Re: [ontology-summit] Ontology Summit 2013

[Amanda Vizedom <amanda.vizedom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael and all,

I've posted some enthusiastic comments about the summit topic, quoting your announcement in full, on Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114012160944143852021/posts/8ognkt2LqNx

The link to the Summit home page is included via the past-in of the announcement. 

Sharing the link in case there are other folks here who are on Google+ and might want something for easy rebroadcast. :-)

Best,

Amanda

Hello everyone,

we are getting ready to start Ontology Summit 2013:

"Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle"
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013

 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.

 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.

Three keys dates are already locked in:

(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

Peter Yim will be sending a follow-up message with more information.

Looking forward to everyone's participation in these events
in preparation for this year's Summit!

Ontology Summit 2013 Co-Chair
