Common logic was implemented to resolve these issues in 2006. It is not a cure all. No one thing ever is. Every mission is contextually special.  I hope to see you all at STIDS 2011 at George Mason where we are sure to discuss these issues in some depth.

You are preaching to the choir. But the issue isn't whether to use or adopt Common Logic.  I think there is a consensus that it's an essential element of the solution. The argument's about whether CL is or could be extended to support interconnecting an (apparently unlimited) collection of ontological models.   I hope John Sowa's right, that the CL specification could be extended to meet the requirement, but I don't understand enough about actual applications to see how.   I'm afraid that much of the argument against extending CL is based on NIH, but without a better grounding in the elements of the debate, I don't feel qualified to make such a charge.

Much of today's OOR Metadata discussion touched on similar issues.  The difference is, I think, that OOR intends that each repository instance will provide a closed world environment with complete control over the unified ontology content, mediated by more or less statically defined unifying functions (represented by the use/hasImports connections).   Interoperability, the goal of the ISO 17347 effort, is much more ambitious, I think. And of course, our experience with the NCOIC SCOPE model, and its focus on open world issues, should provide valuable insights.

Terry,

Thank you for the elucidation.

If you have any influence, try to push for the use/adoption of Common Logic.
People need to grow up someday. Delaying things only entrenches bad practices.

DOL is the rubric assigned to the first intended product of the ISO/WD 17347 working group.  For more information see the CIM3 Wikipage

John Sowa is pushing hard for the group to adopt CL or IKL as the DOL, but he's meeting with a lot of resistance to the idea.  I'm not sure I follow the arguments (from either side), but I do know that the ISO standard for CL is up for review, making this an opportune time to consider convolving the two efforts.

Terry,

I haven't reviewed the material at the URL, but what is a
'Distributed Ontology Language'?

Thanks, Peter.  I did a quick scan of it, and I think it's a useful background/use case document for both OOR and DOL (Distributed Ontology Language).

Terry & All,

During the Oct-4 meeting, I relayed a report from MikeDean on the
SOCoP presentation at the NSF CyberGIS All Hands Meeting (at Oak Ridge
National Lab, 28~30-Oct-2011), especially regarding the segment
related to OOR. Terry you asked if someone can provide a link to the
slides that were presented.

For your information, MikeDean has since furnished this information;
you can find that on our meeting proceedings now - please see under:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_10_04#nid2X5I
... thanks, Mike.

Regards.  =ppy

 to a session in the near future when he will be able to join us. I
have some interim updates from him that I can relay during this
