Dear All, (01)
We had a really productive Synthesis-I session on Feb-21. Let's give a
Huge THANK YOU to all the champions who laboriously summed up where
things stand, and shared their thinking on how we will be moving
forward with this Ontology Summit. Appreciations should also go out to
everyone who came and contributed to this virtual panel
session. (02)
For your information, the full proceedings of the session (slides,
chat-transcript, audio recording, attendees roster, etc.) are now
available online. They are accessible from the "Archives" section on
the session page - at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2013_02_21 (03)
We shall look forward to those who plan to contribute through the
"Hackathon," "Ontology Clinic" and "Application Clinic" to work up
their project plans now, and have their proposals submitted in the
next couple of weeks or so (deadline for proposals is Fri 8-Mar-2013.)
Please feel free to discuss your thoughts, make solicitation for
partners, etc. via this forum. [ ref. details at:

Come join us again, same time next Thursday (Feb-28,) for our 7th
virtual session, when our Track-B co-champions, Terry Longstreth and
Todd Schneider, will host another panel discussion, entitled:
"Intrinsic Aspects of Ontology Evaluation-II." (05)
... Talk to you then! (06)

Abstract: (039)
This is our 8th Ontology Summit, a joint initiative by NIST, Ontolog,
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." (040)
This is our 6th event, and we are a third of the way through the
virtual sessions for the Summit. Each of the four tracks have hosted
very exciting presentations that address the key Summit themes --
Intrinsic Aspects of Ontology Evaluation, Extrinsic Aspects of
Ontology Evaluation, Building Ontologies to Meet Evaluation Criteria,
and Software Environments for Evaluating Ontologies. (041)
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. (042)
During this Ontology Summit, 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. (043)
In today's session, we will focus on the synthesis of all of these
ideas as input into an initial draft of the Summit Communique. We will
also have a discussion on some new features of this year's Symposium
-- a hackathon for ontology evaluation software support and the idea
of ontology evaluation clinics for ontologies that people want
evaluated. (044)
****************** (045)
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. (046)
*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. (047)
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:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32). (048)
