Draft Review / Comments from the [ontolog-forum]    (B8F)

• As a group, we should still try to provide some review/comment to UBL on their 0p70 release. Since quite a few of us has gone into the material by now, could we round up a few people and try to put something together, albeit, fairly high level comments? We need to act very quickly, though, as the review deadline is 14-Apr-2003. (ref. earlier solicitations msg1 and msg2 from PeterYim)    (B8G)

• Please post comments or comment ideas below (kindly identify yourselves, and provide links where possible):    (B8H)

•    (B8I)
  • My high level comment for the UBL group would be similar to what I'm advocating for this group - reuse an existing upper level model to avoid duplication, increase standardization and future reuse potential. We could use the correspondence list I put together to illustrate our early work on the concrete impact of an existing upper level model. (ref. post) -- proposed by AdamPease    (B8J)

•    (B8K)
  • the inclusion of "What is an Ontology" in our comment/feedback would be appropriate. I'd recommend citing LeoObrst's section from the 2003-03-31 release of the OWL Use Cases and Requirements document. See post and text body. --proposed by PeterYim    (B8L)

•    (B8M)
  • we could summarize and provide a status of our current ubl-ontology project effort, and in particular, cite the three use cases we are planning to tackle, in an effort to provide a heads up to the UBL embership as to what we are embarking on, and solicit their input as to how our work and theirs (as well as ebXML's) could be better coupled to result in better synergy. --proposed by PeterYim    (B8N)
