All,
I am sure many of you have been asked one of the following questions
over the years:
1. What is an Ontologist?
2. Are you an Ontologist?
3. Do you have an Ontologist in your organization?
Anyway, in our buzzword (and buzz-phrase) oriented world, we do have
to provide answers to these kinds of questions, for sure.
Unfortunately, being referred to as an Ontologist (circa. 2014)
doesn't deliver the same kind of sizzle that's associated with Data
Scientist.
Bearing in mind our buzzword laden reality, what's a meaningful and
zeitgeist friendly alternative for Ontologist, bearing in mind we
know it doesn't imply Data Scientist ?
Personally, I've always considered Ontologists to be Data
Artists due to the artistry that goes into creating a usable
ontology aimed at enabling conceptual views over heterogeneously
shaped data :-)
Why is this important?
Bridging Ontologies, Big Data, Open Data, Linked Open Data, and the
Semantic Web is a strategic goal of the 2014 ontolog conference
series.
