[ppy] we (I guess that would be Steve and I, mostly) have yet to
Remote Access to UOS Meetings [was - work out the details with
NIST. I would imagine that it'll be quite similar to a normal
Ontolog session (with you're already familiar with) ... and if
that is the case (and, barring firewall issues), you're correct,
all you would need is a phone, and a browser connected to the
Internet. (05)
We will properly announce the details once we have them ... the
UOS Panel Session is billed as a meeting held both on-site AND
virtually anyway. (06)
Regards. =ppy (07)
P.S. Barry, I'm continuing this conversation as a new thread on
[uos-convene] as your question is pertinent to a handful of the
uos-conveners too.

Since I am in Germany, I believe I will only be involved in
the Upper Ontology Panel.
Can you explain how this will work technically ? Is it enough if I have a
phone and a browser?
BS
All,
Since we are only less than 3 weeks to our March 15 Upper Ontology
Summit, and that we are trying to get all (most, at least) loose ends
tied, before we even land at Gaithersburg, let me recap (from the
2006.02.16 organizing committee conference call) what we hope/need to get
done through the use of this ([uos-convene]) discussion
workspace:
Discussions on [uos-convene] to start urgently - three goals:
* (i) get a technical solution that all would agree on - Pat to
facilitate
* (ii) get the joint communique drafted - Pat & Leo to
facilitate
* (iii) get the agenda for the three meetings laid out - chair of
each meeting will facilitate that (attn: Leo, Brand & Steve)

By the way, the three meeting are namely:
(1) Mar. 14, 2005 - 8:30~10:00am and then 1~5 pm EST
Session title: "Upper Ontology Summit Joint Communique Preparation
Meeting"
Session Chair: Dr. Leo Obrst, Ontolog co-convener, MITRE
Session Description: (tentative) A small group consisting of upper
ontology custodians, the invited key participants, and the organizing
committee gets together to work out the final technical details of what
they agreed to in light of the purpose of the UOS, and to finalize the
"Joint Communique" that all are expected to signed at the 3/15
pm public panel session.
(2) Mar. 15, 2006 - 9 am ~ 12 noon EST
Session title: "Upper Ontology Application Dialog"
Session Chair: Dr. Brand Niemann, SICoP Chair, EPA
Session Description: (tentative) In addition to the panelists,
organizers, and key participants, early adopters, potential users and
potential funders of ontology development will be invited to discuss
mutual concerns.
(3) Mar. 15, 2006 - 1 pm ~ 5 pm EST
Session title: The "Upper Ontology Summit" Panel
Session
Session Chair: Dr. Steven Ray, NIST
Session Description: There are a number of extensive upper ontologies in
existence today, including SUMO, OpenCyc Upper Ontology, DOLCE, BFO, PSL,
ISO 15926 and many others emerging from the OWL community and application
areas such as biomedical research. At this summit workshop, following a
series of discussions carried out among the "custodians" of the
leading existing upper ontologies and key practitioners, a communique
will be delivered to the community that will articulate the group's view
of how these upper ontologies will be expected to interoperate in the
future. It is our belief that a consolidation of the technical
community will lead to a more thriving marketplace for semantic
technologies, with associated benefits of improved interoperability and
productivity for participating customers. Members of the public press
will be invited to join us.
Therefore, while the technical discussion is probably more fun, we'd need
to move on multiple front quickly, guys!
Cheers. =ppy
