All,
The final Ontology Summit 2011 Symposium agenda is at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011_Symposium#nid2PU5.
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.
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.
After the deadline, a new change request/question can be only raised if it is supported by at least 3 participants of the Summit.
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 seeing (or hearing) you all at the Symposium Monday!
Ram and Leo
