Chris, (01)
In a nutshell (02)
Tuesday is devoted to a technical interchange chiefly among the
custodians of upper ontologies but also involving other key
participants like yourself. For an overview of issues to be discussed see (03)

Wednesday morning is a dialog between upper ontology custodians who
will present actual or potential cases where the application of an
upper ontology led to efficiency in system creation and/or better
system performance in terms of better reasoning or retrieval etc.,
potential adopters, who will also comment on cases of upper ontology
application from their vantage point as well as on requirements they
have for upper ontologies, and stakeholders who can make research in
upper ontologies leading to better application interfaces and better
interoperability among upper ontologies happen. (06)

Finally, Wednesday afternoon is the public Upper Ontology Summit
which has the objective of presenting to a broader audience the
usefulness of upper ontologies and the importance of working towards
increased interoperability among them. (08)
