Prompted by the active input and contribution from this community, a
few of us got together (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard/GettingOrganized#nid20ZU
) earlier today to see what we could be doing to move the effort
forward. I am happy to announce that the following two events have
been scheduled: (01)
1. A *virtual panel discussion* session to be held on *Thursday
24-Sep-2009* to (a) hear presentations of pertinent work that we
haven't yet had the chance to, (b) take inventory of, and synthesize
on what has transpired so far, (c) review possible strawman UoM
ontology(ies) that could result, (d) possibly put together an
ontology development working group, and (e) discuss how we could/would
want to move forward. Please mark your calendars, and track this event
from the the developing session page
at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2009_09_24 (02)
2. A *full-day face-to-face workshop* for developers (the working
group) of our "UoM Standard Ontology" (and those in the community who
would want to join us as observers of the process) will be held on
*Friday 30-Oct-2009*. The plan is to do this at NSF (Arlington,
Virginia, US; near the Greater Washington DC Ballston Metro Station).
Note that this date is immediately after ISWC 2009 (which will have
ended on the afternoon of Thursday 19-Oct-2009 at Chantilly, Virgina,
US ... i.e. also in the Greater Washington DC Area). We wanted to
rush this announcement out so that folks who are planning to be at
ISWC 2009 (for which early registration is closing in two days - see:
http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org/ &
https://ww2.eventrebels.com/er/Registration/StepRegInfo.jsp?ActivityID=4116&StepNumber=1
) and then join us at this workshop afterwards can plan their trip and
accommodations accordingly. ... Again, please mark your calendars, and
track this event from the developing session page
at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard/Workshop_2009_10_30 (03)
... Further ideas, suggestions and comments to the above planned
events (or to the entire initiative) are always welcome. (04)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
