SUO: Request that KER article be amended
cc: James.Schoening@mail1.monmouth.army.mil
I strongly object to the wording of the promotional article
"IEEE Standard Upper Ontology: A Progess Report" by guess who?
Teknowledge.
http://projects.teknowledge.com/HPKB/Publications/KER.ps
It is unacceptable for Teknowledge to use the name of the IEEE SUO working group without permission in this article . The intent of the article is clearly to promote SUMO, and again Teknowledge has resorted to unbridled hype as a technique.
I move that the Editor of Knowledge Engineering Review be asked to retract portions of the article confusing Teknowledge's inhouse ontology development with the IEEE SUO WG, and the conclusion be removed entirely. It is baseless (or at least based only on self-citation), biased, and no permission has beed requested or granted by this group for such a conclusion as to the maturity of any documents. The best that has been claimed is that these docs are only a 'start'.

I am noting the many many incidents where Teknowledge has tried to make SUMO appear to be an IEEE standard.
