Re: [ontology-summit] [COMMUNIQUE] Thread Summaries STILL Needed!

[Mark Musen <musen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I am writing to let you know that the schedule for developing the communiqué that Leo laid out in his message on Sunday is, as should be apparent by now, impossible for us.  We need text to integrate into a coherent document, and, with notable exceptions, that text has not been forthcoming.  At this rate, we are aiming simply to distribute the draft communiqué in advance of the meeting.

We are still waiting for some of the thread summaries.  Leo and I will begin our work once we have the necessary prose.

Thanks for your forbearance.

Mark and Leo

Folks,

 

We hope to paste together whatever summaries we find on the thread sites today/tomorrow (Apr. 20/21) into a draft Communique. We will largely follow the structure ofhttp://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2008_Communique/Draft, and that is where we'll place the draft and then send a link with the email notice.

 

Structure:

 

Because there is no dedicated thread to just Requirements, we consider this topic to fall under the OOR thread.

 

Ontology Summit 2008 Communique: Towards an Open Ontology Repository   

 

    * Goals of this Communique   

    * Requirements for an Open Ontology Repository   

    * State of the Art (Frank Olken)   

    * Quality and Gatekeeping (Barry Smith and Fabian Neuhaus)   

    * Ontology of Ontologies (Michael Gruninger and Pat Hayes)   

    * Repository Architecture (Michelle Raymond and Ravi Sharma)   

    * Open Ontology Repository (Mike Dean, Peter Yim, and Leo Obrst)   

    * Conclusion   

We witness and agree to the contents of this Communique:   

<Name, Affiliation>   

 

Once we submit the draft Communique, we’ll then request comment/changes up to Thurs/Fri (Apr. 24/25) of this week to incorporate into a 2nd draft. This latter will be our beginning input into the Ontology Summit.

 

Note that we can incorporate changes deriving from the discussion of Day 1 of the Summit (Apr. 28) and then the dedicated Communique session in the morning of Day 2 (Apr. 29). By the end of this latter session we need to have a final Communique that all can agree to.

 

Thanks much,

Leo and Mark
