussion. Thank you for your interest, F.
Francesca,
There are at least 3 of us, as Adam
pointed out. Though I know there are others on the sidelines waiting to see what comes of this work.
As to communications, though it may be more efficient to engage in
point-to-point communications, since this is an IAOA effort I
think we should use the IAOA mailing mechanism.

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?

To the
Subcommittee. 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.
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.

(and I would be very surprised if Antony sees this differently), any interested

Thus, no IAOA member is restricted from participating in the lexicon
project.

the discussion within the subcommittee should take place on the general IAOA
member list or on some other list. 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.

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.
