Thank you, Steve. I like your proposition ... Good start to get a dialog going
too! (05)
Before we delve any deeper into the discussion, may I suggest that we: (06)
1. focus on just collecting names of people who are interested to help
'convene' this event, since, like last year, we'll be starting a separate
mailing list for this (probably fairly high traffic) discussion. (07)
2. Let's save the dialog, brainstorming and debate till the new list is up. But
for now, if one is compelled to talk about the selection of a "Theme" for the
event, please do so, by all means ... as this could influence people's decision
on whether or not they would want to participate. (08)
3. To save the extra administrivia, I would also suggest we automatically
include people who were already on the [uos-conevne] list from the last event
into the new list of conevners, unless he/she opts out (in which case, please
e-mail me off-line to indicate so). ... Again, if you are interested to be one
of the key-participants and/or co-sponsors, please drop us (Steve, Leo and I) a
note off-line indicating your interest so that we can include you to the new
mailing-list. (09)
Thanks & regards. =ppy

OK, here's an idea to throw around: (012)
The unique aspect of the Ontolog Forum is that, rather than just
convening
conferences where people hear of others' work, the Forum actually
establishes
positions. Last year, we produced the communique that represented the
commitment
of the major upper ontology stakeholders to work together for a common
good. So,
for this coming year, what might be a similar contribution - something
that
could represent the combined voice of the community? (013)
How about: (014)
Semantic Mapping
or
How we must learn to love heterogeneity (015)
Given that we will always be in a world where multiple ontologies
coexist, what
choices do we have for mapping, or linking, concepts among these
ontologies?
Must we be content with simply having humans assert semantic
equivalence? If so,
what hope is there for automated integration? Is there potential in
using
pattern-matching algorithms? Is it realistic to believe that reasoning
systems
will be able to discover and/or prove semantic equivalence between
concepts in
different ontologies? (016)
What is the position of the Ontolog Forum? (017)
I await reaction... (018)

Peter, (020)
This summarizes well our discussion. We invite you all to participate,
and make
suggestions on the wiki on topics you'd like to see addressd this
coming year at
the as yet unnamed forum/summit. (021)
Thanks!

All, (025)
For those of us who were at FOIS-2006 and attended the NCOR plenary
meeting
there (evening of 09-Nov-2006), you might remember Steve Ray mentioning
that
NIST will be hosting their "Interoperability Week" again in 2007, and
it is
tentatively scheduled for the week of
23-April-2007 at Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. (026)
Following the success of the "Upper Ontology Summit"
that Ontolog and NIST co-organized for the same occasion earlier this
year
(Interoperability Week - Mar. 2006) we are planning to put together
another one
for April 2007. (027)
Steve Ray, Leo Obrst and I had briefly discussed the matter (while we
were all
at the FOIS conference) and decided that we will not be limiting
ourselves to
just addressing upper ontology issues this time. We also agreed that we
wanted
more than the 1.5~2.0 months worth of virtual discussion among the
conveners,
prior to the face-to-face event, to allow us to gather more input from
the
community and to better plan the program. (028)
This is a call for suggestions and participation.
Similar to our last event (please refer to:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit
<http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit> ),
we would want to form a team of "conveners", comprising (besides the
organizers), key-participants and co-sponsors. If you are interested,
please
drop us (Steve, Leo and I) a note off-line indicating your interest. We
will
start a separate mailing-list shortly to engage this group to help put
this
event together. (029)
In particular, if you were one of the conveners of the
Mar.2006 UpperOntologySummit, we look forward to your continued
participation.
Also, if your institution or company endorses the type of work we are
doing,
please start trying to convince them to be our co-sponsor. (030)
Anything else ... Steve? Leo? (031)
We look forward to hear from as many of you as possible. RSVP now. (032)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
