Dear All, (01)
We had a phenomenal kick-off session on Thu Oct-25 with a huge and
very enthusiastic group of participants. (02)
On behalf of the of the organizers and their communities, we want to
give a HUGE THANK YOU to each and everyone of the speakers, who,
without exception, pulled years (if not decades) of work and
experiences, expertise and insights together, into the succinct and
insightful talks that were given during the session. We actually had
10 speakers, plus a very active Q&A + open discussion segment that
day, all fitting into a 2-hour event window. (03)
The full proceedings of this session (agenda, abstracts, slides,
in-session chat-transcript, audio recording, ... etc.) are all
available online now - please see them (under the "Archives" section)
on the session page at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2012_10_25 (04)
This event will go down in Ontolog history, I'm sure, as a "classic"
in terms of the richness of its content, and the impact it will have
to the communities involved. So, if you missed the session, or would
want to revisit the content (as I would) to really appreciate it, make
sure you go access the archived proceedings. (05)
A mailing list - [ontology-based-standards] - is available, dedicated
to the discourse on this subject matter. Those who have responded-to
or participated-in the event (if I have your email address) will be
subscribed. Others who are interested to participate in the
discussion, or would want to be kept posted, are invited to subscribe
themselves at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/mailman/listinfo/ontology-based-standards
... if there is any question, please email <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx>. (06)
Thanks again, to everyone who has been involved, for contributing this
to the open body of knowledge that our community, for over ten years
now, has meticulously accumulated. (07)
Thanks & regards. =ppy (08)

Re: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2012_10_25 (023)
Dear Colleagues, (024)
You are cordially invited to participate at formal launch event of the
"Ontology-based Standards" mini-series of virtual panel sessions. This
kick-off session is coming up this Thursday, 25-Oct-2012. (025)
This collaborative effort to move the Ontology-based Standards forward
is a joint initiative by OASIS, OMG, various ISO working groups, IAOA,
OOR and ONTOLOG. (026)
Moving "Toward Ontology-based Standards" was adopted as the theme for
the OntologySummit in 2009. Some of the projects started back then,
plus others that have emerged since, have produced encouraging
results. We believe that sharing the experiences gained from some of
those projects with the aforementioned communities will go a long way
towards helping move the Ontology-based Standards agenda forward and
grounding the arguments for the adoption of the "Ontology-based
Standards" approach. (ref. also:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009_Communique
) (027)
With the above in mind, we are kicking-off the mini-series with two
virtual panel sessions, showcasing efforts from the OASIS ICOM TC (on
25-Oct-2012) and those from OMG (on 8-Nov-2012.) In these two
sessions, we are planning to look at exemplary work where standards
have been represented both in a natural language (English, in our
cases) as well as in formal ontology language(s). Through the sharing
of their experiences, their approaches and processes, we shall discuss
potential benefits, issues, challenges and other learnings from those
projects. (028)
