Thanks! Sorry to not be able to see you there yesterday. I am
quasi participating remotely today but have run into some tasks that are
preventing full participation.

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] Proposed draft wording for opening part
of communiqué
Couple suggestions
for shorter sentences and getting tenses to agree. Original text is below with
highlights at changes: red highlight is removed, yellow is modified,
green is added.
Practical ontology
development is becoming increasingly important - as witnessed for example by
growing interest in the Semantic Web. Ontologies that are properly
developed can significantly contribute to better understanding
of diverse problem domains. Formal ontologies provide processes and
methodologies to model information in ways that go beyond more limited
scopes often encountered when modelling specific applications or functions.
As a result,
trained ontologists (whether that be a formal job title, a functional role, or
implicit in the work of an organisation) are in ever greater demand.
Our concern
therefore, is to recognise that the role of 'ontologist' is a unique
discipline that requires a distinct set of interdisciplinary skills. As
the demand for trained ontologists increases, we need to examine and
define the role of formal education and training in providing the
ontologists of tomorrow."

As promised, here
is a first cut of a possible introduction text for the communiqué.
This is the strawman, not me - please beat appropriately.
"Practical ontology development is of increasing importance - as witnessed for

Semantic Web - and contributes a better understanding
of particular problem domains. It also provides formal
processes and methodologies to address information modelling in a way that goes beyond the more limited scopes often encountered when modelling for specific applications or functions.
"As a result, ontologists (whether that be a formal job title, a
functional role or implicit in the work of an organisation) are in ever greater

Our concern therefore, it to recognise
that the role of 'ontologist' ss a
specific discipline that requires, as does any discipline, a distinct set of
skills. As these skills are in more demand,
we need therefore
to examine the role of formal education and training in providing us with
the ontologists of tomorrow."
