Apologies for
cross-postings. Final Call for
Participation: 2008 Ontology Summit, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, April 28-29,
2008: Towards an Open Ontology Repository Monday,
April 21st is the closing day for registration for the Summit if you
plan to attend in person. This is because the meeting is being held at a
government facility where preregistration is required. Go to http://www.mel.nist.gov/div826/msid/sima/interopweek/meetings.htm
to register. From: Steve Ray
[mailto:ray@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On
behalf of the Ontolog Forum, the National Center for
Ontological Research, and NIST, I would like to invite you to participate in
this year’s Ontology Summit face-to-face workshop, which is scheduled for
April 28-29, 2008, as part of NIST’s annual “Interoperability
Week” dedicated to a spectrum of issues surrounding effective exchange of
information. The
theme of the 2008 Ontology Summit this year is the vision of an Open Ontology
Repository. This vision forms the basis of the Open Ontology Repository
community, and this year's summit will support their effort to produce such a
repository (or set of repositories) by serving as a venue - both virtual and
face-to-face - in which many of the issues relating to the design,
implementation, and ongoing use of an ontology repository can be discussed and
ultimately resolved. In particular, these issues will include the themes of the
2006 and 2007 Ontology Summits (Upper Ontologies, and a framework for classification
of ontologies, respectively), and this year's summit will thus also provide an
opportunity to revisit the conclusions reached at those two prior meetings. Because
NIST is a government facility, pre-registration for the physical meeting is required.
Please visit http://www.mel.nist.gov/div826/msid/sima/interopweek/meetings.htm
before April 21st to register. There is no registration fee. We
have already begun addressing the issues through an on-line discussion, which
you can catch up with at http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2008.
The workshop on April 28th is simply the culmination of this
process, so please jump in right away. Steven
