[ontology-summit] Proceedings: Ontology Summit 2013: session-14 - Ontolo

[Peter Yim <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ALL,

The full proceedings of today's "Communique: Final Draft Review" session are now online (complete with chat-transcript, audio recording, attendees roster, etc.) They are accessible from the "Archives" section on the session page - at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2013_04_18 

A HUGE THANK YOU, once again, to Fabian Neuhaus and Amanda Vizedom, our two co-lead editors of the Communique this years, and to all the contributing editors, as well as everyone, who have spent the time reviewing the draft and providing feedback.

Join us, same time next week, Thu 2013.04.25 for the "Pre-symposium preparation and review" session. As announced at the session today ...

By the way, we have 53 registrants for the symposium (as of this morning). Do note that the on-site registration closes next Monday Apr-22, and (NIST being a government facility) registration is mandatory for one to gain access to the NIST campus. So REGISTER NOW, if you haven't already - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013_Symposium#nid3P4F 

*** Special Attention: symposium speakers *** 

We need, especially all those who will be presenting at the symposium, to come to this Apr-25 session, so we can tie down the final details in preparation of this May 2~3 event at NIST (Gaithersburg, MD.) Slides for presentation at the Symposium are due Mon 2013.04.29 (not our normal Tuesday, as I need one extra day to travel.) ... Take a look at the symposium agenda: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013_Symposium#nid3P65

Again, slides should be in pdf format, all pages numbered, and with metadata populated preferably (ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpeakerSessionTips ) 

Thanks & regards. =ppy

Re: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2013_04_18


I have 3 REMINDERS (and a reiteration of an exciting Announcement) to
make with this post ...


1. This is a final reminder that virtual panel session-14 of our
Ontology Summit 2013, the "Communique - Final Draft Review" session,
is coming up tomorrow, Thu Apr-18 ... RSVP now (details below) if you
haven't already!

2. Registration for the OntologySummit2013_Symposium (May 2~3, 2013
at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) is open. Both on-site and remote
attendance are supported. See registration details at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013_Symposium#nid3P4F

3. Again, if you are an Ontology Software tool/environment developer
or steward, and have not had a chance to respond to our
OntologySummit2013 Survey questionnaire yet, please do so. The survey
is at: http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/OntologySummit2013_Survey
... One essentially has to answer a little less than 100 Yes/No
questions about your software. The results will only be meaningful,
and indicate what the state-of-the-art is, if everyone participates.
So, please!

and,

As announced yesterday by Marcela Vegetti and Ali Hashemi,
co-champions of the website team this year, our public facing
"Ontology Summit 2013 Website" is now online! - see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/OntologySummit/2013/

Re: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2013_04_18


Dear Colleagues,


You are cordially invited to participate at the ongoing Ontology
Summit 2013. Our theme for the Summit this year is: "Ontology
Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle." Coming up tomorrow
(Apr-18) is our 14th virtual panel session, when our Communique
Co-Lead Editors will be presenting their plans for this year's
communique; take us through a first draft of it, section-by-section,
and ask for comments. ... RSVP (details below)!

***Attention:*** Please note that the plan for this year is that there
will no longer be any review and wordsmithing of the Communique during
the (face-to-face) Symposium. All reviews and discussions are expected
to be done between the two virtual sessions (this week and next.)

... as such, the entire Ontology Summit community is expected at this
session. Therefore, please be there, especially if you want to
influence what gets captured into the Communique this year!

****** Session Details ******

OntologySummit2013: Panel Session-13 - Thu 2013-04-11

Summit Theme: "Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle"

Session Topic: "Ontology Summit 2013 Communique: First Draft Review"

Communique Co-Lead Editors & Session Co-chairs::
* Dr. Amanda Vizedom and Dr. Fabian Neuhaus

On the Panel:
* All Track Co-champions, who are also our Communique contributing co-editors


Abstract:

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."

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.

During this OntologySummit, 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.

In this 14th virtual session of the Summit, the co-lead editors will
present the final draft of the summit communique. It should be noted
that, while suggestions on smaller, more bounded items will still be
accepted by the Communique co-lead editors until April 25, this (April
18th) is the last day for additional comments/suggestions of
substance. During the session, the session chairs will moderate an
open discussion among contributing editors and the community, in an
effort to get this collaboratively authored work completed before the
OntologySummit2013_Symposium, where this Communique will be presented
and adopted.

******************

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.

*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.

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:
