Michelle

I am indicating areas of my interest as well as hopefully also those of more general interest! we can pool ideas and preferences later.

There is no special meaning of yellow or green highlights except that these are more relevant to me and or oor-forum / CoP.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] Content Committee: Topics for DiscussionThreads

 

Topic Structure Discussion Fodder

The title for the OntologySummit2008 is "Toward an Open Ontology Repository."  This is the focus under which we are structuring topics. 

 

There will also be discussion threads stemming from the focus of previous Ontology Summits.  These will also need Synopsis Pages and will likely develop topic areas under the main topic once the discussion has started. 

 

Toward an Open Ontology Repository

List of possible topics

 

001.          Purpose of Ontology Repositories Research and Implementation

002.          Alignment with Common Upper Ontology

003.          Connectivity of Information Sources and Knowledge Services

004.          Improve Data Registry creation, services and maintenance

005.          Best practices for Ontology Repositories

006.          Interoperability

007.          Ontology Mapping and Repository Integration

008.          Connection Mechanisms between Repositories

009.          Ontology Repository Architecture

0010.      Functional Requirements

0011.      Structure of Repository

0012.      Objects and Classifications in the Repository

0013.      Scope and View into the Repository Contents

0014.      Infrastructure for Repository Support and Services

0021.      Life-Cycle of Ontology Repositories

0022.      Ontology Metadata and Version Control

0023.      Modular Ontology Connection and Management

0024.      Users and Roles

0025.      Logging and Metrics

0026.      Quality

0027.      Compatibility of data when crossing with other Repositories

0028.      Monitoring conformity of Ontology in Repository
