Ontology Summit 2008
Monday and Tuesday, April 28-29
Technical POC: Steve Ray, NIST

The theme of the 2008 Ontology Summit 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 the 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.

Agenda
 

This workshop will build on the implications of the National Response Framework, for Identity Management within a global context, and facilitate engagement by multiple communities including: identity management, enterprise architecture, disaster preparedness and response, ontology, modeling & simulation, and international digital standards (i.e. Open Archival Information System) to advance emergent national readiness.

Agenda

Teleconferencing and venue information

This meeting is being organized to bring the research community together, increase communication among academia, industry, and government by creating a forum for the exchange of ideas, and to enhance transfer of technology.  The workshop aims to define a research agenda for the future, and to define the types of resources (2D and 3D databases, evaluation methodologies, algorithms, and interoperability) that would be useful to stimulate more research in the field.  The workshop is also to determine the type of role government can play to help stimulate this activity.
