OntologySummit2010: Future "Content" - Synthesis of the Discussion (25DO)
This is the workspace for the co-champions to synthesize the discussion on this track. (25DP)
Track Label: Content - Subtrack Label: Future (25DQ)
Track Co-champions: LeoObrst and MichaelGruninger (25DR)
Mission: To provide a course or courses of content required for both professional and academic ontologist training. (25F0)
- We will initially focus on a breadth-first description (25ES)
- We are intent on identifying modules of knowledge/courses that are focused on competencies expected for ontologist education (25ET)
- That could be addressed at different levels of certification/accreditation, with some optional and some required at each level (25EU)
- Example levels: associate degree (undergraduate 2 years), undergraduate degree (undergraduate 4 years), terminal professional master's degree (graduate), pre-PhD master's degree (graduate), professional non-academic certification (25EV)
Pertinent questions: (25F1)
- What are the content topics (knowledge and skills), i.e., the competencies, necessary for training and educating an ontologist? (25EW)
- What does an ontologist need to learn and in what order? (25EX)
- What are the content topics useful or optionally desired for training and educating an ontologist? (25EY)
- Is there a spectrum of ontologist positions (e.g., from taxonomist to developer of logical theories) and if so, what is the content and competencies required for each? (25EZ)
Synthesis: (25DT)
(... coming!) (25DU)
