Explaining the loose affiliation with relational databases and drawing in
people who need to get several databases to work together to solve their
business needs.
(01)
Do they need to create an ontology to accomplish their work? Or can they use
components and parts from elsewhere? Move up or down the levels of abstraction
and tie into work by others that already exists? What rules and best practices
should be followed to ensure the most can be made of
(02)
relational databases that most people already use,
with ontologies that only some people use
and web services that more and more people will be using

Ontology Summit

Though the discussion engendered by Steve Ray's original request are
educational (as usual, and Peter could make some money licensing these
conversations to educational
institutions) I think we've deviated too far from Steve's original goal: Select
the topic for the 2011 Ontology Summit.
(010)
If I remember, Steve suggested focusing on to "sell" ontologies to our
"customers" (excuse the variation in interpretation):
What's the ROI? How does this provide value? Is this a risk?
etc. ....
(011)
There are multiple ways to answer each of these variants, but it would be more
effective if all the possible answers used a common theme (i.e., the sales
pitch). As evidenced by the current uses of 'ontologies', the aspect of data
models seems optimal as the entree for starting an engagement with sceptics.
Having the "foot in the doors" many of the other benefits of using ontologies
(and their risks) can be shown. But first, you need to get someone to listen.
(012)
Thoughts?
