Hello Professor Fields, (01)
Thank you very much for your compliment. (02)
For upper ontology, I understand that the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology
(SUO) Working Group does run a few discussion lists (see:
http://purpleslurple.cim3.org/ps.php?theurl=http://suo.ieee.org/#purp74
). (03)
I saw your post to [protege-discussion]. That's a good place to hang
out too. While it is tools-centric, there are participants from many
different domains there, and they are generally friendly and helpful. (04)
Yes, the [ontolog-forum] is business focused. Our charter can be found
at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl#nid011 (05)
Your suggestion of (06)
> An ontology discussion web discussion might include the local
> discussion and up (the onto tree) while having ways of
> discovering other ontology discussions which may be unrelated
> but contain links to your area - so that you may offer expert
> advice. (07)
is ideal ... I am not familiar with any existing active forum that
covers such a scope. By copying my co-conveners of [ontolog] here,
let's see if they might know of something. (08)
Of course, you are most welcomed to subscribe to the [ontolog-forum]
either as an active participant or as an observer. Our invitation (at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2002-09/msg00000.html ) is
standing. (09)
Good luck to your endeavor. (010)
Best regards,
PPY (011)
P.S. On a separate note, I run CIM3.NET, which is in the business of
providing infrastructure and support for coomunities of practice and
distributed project teams. You can see our infrstructure and tools at
work in the context of [ontolog-forum]. If you are starting your own
community, you might consider using our platform. That way, your can
focus on your goals and your prjects, without having to worry too much
about the infrastructure and support issues. If you are interested,
please take a look at http://www.cim3.com/CIM3_Executive_Brief.htm ;
and if that's something you want to do, please feel free to email me
any time. Tx. -ppy
