Abstract: (028)
This is our 8th Ontology Summit, a joint initiative by NIST,
Ontolog, NCOR, NCBO, IAOA & NCO_NITRD with the support of our
co-sponsors. The theme adopted for this Ontology Summit is:
"Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle." (029)
This is our 6th event, and we are a third of the way through the
virtual sessions for the Summit. Each of the four tracks have
hosted very exciting presentations that address the key Summit
themes -- Intrinsic Aspects of Ontology Evaluation, Extrinsic
Aspects of Ontology Evaluation, Building Ontologies to Meet
Evaluation Criteria, and Software Environments for Evaluating
Ontologies. (030)
Currently, there is no agreed methodology for development of
ontologies, and there are no universally agreed metrics for
ontology evaluation. At the same time, everybody agrees that
there are a lot of badly engineered ontologies out there, thus
people use -- at least implicitly -- some criteria for the
evaluation of ontologies. (031)
During this Ontology Summit, we seek to identify best practices
for ontology development and evaluation. We will consider the
entire lifecycle of an ontology -- from requirements gathering
and analysis, through to design and implementation. In this
endeavor, the Summit will seek collaboration with the software
engineering and knowledge acquisition communities. Research in
these fields has led to several mature models for the software
lifecycle and the design of knowledge-based systems, and we
expect that fruitful interaction among all participants will lead
to a consensus for a methodology within ontological engineering.
Following earlier Ontology Summit practice, the synthesized
results of this season's discourse will be published as a Communique. (032)
In today's session, we will focus on the synthesis of all of
these ideas as input into an initial draft of the Summit
Communique. We will also have a discussion on some new features
of this year's Symposium -- a hackathon for ontology evaluation
software support and the idea of ontology evaluation clinics for
ontologies that people want evaluated. (033)
****************** (034)
These sessions, like all Ontolog virtual events, are open and free of
charge. Anyone who is interested, or (better still) who may have
something to contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on
the session pages, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you
will find session agenda, conference call dial-in, slides and other
pertinent information. Feel free to pass this invitation along to
colleagues who may also find these sessions to be of interest. (035)
*RSVP* by emailing Peter Yim at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> offline (or add
yourself directly to the session page if you are already an
Ontolog or
Ontology Summit community member) so that we can prepare enough
resources to support everyone. [Please state clearly the date of the
session you are registering for in your email.] ... All respondents
will be subscribed (if they aren't already so) to the
[ontology-summit] mailing list so they are participate in the virtual
discourse. (036)
These sessions will be recorded and made available in a publicly
accessible archive. Therefore, before participating, please make sure
you are cognizant of our IPR policy (ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32). (037)
