Topic: *The Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM)*:
*Motivation & Brief Introduction* (09)
*Abstract*: (by Elisa Kendall) (010)
The Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM) is recently
adopted standard from the Object Management Group that
supports ontology development and conceptual modeling
in several standard representation languages. It
provides a coherent framework for visual ontology
creation based on OMG’s Meta Object Facility (MOF™) and
UML™ (Unified Modeling Language), bridging Model Driven
Architecture (MDA®)-based standards for automating the
physical management and integration of metadata with
Semantic Web technologies. (011)
In this talk, we will: (012)
o Introduce some of the languages supported by the
ODM, and step through the basic metamodels for RDF,
OWL, and Common Logic (013)
o Discuss related efforts in the W3C and OMG and how
they relate to the ODM (e.g., W3C Semantic Web Services
& Rules, OMG Semantics of Business Vocabularies &
Rules, Production Rule Representation) (014)
o Touch on the relationships between the ODM and
standards for metadata development, management, and
registration emerging from the W3C and ISO/IEC
communities (e.g., Dublin Core, Simple Knowledge
Organisation System (SKOS), ISO 11179) (015)
o Explore current research and its implications for
next generation architectures and solutions that
embrace the marriage of MDA and Semantic Web technologies. (016)
*About the Speaker*: (017)
*Miss Elisa Kendall* is the CEO of Sandpiper Software,
which she founded in 1995. She has over 25 years
professional experience in the design, development and
deployment of enterprise-scale information management
systems for communications, high technology, and
manufacturing applications, with a focus on information
interoperability. Over the last five years she has been
instrumental in bridging emerging technologies from
professional software engineering disciplines, such as
the Object Management Group (OMG)’s Model Driven
Architecture (MDA®) methodology, which provides a basis
for automating metadata management, and knowledge
representation and reasoning (Semantic Web)
technologies. She is principal architect of Sandpiper's
UML-based knowledge representation, ontology analysis,
and reasoning architecture, and has developed rigorous
methodologies for domain assessment and ontology design
and development. Her formal training in Situation
Semantics coupled with extensive systems integration
experience led to Sandpiper’s innovative approach. (018)
Ms. Kendall currently supports a number of key
customers in large scale, complex taxonomy, ontology
and knowledge-based systems development activities,
leads the ontology and policy-based network management
segment of SPARTA’s DARPA/SAPIENT effort, and is a key
contributor to standards such as the OMG’s Ontology
Definition Metamodel (ODM). She is an active
participant in the Semantic Web Best Practices and
Deployment activity at the W3C, with a focus on
software and ontology engineering. Recent customer
projects include supporting development of ontologies
for a large-scale chemical engineering application,
development of ontologies for monitoring and management
of software in a service-oriented architecture (SOA)
framework, and policy-based information integration
architecture development for a financial services company. (019)
While acting as an independent consultant for Lockheed
Martin in early 1996, she conceived the notion of
applying knowledge sharing technologies to complex
engineering data integration and drove the reuse
strategy for the DARPA/TRI-Services RASSP program.
Before founding Sandpiper, Ms. Kendall served as
product development manager for Aspect Development, a
provider of component and supplier management systems
acquired by i2 Technologies. She started her career in
development, integration, and deployment of
ground-based communications, signal, and data
processing systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space.
She holds an MA in Linguistics from Stanford University
and a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from the
University of California at Los Angeles. (020)

http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2007_01_04 (021)
This will be a virtual session over an augmented
conference call. The session is expected to start with
a 1 Hour presentation followed by a Q&A and 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). (022)
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. (023)
*RSVP* by by emailing me at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx>
offline so that we can prepare enough resources to
support everyone. (Kindly include your affiliation and
job title if you aren't already a member of the Ontolog
community.) (024)
Regards. =ppy (025)
