Re: [ontology-summit-advisors] Plea for filling out the surveys

[Deborah MacPherson <debmacp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rex- thanks for bringing up healthcare. What would really get the synthesis going is to fold in HL7.

Jack Park has mentioned a phrase that stuck with me - data awaiting proper linkage. To get geospatial, buildings, emergency response, the EDXL-HAVE community for information transactions needed quickly and accurately - then to tie that too longer term look aheads where hospitals and clinics are places for data to converge even down to the room or the microscope - according to Survey 2 - probably at least 5 to 10 years away but lets see the results, maybe less than that.

I agree, Everyone,

I agree not just because I work with Deborah in the convergence of
domains of Brick and Mortar Architecture with Information Architecture
in Emergency Management where geographical, geopolitical and, currently
lacking, interior space terminologies and data models must work together
to provide first responders and follow-on responders with accurate
current information in usable forms as needed. This kind of convergence
is happening across all domains to a greater or lesser extent.

Ontological Analysis, not just in the sense of analysis of ontologies,
but in the sense of analysis of the convergences mentioned above in
economics, healthcare and the interplay of geopolitics with energy and
environmental issues using ontological models to better understand this
interconnectedness is urgently needed.

Cheers,
Rex

P.S. I may yet fill out the Delphi Study if I can take the time. I have
already taken the second survey.
