Greetings:
This the first formal communication to the ONION COP focused on the
creation of a semantic tool for ITIL / COBIT / SOA / Information Assurance
/ IT Audits / .... (01)
Who is the ONION CoP ?
The ONION Community of Practice has members who are thought leaders,
change agents, authors of reference works AND are :
-Interested in the outcome aka Community of Interest
-Subject Matter Experts in ITIL / COBIT / SOA / Information Assurance / IT
Audits
-Architects of IT services aka Community of Action
-Ontologists who are contributors to the evolution of ontology management
tools (02)
Why focus on ITIL / COBIT / SOA / Information Assurance / IT Audits ... ?
The subject matter is highly topical aka many IT budgets have these as
line items (03)
Why an Ontology, why XML ?
Communications are more effective when there is a common language. An
ontology declared with XML allows humans and their software agents to have
a shared understanding. In a nutshell , it gives them a single reference
model that allows the to walk that talk. (04)
What is the history ?
December 2005 - ISO 20000 published
February 2006 - The OASIS BCM (Business centric Methodology) announced
intent to create an ontology for the SOA guidelines which will complement
the BCML specification.
March 2006 - ITSMO (IT Service Management Ontology) was introduced at the
Semantic Technology Conference.
... Attendees asked (1) how could they contribute to the work, (2) how can
they get the onotolgy
April>August 2006 - Details of ITIL V3, COBIT 4 / VALIT are made public
September 2006 ITSMF Annual meeting - Practitioners are invited to join a
community of practice focused on creating a single reference model for
ITIL / COBIT / SOA / ..
October 2006 - Leaders of the ONTOLOG invite the ONION CoP to become a
formal Forum Project
October 2006 - Members of the Collaborative Expedition invite the ONION
CoP to consider how their work helps the consumers of track the values of
IT services (05)
What are the next steps (tentative) ?
October 2006 - Logistics of using ONTOLOG Wiki / email / meeting tools to
establish open CoP
November 2006 - First formal meeting of ONION CoP
December 2006 - Finalize ONION Objectives
January 2006 - First draft of ONION layers
February - March 2006 - First draft of one or more ONION slices
April 2006 - First draft ITIL V3 ONION Slice (06)
Note: as a member of the ONION Cop you are invited to join other members
of the ONTOLOG Forum..

The Ontolog community is pleased to announce that Dr. Pat Hayes from the
Florida
Institute for Human & Machine Cognition ("IHMC") will be presenting to the
community his talk entitled: "A logic for ontology interoperation" by Dr.
Pat Hayes* - Thu 26-Oct-2006 (08)
Over the past few years a series of initiatives have converged on the
design of a 'common logic' into which a large variety of alternative
logical notations and formalisms can be projected, and so can act as an
expressive foundation for ontology interchange and standardization. This
talk will briefly survey the design principles that have emerged from
these discussions and the outline of the resulting framework, which is
currently going through ISO approval as ISO Common Logic, and a more
recent extension called IKL, designed explicitly for ontology
interoperation, which provides a variety of powerful naming conventions
which enable it to explicitly describe relationships between ontological
frameworks. We will illustrate the talk with examples showing how
description logics such as OWL,
modal and temporal logics, hybrid logics and context logics can be mapped
into CL and IKL.
*About the Speaker*:
*Dr. Pat Hayes* is currently a member of the W3C Data Access Working
Group tasked with the design of an RDF/OWL query language. He has been at
various times an AI researcher, a Luce Professor of cognitive science, a
Professor of philosophy, a notational engineer and a Semantic Web
researcher. (09)
