Folks, (01)
Now that we have launched the Ontology Summit 2008, let's get right
into discussing the topics leading to an open ontology repository. (02)
This email is to give you an overview of topics and the process for
participating. (03)
First, thank you to the Champions for volunteering to maintain
synopsis pages. Each main topic will have an associated wiki page
pulling together the discussions, adding references and resources.
The wiki page will give you the option to review the current state of
the discussion and act as a jumping in point. (04)
The topic area Synopsis pages are linked from
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2008#nid18T1 (05)
Now to "How to Post". (06)
When you post to a thread, please place the main topic keyword in
square brackets at the beginning of the subject line. This will help
with topic coordination. Of-course there will always be overlap, so
choose your view of "closest" main topic as a keyword. (07)
The five main topics are: (08)
* Communiqué and Mission Statement - champions to come from Organizing Group
keyword: [Summit-Focus]
page: OntologySummit2008_SummitFocus (09)
* Ontology Repository Architecture - championed by MichelleRaymond and
RaviSharma
keyword: [Repository-Arch]
page: OntologySummit2008_RepositoryArchitecture
* Ontology of Ontologies - championed by MichaelGruninger and PatHayes
keyword: [Ont-of-Ont]
page: OntologySummit2008_OntologyOfOntologies
* Quality and Gateways - championed by BarrySmith and t.b.d.
keyword: [Quality-Gate]
page: OntologySummit2008_QualityandGateway
* State of the Art Repository Work - championed by FrankOlken
keyword: [State-of-Art]
page: OntologySummit2008_StateOfArt (010)
As the discussions evolve there will be many new and exciting threads
in each Main Topic. Below is a list of some of the suggested topics
arranged by Main Topics. The five Main Topics are the starting point.
In the course of the next 3 months other key ideas may come forth to
warrant becoming Main Topics with Champions. These will be added by
the Content Committee based on community opinion and support. (011)
