You can add MITRE too under the weak interpretation, though of course
we cannot speak for the organization. (01)

Subject: Re: [uos-convene] UOS co-sponsorship - NEED ANSWER (04)
All, (05)
Further to our uos-conveners telephone conversation today, we
agreed that this 'co-sponsorship' exercise needs everyone to
opt-in before we will be moving them from the "candidate" to the
"confirmed" list. (06)
We also committed to state clearly how we define 'co-sponsors'
whenever we cite that list. Therefore, let me re-state the
definition again, here: (07)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who would provide technical
or funding support (which all of you are already doing), and/or
endorsing the purpose of this Upper Ontology Summit effort." (08)
Ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit#nidIOJ (09)
So far, I have the following on the "confirmed" list: (010)
# the Applied Ontology journal (KLW)
# Aritculate Software (AdamPease) (KDL)
# Boeing (MichaelUschold) (KDO)
# EPISTLE (European Process Industries STEP Technical Liaison
Executive) (KLS)
# CIM3 (PeterYim) (KIX)
# ECOR - European Centre for Ontological Research (NicolaGuarino)
(KDH)
# IEEE Standard Upper Ontology Working Group -
http://suo.ieee.org (JimSchoening) (KDZ)
# NCOR - (US) National Center for Ontological Research
(BarrySmith & MarkMusen) (IOY)
# Shell (MatthewWest) (KDM)
# University of Maryland College of Information Studies
(DagobertSoergel) (KDS) (011)
and I still have the following organizations on the "candidate" list: (012)
# MITRE (LeoObrst) (KDI)
# CNR Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies /
Laboratory of Applied Ontology (Trento & Rome) (NicolaGuarino &
AldoGangemi) (KDJ)
# Cycorp (DougLenat) (KDK)
# IBM (ChrisWelty) (KDN)
# ISO 18629 Working Group (MichaelGruninger) (KE1)
# Ontology Works (BillAndersen) (KDP)
# University of Bremen (JohnBateman) (KDQ)
# University of Toronto (MichaelGruninger) (KDR)
# Texas A&M University (ChrisMenzel) (KDT)
# University at Buffalo (BarrySmith) (KDU)
# Stanford University (MarkMusen) (KDV)
# EPA (BrandNiemann) (KDW)
# National Center for Biomedical Ontology [cBio] (MarkMusen) (KDX)
# DERI ? (DieterFensel .. Leo, please help confirm)
# USC and/or ISI ? (JerryHobbs)
# UMBC ? (SergeiNirenberg)
# NSF ? (MariaZemankova ... please help confirm)
# HITOP (MarcWine ... BrandNiemann please help confirm)
# FEA-DRM ? (BrandNiemann please help confirm)
# NIH and/or NCI and/or UMLS ? (MarkMusen please help confirm)
# UBL ? (PeterYim please help confirm)
# OASIS ? (PeterYim please help confirm) (013)
If you see your name in parenthesis against an organization, I
need your help and support. Kindly get back to me (hopefully,
before the end of this week): (014)
1. if your organization can be listed as a 'co-sponsor' for UOS.
I need either a "yes" (I hope) or a "no" answer to bring this to
closure. (015)
2. if the answer is "yes", please provide the exact way you want
your organization's name worded -- this may possibly be broader
or narrower than what we have listed now. (e.g. Mark might want
"Stanford Medical Informatics" instead of "Stanford University"
because the latter would probably take too long to clear, ... etc.) (016)
3. if there are more institutional support that you can help
round up, please help by seeking the same and providing their
name. (e.g. Nicola and Mark came back and said we could list the
"Applied Ontology" journal as a co-sponsor too, and that's just
wonderful!) (017)
We need as many co-sponsors as we can! Your support will be
really valuable and will be appreciated by all here. (018)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
