Steve and Peter,
As a collective knowledge, the Communique merits and deserves
support.
For the sake of truth, there are some decisive points and ideas worth to be
considered in the future communiques.
The fields of study and operation of ontology are much more extensive, if
unlimited.
The lay readers, decision makers or business leaders, are usually
reading the summary and conclusions, where it had better avoid any weak or
questionable statements, as below:
"Ontologies represent a shared understanding about concepts and
relationships of a domain." "Ontology is about clarifying and representing
meaning and supporting automated inference", etc.
In fact, "Ontologies represent a shared
understanding about the world, its entities and relationships." "Semantics is
about clarifying and representing meaning and supporting automated inference",
etc
Anyhow, if its a resource material, without addressing the general
public, think, it should be endorsed.

Endorsement of the Ontology Summit 2011Communique
Hi
Azamat,
Sorry for the delay in my response. As Peter Yim mentioned in http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontology-summit/2011-04/msg00269.html,
the communiqué is a resource for us, not for the target audience we are
advocating to. I think of it as a resource ?recipe? where I can look through
it for ingredients I can combine to create a compelling case for my specific
circumstance. So the contents of the entire communiqué would never be used for
any one proposal or marketing pitch. Thinking of it that way means you don?t
need to agree with every point of view represented ? an endorsement means you
support the existence of the material as a useful resource to draw
upon.
(Note that I moved
my response to ?ontology-summit? rather than
?ontolog-invitation?)

Somehow i
missed its creation.
Just wonder
if its key theses are cast-iron, and the content could be only
endorsed.
I am ready
to support all the good works done, but the Communique could be bettered in
regard of its content and political publicity.

[ontolog-invitation] Endorsement of the Ontology Summit
2011Communique
Dear
Friends,
We had a very productive 2 day face-to-face symposium in Gaithersburg,
Maryland last week, and generated a strong communiqué that links back to the
rich trove of information generated during the prior three months of
discussion and synthesis. With this email, I am asking you to visit the wiki
site at http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011_Communique
where you will find the fruits of our labor, and to consider adding your
name to the list of endorsers. Just to remind you, the goal was to assist in
making the case for the use of ontology by providing concrete application
examples, success/value metrics and advocacy
strategies.
For
inclusion in the list of endorsers, please email <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> with the
statement "I endorse the Ontology Summit 2011 Communiqué (v1.0)" to confirm
your endorsement.
Thanks
again for your support.
Steven Ray and Nicola Guarino, Co-Chairs
Ontology Summit 2011
