*ANNOUNCEMENT* (01)
We are pleased to announce that *Dr. Patrick Cassidy* from MITRE
will be joining us on Thursday, July 13, 2006, to present a talk
on *Defining Vocabularies, Ontological and Linguistic: A Tool for
Ontologizing Ontolog*. (02)
This is the 10th event in the series of events of talks and
discussions (between April and July 2006) that revolve around the
topic: "Ontologizing the Ontolog Body of Knowledge" during which
this community explores the "what's" and "how's" to the
development of a semantically interoperable application, using
the improved access to the community knowledge of Ontolog as a
case in point. (03)
*Conference call-in details*: (04)
Date: Thursday, July 13, 2006
Start Time: 17:30 UTC / 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT
(World Time:

Session Duration: ~2 Hours
Dial-in Number: +1-641-696-6600 (Iowa)
Participant Access Code: "686564#"
Shared-screen support will be available (05)
Topic: *Defining Vocabularies, Ontological and Linguistic: A Tool
for Ontologizing Ontolog* (06)
*Abstract*: (by Pat Cassidy) (07)
For over ten years, study groups have been exploring the
potential for broad agreement on a common upper ontology as a
tool for semantic interoperability. The vision of how the upper
ontology will enable semantic interoperability is usually stated
in terms of unifying the semantics of multiple databases, or
mapping multiple domain ontologies through a common upper
ontology or interlingua. This talk will describe how utility of
the upper ontology for semantic integration goes beyond these
scenarios, and will propose the use of an upper ontology in a way
that may immediately affect the task of ontologizing the Ontolog. (08)
*About the Speaker*: (09)
*Dr. Patrick Cassidy* has been involved in building ontologies
since 1992. He is currently working at MITRE as a Senior
Artificial Intelligence Engineer. Prior to that, he was an
ontologist at VerticalNet, one of the pioneers in applying
ontological engineering to eBusiness solutions. Dr. Cassidy has
been playing an active leadership role in the ontology community,
which include his founding and chairing of the ONTAC-WG (Ontology
and Taxonomy Coordinating Working Group) of SICoP; as well as his
key contribution in organizing the recent Upper Ontology Summit
(Mar. 15, 2006). He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1971. (010)

This will be a virtual session over an augmented conference call.
The session is expected to start with a 45 min. ~ 1 Hour
presentation followed by an extended discussion between the
participants and the speaker. The entire session will be recorded
and made available as open content under the prevailing Ontolog
IPR policy (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32). (012)
As usual, this Ontolog event is open to all. I look forward to
having you at this session. Please pass the announcement along to
those who might be interested to join us too. (013)
*RSVP* by by emailing me at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> offline. (014)
Regards. =ppy (015)

P.S. This "Ontologizing Ontolog" series will culminate in our
imminent face-to-face meeting in Northern California, which will
start with a full-day workshop at Stanford (colocated with the
9th International Protege Conference) on July 23, 2006. For more
