Dear Colleagues, (02)
After five excellent and well attended "OntologySumit2014: Big Data
and Semantic Web Meet Applied Ontology" sessions and the numerous and
insightful input contributed from the community so far, we are pleased
to invite you to join us, this Thursday (Feb-20) for session-06, when
we will do a synthesis on what has transpired in the
OntologySummit2014 proceedings, and discuss how we want to frame this
year's Communique. (03)
****************** Headlines ****************** (04)
Please join us this Thursday at the Ontology Summit virtual session.
Thereafter, activities will be rolling out every week, until end
April, 2014. In particular, please join us every Thursday, when we

* between now and end Apr-2014, we are planning to run virtual panel
sessions every Thursday at the same time window, ~ 2 Hrs, starting
9:30am PT / 12:30pm ET ... please mark your calendars. (09)
*Register your attendance* by emailing <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> off-line
or register yourself directly to the wiki session page. Please specify

****** OntologySummit2014 Session-06 ******** (011)
This session will begin with a short introduction by one of the Summit
General Co-chairs, with a brief progress assessment and suggested
fine-tuning of the OntologySummit2014 direction and approach where
applicable. (012)
We will then be briefed by a champion from each of the four content
tracks, providing the syntheses of the discourse that has transpired
so far (be that from the virtual sessions, mailing list discussion, or
wiki page input). An open discussion among all participants will
followed, with an aim to distill the key messages, and positions we
want to assume, as the Summit community. (013)
A Co-lead Editor of the Communique will then present their approach to
the OntologySummit2014 Communique and a Proposed Draft Outline. After
that, we go into an open discussion again, with an aim towards
arriving at a near-final OntologySummit2014 Communique Outline, which
will frame how this year's Communique will get developed by all
parties concerned. (014)

********************* Details ************************ (016)
This is our 9th Ontology Summit, an annual joint initiative by NIST,
Ontolog, NCOR, NCBO, IAOA & NCO_NITRD with the support of our
co-sponsors. The theme adopted for this Ontology Summit is: "Big Data
and Semantic Web Meet Applied Ontology." (017)
Since the beginnings of the Semantic Web, ontologies have played key
roles in the design and deployment of new semantic technologies. Yet
over the years, the level of collaboration between the Semantic Web
and Applied Ontology communities has been much less than expected.
Within Big Data applications, ontologies appear to have had little
impact. (018)
This year's Ontology Summit is an opportunity for building bridges
between the Semantic Web, Linked Data, Big Data, and Applied Ontology
communities. On the one hand, the Semantic Web, Linked Data, and Big
Data communities can bring a wide array of real problems (such as
performance and scalability challenges and the variety problem in Big
Data) and technologies (automated reasoning tools) that can make use
of ontologies. On the other hand, the Applied Ontology community can
bring a large body of common reusable content (ontologies) and
ontological analysis techniques. Identifying and overcoming ontology
engineering bottlenecks is critical for all communities. (019)
OntologySummit2014 will pose and address the primary challenges in
these areas of interaction among the different communities. The Summit
activities will bring together insights and methods from these
different communities, synthesize new insights, and disseminate
knowledge across field boundaries. (020)
Following earlier Ontology Summit practice, the synthesized results of
this season's discourse will be published as a Communique. (021)

These sessions, like all Ontolog virtual events, are open and free of

something to contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on
the session pages, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you
will find session agenda, conference call dial-in, slides and other

of your who may also find these sessions to be of interest to come
join us. (024)
*RSVP* by emailing Peter Yim at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> offline (or add
yourself directly to the session page if you are already an Ontolog or
Ontology Summit community member) so that we can prepare enough
resources to support everyone. [Please state clearly the date of the
session you are registering for in your email.] ... All respondents
will be subscribed (if they aren't already so) to the
[ontology-summit] mailing list so they are participate in the virtual
discourse. (025)
These sessions will be recorded and made available in a publicly
accessible archive. Therefore, before participating, please make sure
you are cognizant of our IPR policy (ref:
