I think the Charter text looks very good.  One thing: besides “assisting each side in bringing their perspectives to the table”, do we also want to explicitly mention “collaboration” and “integration” (going beyond facilitating conversation about commonalities and different perspectives)?  Something like “Our goal is to assist each side in bringing their perspectives to the table, and thus facilitate collaboration and technology integration from both sides”?  (the exact wording needs work.)

Subject: [iaoa-swao] Proposed charter for the Semantic Web Applied Ontology SIG

 

Please review and recommend changes to this charter for the Semantic Web Applied Ontology SIG (http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?IAOA_SWAO_SIG):

The Semantic Web Applied Ontology SIG aims to bridge the gap between the Semantic Web and the IAOA communities. This SIG's goals are to support communication and collaboration and to promote the use of applied ontology, with our colleagues in the Semantic Web (including Linked Data) community.  In addition, we want to better understand how the Semantic Web community’s problem spaces impact applied ontology. (We view applied ontology as using ontological analysis methods and reasoning to address business problems.)

Often the two communities think that they have nothing in common, whereas we believe that there is much in common - including goals, technologies, and interest in well-engineered ontologies. Many of us in IAOA promote and use Semantic Web technologies. Similarly, many in the Semantic Web community advocate more rigorous and principled ontologies (based on ontological analysis), and use semantic technologies and reasoning to address issues when dealing with vast amounts of heterogeneous data on the Web.  Our goal is to assist each side in bringing their perspectives to the table.  

In order to promote communication, this SIG is event-focused. We are concentrating on bringing together the individuals, techniques and technologies of both communities. Our activities focus on sponsoring joint workshops, collaborative authoring of journal articles across the communities, and hosting related activities such as participation in summer schools in both communities, and joint tutorials which would help build bridges.
