Dear All,    (01)


With the conclusion of another hugely successful Ontology Summit 2014
season (which ended with the 2-days Symposium hosted by the NCO-NITRD
on April 28 & 29 in Metropolitan Washington DC) it is time we look
back, review what has transpired, reflect on the lessons learned, and
project what we might do for the next Ontology Summit season.    (02)

Our traditional Ontology Summit "postmortem" is coming up, as a lot of
you already know. You are invited to join us at the OntologySummit2014
Review and Follow-up Action Planning Session this Thursday, May

OntologySummit2014: Review and Follow-up Session - Thu 2014-05-15    (08)

Summit Theme: "Big Data and Semantic Web Meet Applied Ontology"    (09)

Session Co-chairs: Professor Michael Gruninger & Dr. leo Obrst    (010)


Abstract:    (011)

With the adjournment of the OntologySummit2014_Symposium (on
29-Apr-2014) we have completed the program of this year's
OntologySummit. This has been our 9th Ontology Summit, that featured a
host of events spanning four months, and jointly organized by Ontolog,
NIST, NCOR, NCBO, IAOA &NCO_NITRD, with the championship from our
organizing committee members and support of our co-sponsors. The theme
adopted for this Ontology Summit was: "Big Data and Semantic Web Meet
Applied Ontology."    (012)

The event today is our virtual postmortem session. We will be
expecting participants of this year's summit, especially members of
the organizing team, as well as anyone interested in the process or
content of past and future Ontology Summits, at this session.    (013)

The goal of this session is to revisit the Ontology Summit that just
finished, and to plan ahead for the future. We will discuss what
worked and what can be improved during the 4 months of
OntologySummit2014 (plus the preparation work that led up to it,) and
get ideas on how to make next year's Ontology Summit even better. This
meeting gives us an opportunity to develop some plans and initiatives
for action that will move what we have achieved beyond the 4-month
Summit itself. Further, this meeting also provides an initial
opportunity to suggest topics and themes for next year's Ontology
Summit.    (014)
