We had another very well attended Ontolog session today, Apr. 13,
2006. Dr. Denise Bedford (the World Bank Group) kicked-off our
series of events on "Ontologizing the Ontolog Body of Knowledge",
with her talk on: "Strategy for Developing an Ontology - First
Steps". The presentation was just wonderful! (01)
Thank you very much, Dr. Bedford, for sharing with us your work
and insight, and for providing your guidance on how we could
approach this task of ontologizing our community content. Also,
as always, thanks to all who came, participated and helped
contribute to yet another great Ontolog Forum session. (02)
The digitized (mp3) audio recording of the entire session has
now been posted. That will be archived in our knowledge
repository for reference and download by anyone interested. See

> *Abstract*:
>
> Analyzing the users, use and content that will be the focus of an
> ontology is as important as the technologies that support its
> implementation. The initial analysis can determine whether your ontology
> is extensible and sustainable, whether you need one ontology or multiple
> ontologies, which technologies are best suited to implementing your
> ontology. This presentation will suggest a strategy for analyzing your
> ontological needs. The strategy derives from the approach taken to
> develop ontologies in the development community over the past ten years.
> We will take as a case in point the Ontolog content and user community.
