Sally, (01)
I hope that you don't mind, but I reflowed your message for readability. (02)

- Provide a brief description of your background (04)
My bio is published in Diversity Careers Magazine Sept,2000. (scroll
down to the middle of the article to read my bio) (05)

- Describe the personal goals and objectives that are
driving your participation in Ontolog (07)
My responsibility at Boeing is in the area of XML Data Interchange
which enables system interoperability and eBusiness. (08)
I participate in several standards groups, in particular, I use the
Boeing example to prove out the standards work and recommend improvements: (09)
ebXML, UNCEFACT - Prove ebXML architecture, define standard business
process (BP), and core components (CC) supporting the business
process. Register common BP & CC in public registry for reuse across
industry. Boeing example documents is publicly available. (010)
OASIS-UBL - Define standard eBusiness documents by reusing ebXML core
components. Have completed purchase order and purchase order response
documents. Available from OASIS UBL site. An example from Boeing is
in work, available in Nov. OAG (Open Application Group) - provides a
set of XML documents. Boeing contributes to the OAG extensions white
paper, it is available from OAG site. (011)
AIA (Aerospace Industry Association) - moving towards XML. Applying
UDEF to solve the interoperability problem between different data
element names from different standards. (012)
ATA (Air Transportation Association) - moving towards XML. ATA XML is
used in the Boeing ebXML example above. (013)
- List your areas of interest (014)
To achieve interoperability, there needs to be a "SINGLE" standard,
however, XML language is so flexible, every standards group creates
their own. Developers needs to continue mapping to yet to another
"standard". Can we apply ontology to align the different yet similar
data elements defined in these standards? (015)
- List any ideas that you have for discussion topics (016)
1) The relationship and difference in ontolog, top maps, semantic web.
2) For system interoperability, the focus is on data elements, what
is the right approach?
3) For document centric application, the focus is content, what is
the right approach? (017)
Regards, (018)
