[ontolog-forum] Follow up to Ontology Summit 2014 - a good intro ontolog

[Gary Berg-Cross <gbergcross@xxxxxxxxx>]

One observation-suggestion that came up at the just concluded Ontology Summit at NSF concerned the lack of a good

introductory tutorial on ontology.  Mark Fox noted that requests for  a useful tutorial comes up in conversations. Mark has been

unable to find one good one that he can refer people to, although there are articles, some dated, and tutorials that address

a few aspect of the topics such as intros to representation languages.

The OntologySummit2010 Communiqué touched on the need for professional ontology trained 

"Creating the Ontologists of the Future", but not one for non-professionals. Perhaps this forum is one place to share 

ideas on the ingredients of such a tutorial and how it might be created.  Mark and Mike Gruninger thought that a 4 week

 effort by the right people might be needed to craft such a product.  Perhaps IAOA would sponsor such an effort.
