Re: [ontology-summit] Ontology Summit 2013

Hello,

I think that the first thing to do to is determine what we mean by “Evaluation”. In Literature, many terms are used; sometimes have the same, different or overlapping meanings. Our start point should be explaining each one in order to have a narrow focus and to use the same “terms” during discussions to avoid ambiguity

• Ontology Evaluation
  
• Ontology Validation
  
• Ontology Verification
  
• Ontology Selection
  
• Ontology Ranking

I agree with the need to include the architecture and system design (and the methodologies for defining such, such as TOGAF) in the development of an ontology. However:

 

1.    That’s one reason that ontology *evaluation* is a more focused topic, while ontology *development and evaluation* will grow beyond the time constraints of the summit

2.    We don’t need to include everything in the *title* of the summit. We can describe the scope etc. in the introduction and track descriptions.

John, Amanda, Michael,

Should consideration be given to injecting TOGAF
into the summit structure?

That's an important topic.  But the lifecycle of an ontology is
co-extensive with the lifecycle of any application or system that
uses or is based on that ontology.

This morning, I sent replies to two email lists that most people
on this list subscribe to.

 1. To Nancy W. on IAOA, I made the point that you can't separate
    the ontology of a system from its architecture or design.

 2. To Rich C. on Ontolog Forum:  "Imagine an IT department that had
    one group doing the architecture, a second group doing the design,
    a third group doing the ontology, and a fourth group doing the
    implementation."

Amanda responded,

I would relate that point to evaluation:  a critical issue in a good
ontology is its accuracy in reflecting the design and/or architecture
of the system.

There are aspects and modules that could be distinguished.  For
example, the complete ontology of a system might combine multiple
modules or microtheories.  But the complete ontology of a system
and its complete architecture must be closely coordinated.

Any evaluation of an ontology must address these issues.

John
