Scott,
Please note that the Ontology Summit 2011 Symposium is not an open forum on any topic about ontologies, but is focused on the existing Ontology Summit 2011 Communique. If you have specific items related to the Communique, please raise them and do indicate where specifically they occur in the Communique, and suggest alternatives.
Please see the current Ontology Summit 2011 Communique draft at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011_Communique/Draft.
Thanks much,
Leo

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] Ontology Summit 2011 Symposium Agenda and rules
All,
My name is Scott Streit. I am the CTO of Intervise and a Professor at Villanova. At Villanova, I am responsible for call Semantic Web Research and courses. At intervise we have developed and placed four Semantic Web systems into production.
My proposal is:
I would like an opportunity to debate differing techniques in Ontology development. The debates would include:
Metrics on "good" ontologies. These metrics include number of Object Properties vs. Classes. Limits on the number of classes in an ontology.
Promotion of re-use.
Modeling in the User's Domain versus any Controlled Language approach.
How to build an ontology.
The ideal use of profiles,
The use of Penning.
I would also like to propose engineering techniques such as:
How to make Semantic Solutions multi-level secure.
The N-Tuple is it Logical or Physical.
How do we merge the Semantic Web and Cloud Computing.
Another topic area is the discussion of why the semantic web has not take off as rapidly as its RDBMS predecessors. Issues include lack of adaption at Universities and the fact that most innovations have come from open source. Products vendors, also, may provide resistance.
Many of these would be great for a solution offered by one (perhaps me) and then a panel, dialogue or debate. I have slides, materials, and case studies of each of these topics. The are all interesting to me and are all roughly equivalent in importance.
Is any attendee or panel member interested in these topics, debates and perspectives?

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
