References to successful ontology projects (2C61)
Funding paths (2C62)
Issues Related to Modification (2C63)
2BSE "computer science" to "computing" (2C64)
2ATR "applying ontologies to the solution of real and complex problems" (2C65)
2BSE move to 2ATR (2C66)
skills are developed not taught (2C67)
'ontology" --> "applied ontology" and/or "ontological engineering" or "computational ontology" or "formal ontology" (2C68)
"technology" to "semantic technology" (2C69)
Clarify the definition of "semantic technology" (2C6A)
references to commercial products and endeavors (2C6B)
institution to organization (2C6C)
Justify the comment "There is a high demand for ontologists" (2C6D)
- examples from biomedical domains (2C6E)
- 51 government projects containing the word "ontology" (2C6F)
Programs at the graudate level are not enough -- we need undergraduate courses/ programs (2C6G)
- intergrating ontologies into current undergrad courses (2C6H)
We need to train more than ontologists -- also need management training (2C6I)
Emphasis on soft skills in ontology design projects (2C6J)
Need to be pragmatic in the communique (2C6K)
Keep in mind the published version in Applied Ontology journal (2C6L)
What does an ontologist bring to a project? (2C6M)
