Subject: RE: [ontology-summit] Fwd: Ontologist Aptitude Test? (06)
Hello Joel, (07)
Tests such as SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT (to name
a few), are national (US) *admission* tests (not just for NYS). (08)
>From the perspective of what already exists presently, we are
interested in knowing if there are *certification* guidelines/standards for
professional ontologists. (09)
As an example--from another related profession--consider the
certifications offered by the IEEE Computer Society
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/getcertified/home): (010)
:: CSDA: Certified Software Development Associate
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csda) (011)
:: CSDP: Certified Software Development Professional
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/certification) (012)
Of course, we also know of various well-known software-related
companies which offer various forms of certification (e.g., Microsoft,
Oracle, Sun Microsystems, IBM, etc.) (013)
Is there something like CSDA/CSDP for professional ontologists? (014)
If you know answers to this question, please let us know, by: (015)

Hi all, (027)
I originally posted this to the ontolog-forum and Peter suggested that I post
it here as well. I thought of these questions after yesterday's presentations,
but wasn't sure if it should have been in this list or that list. Problem
solved, they're in both! (028)

As (memberOf @me (union (programmerClass analystClass systemsArchitect))) I
could easily think of questions pertaining to set theory, graph theory,
unification (Prolog) and syntax (RDF, N3, OWL). But that wouldn't be treating
it any differently than gallimaufry of Mathematics and Computer Science. What
about nomenclature, taxonomy, etymology, hermeneutics (or anything else in
linguistics)? (030)
