[ontology-summit] Communique: tying together all the tracks

[Michael F Uschold <uschold@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here are some thoughts on how all the tracks tie together, and how we might tell a coherent story in the communique.

[OAF]: Ontology Application Framework

[VAL]: Value Propositions and Metrics

[CHA]: Grand Challenge

[STR]: Strategy

[CAS]: Case Studies

To the extent that the focuse of the 2011 ontology summit is making the case for ontology, the driving track seems to be the strategy one.

Strategy for making the case focuses on value propositions to specific kinds of stakeholders (e.g. developers, end users, CTOs). This ties into the value group.

The value propositions work can directly fit into the OAF, as part of it. A set of value propositions linked to metrics and benefiting stakeholders. It can also be tied to the specific techniques/technologies/approaches that are rprobable for achieving the benefits. The cases provide requirements for the OAF. When the OAF is sufficiently mature, then the cases can be expressed in terms of the OAF.

Finally, the grand challenge can be identified by examing the cases, the technologies and the benefits achieved today. By looking at the current techniques/technologies/approaches that drive current value, they can lok to the future where more technology capabilities can further drive een greater benefits.

If anyone wnt to draw this out on their favorite semantic mapper tool, that would be great!
