We had a very fruitful session today with Dr. Bedford (World
Bank) moderating our panel discussion on "Ontologizing the
Ontolog Body of Knowledge - Discussion Session 1 - Framing the
Issues, Requirements and Approach" (01)
Our appreciation goes out to Dr. Denise Bedford and our panelists
- Ms. Lisa Colvin (Genentech), Mr. Patrick Heinig (EPA), Dr. E.
Michael Maximilien (IBM), Dr. Bob Smith (California State U /
Tall Tree Labs) and Mr. Peter Yim (Ontolog/CIM3) - who helped
explored the issues and requirements, and on the approach we
could take toward 'ontologizing' the Ontolog body of knowledge.
And, as always, thanks to all the participants who joint us and
contributed their valuable insights. (02)
The session concluded with the kick-off of the Ontolog
Taxo-Thesaurus project, which Dr. Bob Smith proposed. Denise
Bedford and Lisa Colvin will be joining Bob to get this project
going. This is a meaningful first step on getting the
"Ontologizing the Ontolog Content" effort going. More volunteers
are called for. Those who are interested in participating in the
effort should make a post in response to this solicitation. (03)

>> Topic: *Ontologizing the Ontolog Body of Knowledge*
>>
>> *Abstract* (by Denise Bedford):
>>
>> The Ontolog community is strategizing how to develop a baseline
>> ontology to represent the entities, relationships and uses of content.
>> The purpose of this ontology is to support the needs and uses of any
>> members of the Ontolog Community. The intent is to provide a
>> foundation upon which any member of the community could apply
>> additional functionality or transform content into other ontology
>> models. By content, we include the community of people, their work and
>> expertise; all electronic archives and content created in and
>> published via the wiki, and information that is referenced by the
>> community members such as standards, reference models, meeting
>> announcements and reports. We will discuss, in this session, how we
>> should frame the issues, establish our requirements and to go about
>> approaching this task of 'ontologizing' the Ontolog content.
>>
>> *Moderator*: Denise Bedford (World Bank)
>>
>> *Panelists*:
>> o Dr. Nicolas Rouquette (NASA/JPL)
>> o Mr. Patrick Heinig (EPA)
>> o Ms. Lisa Colvin (Genentech)
>> o Dr. Bob Smith (CalStateU / TallTreeLabs)
