Subject: [ontolog-forum] Proceedings - Ontolog Mini-Series: Database and
Ontology (Session-6) - Edward Barkmeyer (NIST) - Thu 12-Apr-2007 (02)
> On Thursday 12-Apr-2007, we had a very comprehensive session for
> the 6th episode of the Ontolog mini-series on "Database and
> Ontology." Dr. Matthew West (Shell International Petroleum
> Company), again, presided over the session with invited speaker,
> Mr. Edward Barkmeyer from the US National Institute of Standards
> and Technology (NIST), who presented his talk on "Ontologies as
> the Next Generation Information Models."
>
> Thank you, Mr. Barkmeyer, for taking us through the development
> of Information Modeling, comparing information modeling features
> with those of the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and sharing your
> insight on how you see these progress. Our appreciations to Dr.
> Matthew West for championing this mini-series; and, as always,
> thanks to all the participants for joining us at the session.
>
> Proceedings of the session are captured on our wiki page, at:
> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2007_04_12

>
>
> ... Mr. Edward Barkmeyer's presentation contributes to yet
> another nugget in the body of knowledge on ontology and
> ontological engineering that our community is building together.
> Thanks again!

> > >
> > > In 1976, Peter Chen created the term
> > > "entity-attribute-relationship modeling" to describe an
> > > approach to analyzing data requirements in terms of the
> > > entities the data describes. In 1980, the term became
> > > "information modeling" to accommodate slightly different
> > > approaches, and in various ways, we have been improving
> > > on that idea for 30 years. The thesis of this talk is that
> > >
> > > o ontologies are an evolutionary step in information
> > > modeling,
> > >
> > > o "good"-ness is largely the same for ontologies and
> > > information models,
> > >
> > > o a good information model is a sound basis for a good
> > > ontology, and
> > >
> > > o the best practices for developing good information
> > > models apply to developing good ontologies
> > >
> > > But no discussion of these technologies is complete without
> > > examining the weaknesses of information models, languages and
> > > methods. And one of the questions to be discussed is the
> > > degree to which ontologies overcome any of these weaknesses.
> > > Object models proved only to be a step sideways. In what
> > > ways are ontologies a step forward? How do we adjust the
> > > analysis practices to take advantage of those?
