This is our 8th Ontology Summit, a joint initiative by ONTOLOG, NIST, NCOR,
NCBO, IAOA & NCO_NITRD with the support of our co-sponsors. The theme adopted
for this Ontology Summit is: "Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology
Lifecycle." In an earlier planning session last month, the community and
subsequently, the summit organizing team brainstormed on how best to frame the
issues. These inputs were carefully reviewed and synthesized by the Ontology
Summit Organizing Committee and its leadership. It is this plan and program
that we will be discussing with everyone during the launch event. (017)
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 are a lot of badly engineered ontologies out
there, thus people use -- at least implicitly -- some criteria for the
evaluation of ontologies. (018)
During these 3 to 4 months (16 weeks after the Launch, to be exact) when the
Summit is in session, we seek 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. (019)

These sessions, like all Ontolog virtual events, are open and free of charge.
Anyone who is interested, or (better still) who may have something to
contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on the session pages, to
which the hyperlink is given above, where you will find session agenda,
conference call dial-in, slides and other pertinent information. Feel free to
pass this invitation along to colleagues who may also find these sessions to be
of interest. (021)
*RSVP* by emailing Peter Yim at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> offline (or add yourself
directly to the session page if you are already an Ontolog or Ontology Summit
community member) so that we can prepare enough resources to support everyone.
[Please state clearly the date of the session you are registering for in your
email.] ... All respondents will be subscribed (if they aren't already so) to
the [ontology-summit] mailing list so they are participate in the virtual
discourse. (022)
These sessions will be recorded and made available in a publicly accessible
archive. Therefore, before participating, please make sure you are cognizant of
our IPR policy (ref:
