Now, for this Thursday's session ...


= Ontology-based Standards miniseries session-4 - Thu 2013-10-10 =

Session Co-chairs:
 Mr. Peter Yim (Ontolog; CIM3) & Dr. Ram Sriram* (NIST)

Topic: The Case for a "Quantities and Units of Measure" Ontology Standard


== Abstract ==

This is a continuation of the Ontology-based Standards mini-series
that got started in late 2012. Since we have already had two content
sessions and a planning session, this session is labeled as
"session-4". That (3rd) brainstorm/planning session resulted in a
program of 8 topics which we will be covering partly during the rest
of 2013, and partly in 2014.

Among one of the initiatives that spun off from OntologySummit2009:
"Toward Ontology-based Standards" was the effort to work towards a
"Quantities and Units of Measure" Ontology Standard ("QUOMOS"). A
rather thorough survey of the landscape was done by the Ontolog Forum
members, who then progressed the work to a standards development
effort under the auspices of the OASIS QUOMOS TC.

In parallel, various similar efforts were also active - notably the
NASA QUDT (Quantities, Units, Dimensions, and Data Types) Handbook and
Ontologies that came out earlier this year. For this session we have
invited Mr. Ralph Hodgson, who led the development of this NASA/QUDT
work, to give a brief introduction to this QUDT work.

On our panel today, we have invited various User-domain Standards
Developers (users of QUOMOS), as well as key members of the QUOMOS
team (developers of QUOMOS) to share with us their perspectives. After
the QUDT presentation, our other panelists will give short briefings
to help kick-start the conversation. An open discussion will ensue,
which will revolving around:

I. given what (standards works) are already available[1], do we still
see the need for a cross-domain, International Quantity and Units of
Measure Ontology Standard (like what the OASIS QUOMOS TC has
chartered[3]), and

II. if so, what could/should that QUOMOS ontology standard deliver, to
best meet user needs and expectations?

What we really hope to gain out of today's session, is a dialog
between the users and developers of the QUOMOS standard ontology, so
that the work products from this effort will not be something that
sits on the shelf, but something that meet the needs and expectations
of its users.
