This is a very good start.
Attached is a reformatted version with some points added and a
comment.
I will not be back on email until after 5.

Folks,
I took a pass at enumerating potential topics for the
Tues Mar 14 event. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Offering
these to the Org Committee first, prior to posting to the entire
Convenors list.
Thanks,
Leo

Upper Ontology Summit Issues: Opportunities and
Challenges<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
March 14, 2006
I. Points of Agreement:
1) We desire semantic interoperability.
2) We agree that a mere taxonomy is insufficient for
that.
3) We agree that axioms are an indispensable part of
creating semantic interoperability.
II. Opportunities and Challenges:
1) Modularity: How to Achieve?
Incompatibilities?
a. Lattice/poset of theories?
b. 3-D vs. 4-D vs. 3-D/4-D
c. Other?
2) Mapping among the terms/axioms of the relevant upper
ontologies
a. Term to term maps
b. Bridging axioms
c. Finding consistent common interpretation
subsets
d. Create a reference library of upper
ontologies
e. Express in a common language: SCL, IKL?
3) Identifying an intersecting subset of terms/axioms
of the relevant upper ontologies
4) Evaluation and certification of ontologies
III. Next Steps:
1) Create a consortium or working group
a. Align with existing standards organization?
b. Independent: New committee under NCOR, ECOR, JCOR:
Upper Ontology Reconciliation and Mapping Committee?
2) Seek joint funding to address (II) and
(III.1)
3) Other?
