[ontology-summit] Framework for Track 3 Challenge - Ontology and Big Dat

["Lucier, Ernie" <Lucier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Soliciting comments by proposing a framework for the issues of Track 3 Challenge - Ontology and Big Data

 

Proposed framework for Track 3 Challenge - Ontology and Big Data

 

People in the domains of science, software engineering, computer science, etc. can benefit from a combined knowledge of their domain and application of ontology-based technologies. A combined understanding of these domains and ontology-based technologies may encourage the growth of technology.

 

Problems

·         Programmers are not able to optimize the use of unstructured data for scientist and engineers

·         Scientist without ontology training use brute force programming – can be inefficient and scientist and engineers are not aware of options and capabilities using ontology-based technologies

·         Science and ontology-based technology evolution is slow or non-existent

·         Is technological growth constrained by the shortage of qualified ontologists?

 

Goals

• Enable scientist to make maximum use of big data
• Enable scientist to understand the potential of ontology-based systems integration
• Enable ontologists to understand scientist needs

 

Needs

• The skills most needed today include a combined understanding of a scientific or engineering discipline and knowledge of ontology-based technologies.

 

Output (proposed)
