Hello everyone, (01)
we are getting ready to start Ontology Summit 2013: (02)
"Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle"
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013 (03)
Description, Goals, and Objectives:
Currently, there is no agreed methodology for development of
ontologies, and there are no universally agreed metrics for ontology
evaluation. At the same time, everybody agrees that there a lot of
badly engineered ontologies out there, thus people use -- at least
implicitly -- some criteria for the evaluation of ontologies. (04)
The goal for Ontology Summit 2013 is to identify best practices for
ontology development and evaluation.
We will consider the entire lifecycle of an ontology -- from
requirements gathering and analysis, through to design and
implementation. In this endeavor, the Summit will seek collaboration
with the software engineering and knowledge acquisition communities.
Research in these fields has led to several mature models for the
software lifecycle and the design of knowledge-based systems, and we
expect that fruitful interaction among all participants will lead to a
consensus for a methodology within ontological engineering.
Following earlier Ontology Summit practice, the
synthesized results of this season's discourse will be published as a
Communique. (05)
Three keys dates are already locked in: (06)
(i) (pre-launch) community brainstorm and planning - Thu 2012.12.13 -
starting 9:30am PST / 12:30pm EST / 6:30pm CET / 17:30 GMT/UTC
(ii) first organizing committee meeting - Fri 2012.12.14 - starting
8:00am PST / 11:00am EST / 5:00pm CET / 16:00 GMT/UTC
(iii) OntologySummit2013 Launch Event - Thu 2013.01.17 - starting
9:30am PST / 12:30pm EST / 6:30pm CET / 17:30 GMT/UTC (07)
Peter Yim will be sending a follow-up message with more information. (08)
Looking forward to everyone's participation in these events
in preparation for this year's Summit! (09)
