The 2nd event of our Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision
Support (OKMDS)" mini-series of activities representing a
NASA-Ontolog-KMWG collaboration took place on Thursday
13-December-2007. (01)
Entitled: "Making Better Strategic Decisions, by Asking If It Is Going
To Get Better or Worse - the SOFI Method and the System to Implement
it," the session was chaired by Jeanne Holm (NASA/JPL) and featured a
team of the State of the Future Index (SOFI) system creators,
implementors and advisors. The expert panel talked about their R & D
and Futures Research work into a collaborative open knowledge system.
They are bringing to bear the people, the process and the technology
to tackle that job. The panel described their ongoing work and plans
on how to harness some of the best legacies passed on to us, as well
as state-of-the-art approaches in information management and
technology, knowledge management, quantitative analysis, qualitative
analysis, service oriented architecture, web 2.0, Delphi, RTDelphi, as
well as semantic technologies. They explained how the use of
ontologies and ontological engineering will be central to their
approach in the next phase of the project, to enable them to tap into
virtual communities and disparate systems to come up with the
collective intelligence to provide strategic decision support. (02)
This virtual event was offered in our normal augmented conference call
settings, and simultaneously at the NASA/JPL Explorer Island in the
"Second Life" virtual world settings. (03)
A big "thank you" to the panel which included Mr. Theodore Gordon
(Millennium Project, WFUNA), Mr. Peter Yim (CIM3 / Ontolog), Mr. Adam
Cheyer (SRI), Professor Kenneth Baclawski (Northeastern University),
Dr. Patrick Cassidy (MICRA), Mr. Duane Nickull (Adobe), Dr. Denise
Bedford (WorldBank) and Dr. Jerome Glenn (Millennium Project, WFUNA),
as well as to everyone who was able to join us at the session and
contributed to the rich discussion at the last segment of the session. (04)
Proceedings of the session are captured on our wiki page, at:

In particular, screenshots from our virtual world venue are now
available. So are the full audio recording and the podcast of the
session. See details on the audio archive at:

As mentioned, this "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision
Support (OKMDS)" mini-series will span about 6 months, so stay tuned.
Our next event is scheduled for 17-Jan-2007 when members of the NASA
team are expected to join us to showcase some of their work involving
semantic technologies in a session entitled "Organizing Science
Knowledge for Discovery." Mark your calendars now. Details will be
formally announced, and posted on:

In the mean time, Happy Holidays! (08)

*REMINDER* (013)
The 2nd event of the joint NASA-Ontolog-KMWG "Ontology in Knowledge
Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series is coming up
tomorrow, i.e. Thursday, 13-December-2007 (starting at 10:30am PST /
1:30pm EST / 6:30pm BST / 7:30pm CEST / 18:30 UTC). (014)
Come to this session to join the "State of the Future Index (SOFI)
System" team who is on track to cast their futures research work into
a collaborative open knowledge system. They are bringing to bear the
people, the process and the technology to that job. They intend to
harness some of the best legacies passed on to us, as well as
state-of-the-art approaches in information management and technology,
knowledge management, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis,
service oriented architecture, web 2.0, Delphi, as well as semantic
technologies. The use of ontologies and ontological engineering will
be central to their approach in the next phase of the work, that will
enable their tapping into virtual communities and disparate systems to
come up with the collective intelligence to provide strategic decision
support. (015)
Ms. Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge Architect of NASA/JPL will be
chairing the session, and as designed for this mini-series, tomorrow's
virtual event will be offered in our normal 'real world' augmented
conference call settings, and also (simultaneously) at the NASA/JPL
Explorer Island in the "Second Life" 'virtual world' settings. [...
The latter is for those who are familiar with, or who would want to
explore the possibilities of virtual world events. (I've been asked by
quite a few, and would like to explain here, that ...) An attendee
will be able to attend the session remotely just by having phone and
Internet access. Slides and audio recording of the session will be
made available after the event too. ] (016)
*RSVP* (by e-mailing the sender off-line; if you aren't already a
[kmgov] or Ontolog member, kindly include your name, affiliation and
job title as well) if you are planning to attend and haven't already
responded. (017)
We look forward to having you at the session. Please refer to all
agenda and call-in details on the session page, whose link appears at
the top of this message. (018)
