Ontolog Community, (01)
Ontolog is again organizing a Face-to-Face
meeting. As was the case last time, we are
holding it in conjunction with this year's
International Protégé Conference. (02)
The 9th International Protégé Conference will be
held at Stanford University, in Palo Alto,
California. It will run from July 23rd to 26th,
2006. More information (including registration
details) can be found at http://protege.stanford.edu/conference/2006/ (03)
Ontolog is organizing a full-day workshop on July
23rd, entitled: “Natural, Semi-Formal, and Formal
Ontologies: Bridging the Layers, Limits, and Lacunas”. (04)
The workshop is targeted at those individuals who
are concerned about the stability and alignment
of formalized ontologies in the real world,
especially in the context of ontologizing
Community of Practice knowlegebases. (05)
This workshop will focus, not only on formalized
ontologies, but on the relationships among the
natural ontologies which exist within whole
systems and efforts to create informal and
formalized representations of them. (06)
The development of formalized ontologies is
dependent, in large measure, on the nurturing and
understanding of shared conceptualizations. The
robustness of these natural ontologies can be
expected to be critical to the successful
development, implementation, and acceptance of
ontology-based standards, especially in such
areas as health care, emergency response,
e-government, and service-oriented architectures (SOA). (07)
Ontolog is soliciting individuals to submit
topics for presentation and discussion. To
submit a topic for the workshop, the organizers
are asking for a brief treatment of the topic
(e.g., an abstract and 4-6 Powerpoint
slides). As the organizers are hoping for a mix
of facilitated sessions and panel discussions,
they will work with selected participants to fit
their submissions into the agenda and develop
appropriate presentation materials. (08)
