I guess consensus is the only possibility. AFAIC, if we have a
first discussion at 8.00, then the wordsmiths could work further to re-present
a revision for discussion between 10.40 and 12.00….
I’ve looked through the communiqué and tried to establish
whether our concept map still captures the main elements – I think it
does, with the exception of the descriptive/prescriptive dimension (which
raises the question about the danger of prefiguring intended use).
Another question: Do we want to use the concept map in the
communiqué?
In the text, I’m concerned about the mention of example
ontologies (implies preference? Illustration by example can be misleading.) and
of people (without detracting from the importance of the comments made by the
people mentioned) – if this is to be an inclusive effort, on both counts,
let’s not pick out anything or anyone for particular mention, unless justified
by the need to express something relevant to the framework.

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] first draft of the Ontology Summit
2007Communique
Olivier,
By when is the final draft going to be decided upon? I
have a number of difficulties with this, as I suspect others will as
well. However, I have very little time to respond in the next day or two.
A second question - how will acceptance of the draft be
adjudicated? Is there a voting procedure? If so, who gets a vote
(and why)? Without a known procedure, it's hard to decide how much effort
to put into formulating a response since it would be impossible to predict what
effect even the best of responses would have on the result.
