As part of the OntologySummit2009 program, we have scheduled these
virtual events, in the form of augmented conference calls, to
collaboratively develop the community's perspectives and position on
this year's Ontology Summit theme on working "Toward Ontology-based
Standards." You are cordially invited to join us to share your
insights. (09)
*Thu 12 Mar 2009* - Professor Michael Gruninger (ISO 18629 PSL;
University of Toronto) has put together an expert panel that (so far)
include Professor Barry Smith (SUNY-Buffalo), Mr. Edward Barkmeyer
(NST), Mr. Nicola Guarino (Laboratory for Applied Ontology, Italy),
Professor William McCarthy (Michigan State University) and Mr. Conrad
Bock (NIST), who will be briefing the participants before the session
opens up to discussion on the subject of the "Ontology Community
Perspectives Toward Ontology-based Standards." ... Please refer to
