Hi, (01)
My name is Norma Slattery. I am a doctoral student at George Mason
University, Fairfax, Virginia. My dissertation is in the area of
ontology developments from the perspective of performance and cost
metrics. I.e., how much better are systems based on ontologies than on
traditional systems? What does it cost to develop an ontology? What
are the cost drivers of an ontological development? What are the
benefits of ontology-based systems? How do we validate an ontologies
integrity to ensure accuracy? Etc. In other words, I'm looking at
ontology developments from a program managers and/or decision maker
perspective. Any information any of you have would be most
appreciated. (02)
Regards, Norma (03)
