Re: SUO: Procedural question




All,

        Bill asked about the end game for SUO.  As I see it, the final
objective is an IEEE-approved standard upper ontology that a significant
size and number of markets adopt. 

        He also asked about a winner amongst our growing list of starter
documents.  

        As I see it, IFF (assuming it makes progress, builds consensus,
and grows a user base) should probably split off as a separate document
with a new PAR, since it doesn't really address the current PAR.  Within
IEEE, a single working group can have multiple PARs, so the work can stay
in the SUO WG, but with a new PAR. 

        As I see it, SUMO (assuming it makes progress, builds consensus,
and grows a user base), OpenCyc, or any other contenders would either
need to merge or face off.
