Everyone,
Tomorrow we have the “Evaluation of OOPS!, OQuaRE and Other Tools for FIBO Ontologies” (Hackathon Clinic HC-03) session at 6am Pacific time / 9am Eastern Time / 2pm London / 3pm Western Europe.
All details are now posted at the session wiki page at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013_Hackathon_Clinics_FIBO_OOPS_OQuaRE
We will have an initial kick-off session using the Ontolog voice facilities, for one and three quarter hours. We will use GoToMeeting to share the slides for this session (details linked from the wiki page above).
After this session we will move to GoToMeeting for voice and screen sharing as we start on the work itself. We expect people to be able to come and go as they see fit during that time. Finishing time will be decided by consensus with the
more easterly participants and we’ll also decide whether or not we need to reconvene on Sunday. We’ll use the HC-03 session chat room (also on the above page), and I will post a note in the main Hackathon chat room when we are starting and when we’ve agreed
upon our ending times, so that others know when they can join us.
The program we intend to follow is fairly informal and we hope that as many people as possible will be able to attend and contribute ideas.
We will begin by using the table in the Google Docs document posted at the above link, to identify which of the different criteria identified in the OQuaRE framework can and should be applied to an ontology such as FIBO which is defined
as a business conceptual ontology, as well as identifying criteria that would be applicable to operational ontologies for semantic reasoning and querying applications.
Following this we will take a number of draft conceptual ontologies that have been developed as part of FIBO, and which have recently been transformed into RDF/OWL, and we will apply the various tools and techniques that are being brought
to the table by OOPS!, OQuaRE, OntoQA and any others that people bring. We will assess how these tools may be used to analyze these ontologies for conformance with the criteria identified above. We will also discuss how any remaining quality criteria may be
assessed, so that we have the basis for a fully defined formal development and QA process to use in the future.
The FIBO OWL ontologies are very much a work in progress, and we expect to make a number of findings which will help us in completing these – so please be aware that what we are bringing to the hackathon is by no means the finished FIBO
standard!
We look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow.
Best regards,
The HC-03 Clinic Project Champions
