Re: [ontology-summit] [VarietyProblem] Tackling the Variety Problem in B

[Gary Berg-Cross <gbergcross@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ken et al,

To your starter list I would offer the idea that Ontologies can also offer a basis for better data/metadata annotation.

Work includes semantic tagging to help with discovery.

This is an idea going back to things like Weinstein, Peter. "Ontology-based metadata." Proceedings of the Third ACM Digital Library Conference. 1998.

Dear Colleagues,

This year's Ontology Summit

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

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

Track D is: "Tackling the Variety Problem in Big Data"

The Synthesis Page is at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2014_Tackling_Variety_In_BigData_Synthesis

So to kick off Track D, we would like to ask:

- What can ontologies best contribute to Big Data and how can this be done?

Here are some suggestions from the Synthesis Page:

Background knowledge of the domain within which the data is being produced, processed and analyzed

The structure of the data

Provenance of the data, including any transformations, analyses and interpretations of the data that have been performed

Processing workflows, including merging and mapping data from multiple sources

Privacy concerns

Other suggestions?

- What aspects of the variety problem would have the most benefit in the
short term? In the long term?

- What use cases would be the most compelling?

Please let us know your thoughts as replies to this email. Please also
feel free to add ideas, pointers etc. to the Community Input page for
Track D, at:

Best regards,

Ken Baclawski and Anne Thessen
Track D Co-champions
