Re: [ontology-summit] Content Committee: Topics for Discussion Threads

[Rex Brooks <rexb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michelle,

I made my choices of main important topics in bold and red: 1.1-(002), 1.4-(005), 1.5.1-(007), 2-(009) and 4.6-(0037). As a Repository-Builder I could have selected almost everything, but I chose these as the topics most important to me and my anticipated audience as keys to making the repositories as useful as possible. I think most objects and classifications need to consistently refer back to or align with one or another upper ontology and it would helpful if this was sensible enough for non-experts and non-technical people to at least grasp. So these are the threads that resonate most with me.

Cheers,

Rex
