Meeting Early Warning - topic of our next meeting will be "SOA expansion
of the Business Centric Methodology ontology layer". Intent is to Leverage
Existing Definitions of the Open Group SOA Ontology and provide feedback
to its authors.    (01)

For those who wish to share their views in a conference call.... please
contact me directly at carlmattocks@xxxxxxxxx with your location details

The Open Group is developing a formal ontology for SOA. We have now
reached the stage where we have a draft that we would like to share
with other organizations that are working on SOA, in order to obtain
feedback and comment. We believe that a common ontology for SOA can
be a very valuable resource for everyone to use, and we therefore
wish to receive input from as wide a constituency as possible.
The latestdraft is draft 0.6 and is available from our web page at
http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/ together with some
simple example ontologies that import it. Perhaps the best starting
point is the presentation at
http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/doc.tpl?gdid=12153
which I delivered at the recent OMG meeting. This explains the
ontology and how we think it will be used.    (04)

>> Leverage Existing Definitions
>> Whenever possible the ontological statements should leverage publically
>> available ontological definitions. For example -
>> http://www.ontologyportal.org/translations/SUMO.owl.txt
>> <rdfs:Class rdf:ID= "Process">
>> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource ="#Physical"/>
>> <rdfs:comment>Intuitively, the class of things that happen
>> and have temporal parts or stages.  Examples include extended events
>> like a football match or a race, actions like Pursuing and Reading,
>> and biological processes. The formal definition is: anything that lasts
>> for a time but is not an Object.  Note that a Process may have
>> participants 'inside' it which are Objects, such as the players
>> in a football match.  In a 4D ontology, a Process is something whose
>> spatiotemporal extent is thought of as dividing into temporal stages
>> roughly perpendicular to the time-axis.</rdfs:comment>
>> </rdfs:Class>    (06)
