Hi Folks,
I am reposting this to the ontologizing with a changed subject
line to capture this minor exchange.
If anyone else has an interest in exploring how we might develop
an evolving glossary that perhaps gives comments and examples for
terms, as well as capturing definitions, and discussions about those
terms, I would like to hear about it.
Cheers,
Rex

Hi Paola,
At this point I was just trying to
clarify what you were looking for.
However, I also think it could be useful
if we found a way to accommodate 2, without either creating a set of
pages that will just occupy server space without being used or
creating wasteful controversy. I think that a need exists, but how
great a need, and whether it rises to the point where we should take
it on as a task remains to be seen. I don't want to help start
something that doesn't actually satisfy a need, though my experience
shows that sometimes there is a significant delay between the time
something gets started and the time when it is "discovered"
and starts serving the needs it was intended to serve or unanticipated
needs. There's seldom a way to be certain of outcomes, but we should
at least discuss it.
Cheers,
Rex

HI Rex
My immediate interest is: find an accepted definition when I need it,
for example when writing an article on deadline and wanting to
reference existing knowledge which is not made completely
explicit and usable yet. Some things are discussed in pages and pages
of literature, but not better defined in a way that can be easily and
quickly referenced, probably because its new stuffs -
This, in our days, implies many possible things
1, find an existing, accepted definition where evailable
2. find possible de facto definitions (people use the word in
different ways even when the official definition is not
available/totally accepted yet)
I think the tracking of language evolution is a personal fascination
of mine, because it shows a lot of history of concept evolution too
behind the words, therefore carries a lot of intrinsic meaning
tell us more of what you have in mind

Hi Paola,
I have a question about your interest in a glossary of
ontology terms.
Are you most interested in finding a quick one or two
entry authoritative definition, (1), or are you most interested in
gathering comments and opinions with regard to a term's various
definitions, (2)?
What struck me as I was thinking about this is the
evolution of dictionaries, which have traditionally cited known
usages, a la the development of legal findings by process of
precedents. It occurs to me that there may be a refinement possible of
the more obvious flaws of vanilla wiki procedures waved ad infinitum
about Wikipedia as if some set of obvious errors discredits the whole
process. I gathered that this was the direction of your interest, but
we have differing perceptions of this.
Thanks,
Rex

Hi Deb, Lisa
look forward to the proceedings of your exercise
I am interested in the method
could you please briefy describe your inventorying and indexing
process, what technology
do you use, and what are we going to do with what we end up
with
(I may reference this ina paper if I may and if I understand
exactly what we are doing)
Post me offlilist if you prefer, I will summarize the method and post
it
thanks

Bob and Peter,
Just to let you know that I've started the Coast inventory of the
Ontolog wiki.
You might see a lot of activity against the index tonight,
Peter. I'm letting
the inventory run.
This time around, I'm inventorying sections of the wiki to start with,
rather
than from the top down as we did last time. I'm first
targeting the Speaker
Index as I expect this will surface all of the content
from the presentations.
Next, I'll target the Meetings and Calls. I'm hoping that
this will get around
much of the superficial content we pulled up last time. We
can concatenate all
of the individual inventories in the end. Or, rerun from
the top down if this
approach doesn't produce good results.
I'm hoping this first inventory will finish by the time I come into
work
tomorrow. This is the slow part of the process.
Best regards,
Denise
