Kurt,
This looks good. I'd go with it and post it.
Thanks!

Peter and Leo,
This is the fourth draft that I've attempted. I think this one
does a decent job of directing the conversation but keeping it open-ended
enough to encourage participation. Hopefully, we will have a chance
to discuss it during today's telecon.

All,
-
A few weeks ago, Peter forwarded a message announcing the release of a
new Universal Business Language (UBL) Library.
-
There has been some discussion around the idea of creating an ontology
based on the UBL schemas. After discussing this idea with some of
the principles of the UBL effort, the general consensus is that the existing
specification is stable enough to begin engineering an ontology.
-
It also appears that this project would mesh nicely with the goals that
motivated many of us to join the Ontolog forum in the first place, most
notably:
-
Learn about ontologies (concepts, language, best practices)
-
Identify a lifecycle process for developing ontology-based systems
-
Increase awareness and understanding of ontology tools
-
Work with a group of people on a common ontology
-
Apply ontologies to real-world applications, especially eBusiness
-
Some of the key activities needed to get this off the ground include:
-
Outlining objectives for the project
-
Identifying targeted formalization framework(s)
-
Developing work plans
-
Ensuring access to needed tools and infrastructures for collaboration
-
Identifying project participants
-
It is my hope that this project will prove to be more engaging than a general
discussion has been and will encourage more participants to weigh in with
their ideas about ontological engineering.

Your thoughts?
