Yes, I agree this has to deliver: "some impactful results, which needs to be
pragmatic and useful to the three communities concerned"    (01)

Subject: [ontology-summit] [OT] please stay focused on the
OntologySummit2012 discourse [was - Re: P vs NP and open world principle]    (02)

Dear All,    (03)


I want to thank John Sowa for having moved this conversation over to the
[ontolog-forum] list, as that is the more appropriate venue for this
particular dialog.    (04)

Again, since this [ontology-summit] list is the place for the
OntologySummit2012 discourse, please stay on topic. Before you post, please
ask if your post is contributing to ...
//
The principal goal of the summit is to bring together and foster
collaboration between the ontology community, systems community, and
stakeholders of some of the "big systems." Together, the summit participants
will exchange ideas on how ontological analysis and ontology engineering
might make a difference, when applied in these "big systems." ...

Also ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2012#nid309T
... kindly prefix the subject lines for respective conversation threads by
track topics. As someone (believe it was AmandaVizedom) said at a recent
virtual session (which I paraphrase here), "if your have trouble labeling a
post/conversation and group it under one of the track labels, chances are,
it probably doesn't belong here (on this [ontology-summit] list.)    (06)

We only have a little more than two months to deliver some impactful
results, which needs to be pragmatic and useful to the three communities
concerned; therefore, please stay focused!    (07)


Thanks & regards. =ppy
