Sergei, (01)
Also, NCOR has an ontology evaluation committee, and we have proposed
some stuff (and have a recent submission to EON 06). Perhaps you'd like
to join this? (02)
I'd also like to have a discussion about this, since my own background
is semantics for NL, and once upon a time semantics was included more
prominently in computational linguistics. Until the swing of the
pendulum into statistical syntactic based approaches. (03)
Thanks,
Leo (04)

It would be a pleasure to work on specifying such an experiment.
Most, if not all, of the NLP-related "bake-off" tasks so far have
been designed in such a way that the shallow, semantics-free and
knowledge-lite approaches have a built in advantage.
Different formulations and metrics are possible. Maybe we can have a
"birds-of-a-feather" meeting at the meeting next week to toss around
ideas... (09)
