Joab, (06)
I just wanted to personally thank you for covering our
summit. Since you posted the notice about the article to the
ontology-summit list, I imagine you are reading the responses that it
has produced. Some people are also squirming a bit about the title
claiming data reuse is not possible without ontological work (it’s
could be possible, but just much harder without ontologies) but I
imagine it would be difficult to change the title of the article – and
not very attention-grabbing if it were to say “Data reuse more
difficult without ontological work”. I recognize the constant tension
between engineers and scientists on the one hand, who want to avoid
overstepping a claim, and the media (and the political world, I would
venture) who strive for clarity in a message. (07)
In any case, I will continue to think about the
comments coming in on the list, and review your article. If I come up
with something that I think is critical to amend, I will let you know. (08)
Thanks again, (09)
- Steve (010)

Hello! (013)
Joab Jackson here from Government Computer News… I've written up a
quick summary of the communiqué and the meeting. We posted it
yesterday: (014)
http://gcn.com/articles/2009/04/07/nist-ontology.aspx (015)
I’ve tried to capture the details as accurately as possible, but if I
made any mistakes, please shoot me an email and we’ll get them
corrected. (016)
I know the new administration is talking quite a bit about government
reuse of data, so this topic is quite pertinent these days. (017)
Thanks again for letting me attend… (018)
Joab (019)
