[ontology-summit] Ontology Summit 2011 Symposium near-final draft agenda

To: Ontology Summit 2011 discussion <ontology-summit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

All,

 

Please see the following near-final draft agenda for the Ontology Summit 2011 Symposium.

                                                                                                                                                                                                

Also, please note that the following rule (the “Fabian Rule” as we are calling it from last year, named for our colleague and co-organizer Fabian Neuhaus) will be in effect during the Symposium for discussion on the Communique. This will help us avoid disruptions, argumentation over trifles, and improve the quality of our discourse.  

 

1)      A final draft of the Communique will be released to the membership next week, no later than Friday, April 15, 2011 (and probably earlier).

2)      Any participant of the Ontology Summit can submit by email change requests or raise questions for debate at the workshop until the deadline of Saturday evening, 6 pm EDT, April 16, 2011. This is prior to the Ontology Summit Symposium.

3)      After the deadline, a new change request/question can be only raised if it is supported by at least 3 participants of the Summit.

4)      Leo and  Ram’s addendum: We will strictly enforce a time limit on the discussion per issue.

 

As previous Ontology Summit old-timers will recall, much of our time was spent wordsmithing. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we don’t have time for that. Having an overview of the open issues prior to the Ontology Summit Symposium allows the organizers to plan/adjust the agenda  and the discussion moderators to ensure that all  issues are addressed. Please note that the first day of the Symposium is devoted to the Track champions’ reports and the Communiqué  discussion. The Communiqué will be final at the end of the first day.

 

Thanks and we look forward to your participation,

Ram and Leo
