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

["Michelle Raymond" <michellearaymond@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hit send too soon.  This is a more complete response.

 

Team,

I've used yellow highlight for topics I think are of interest to the community and green highlights for topics I think are of interest to the community and are of particular interest to me.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michelle

 

Here is also an added topic suggestion for consideration.  

0051. Stability of Open Ontologies
Comment
Hypothosis: Truely Open Ontology stability in terms of consistency and even data validity is tenuous when anyone can make modifications.

Issue: If these modifications are then made available to anyone through a repository, is the value of the ontology to the retriever's usage not constantly in question?

Comment
There's been discussion on Scoping information within an Ontology and Views that filter and group information within an Ontology. When applying concepts of Scope and View to an Ontology Repository what is the depth metric? (i.e. when applying Scope and View to an Ontology Repository is the Repository Content evaluated only at the Ontologies' Metadata level or does it include the actual content of the contained Ontologies?)
