Dear Quentin,    (01)

Thank you for this input.    (02)

By scarce resources, I was principally thinking of people with particular
skills, but it could also relate to high performance hardware for example.    (03)

Hi Matthew,    (07)



I work as a Content Semantics architect at Wolters Kluwer, where we are
developing ontologies to represent documents and their metadata. As part of
this work, I have experienced difficulties (or bottlenecks) in the
application of ontologies.     (08)



Please find attached my answers to your questions:    (09)

*       What is it that takes a lot of time and effort? There are 2 tasks
that are rather time-consuming; (i) the extraction of the knowledge from
Subject-Matter experts (SMEs), and (ii) the explanation of the model to
developers using it. 
*       What is it that is very expensive? The extraction of the knowledge
is expensive as most SMEs have a "ideal" vision of what their knowledge is
and tend to differ from the actions / reasoning they actually use. For
instance, doctors will answer questions theoretically when their reasoning
while consulting patients tend to be different. 
*       What is it that is held up because of a lack of scarce resources? I
am not quite sure what you refer to as "scarce resources"
*       Why is it that ontological approaches are not taken when they
could/should be? Time constraint on the delivery of the ontological
artifacts mean that the model and its implementation are generally not
separated.     (010)



Kind regards,    (011)

Dear Colleagues,    (015)

This year's Ontology Summit    (016)

http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014    (017)

has as its topic: "Big Data and Semantic Web Meet Applied Ontology".    (018)

Track C of the programme is: "Overcoming Ontology Engineering Bottlenecks"    (019)

http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014_Overcoming_Ontolo
gy_Engineering_Bottlenecks_Synthesis    (020)



So to kick Track C off, we would like to invite you to help us identify the
key bottlenecks in ontology engineering for Big Data and the Semantic Web.    (021)
