Great, thanks, Dagobert. Additional comments on the
evolving list (start from Dagobert's version)?
Thanks,
Leo

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

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? _____________________________________________ Dr. Leo
