Welcome to the Ontology Summit 2010 review and follow-up action planning session - Thu 15-Apr-2010
- Chair: Dr. Steve Ray and Dr. Fabian Neuhaus
The goal of this session is to revisit the last Ontology Summit and plan ahead for the future. We
will discuss what worked and what did not work during the 3~4 months of Ontology Summit 2010, and get
ideas on how to make next year's Ontology Summit even better. This meeting is also an opportunity to
suggest topics for next year's Ontology Summit. Further, this meeting gives us an opportunity to
revisit the action items listed at the end of the Communique and to identify members of the
community who would be interested in participating in projects to address them.

Peter P. Yim: For Ontology Summit 2010 - What went right? ... please type them in
Peter P. Yim: Full 3-month period ... from the Launch in Dec-2009 to the Symposium in Mar-2010
Rex Brooks: I think the survey needed a bit more work to get more focused results.
Fabian Neuhaus: Rex: which survey are you referring to?
Rex Brooks: I think that having the surveys was a great improvement, though.
Rex Brooks: I didn't take the real time delphi, but the other two needed to focus in on specific
questions.
Amanda Vizedom: I think surveys added a lot, *and* along Rex's line, would have added even more if
planned and launched further ahead of time.
Rex Brooks: @Amanda, I agree that working on the surveys perhaps a month ahead of when it started
this year would give those creating the surveys more time to get feedback on focus.
Arturo Sanchez: @SteveRay: I enjoyed very much the F2F meeting. We all had the opportunity to share
our perspectives as part of collaboratively composing the communique. It was also great I was able
to meet in person some of the folks I interacted with via conference calls before the F2F.
Amanda Vizedom: I think we improved outreach, *and* have a lot more room for improvement there.
Peter P. Yim: I guess we are doing "What needs improvements?" too now ...
Antony Galton: There was quite a lot of uncertainty at the beginning about the different track and
what they meant - but I think we more or less sorted that out eventually.
Fabian Neuhaus: @Antony: I agree, this was very difficult this year to slice up the discussion in
tracks.
Arturo Sanchez: @RexBrooks: please bear in mind some of us are not trained in preparing surveys ...
Surveys are great tools for mining information from communities and it would be great if people with
experience in preparing surveys could volunteer
Rex Brooks: @Arturo: I agree. I think that searching for contacts in survey management and perhaps
market research would pay big benefits.
Rex Brooks: We could trade benefits to the surveyors since ontological-semantic questions could be
helpful to advancing the state of their art, especially if we can educate them about Linked Open
Data for instance.
Rex Brooks: @Steve, that's why I suggested a benefit for the professional surveyors.
Eric Lindahl: While I've loosely followed the development, it would be nice to have an ongoing
developing 'Getting Started' artifact providing link lists and glossary/overview for people new to
ontology development. E.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=ontology+training+site%3Acim3.net
Eric Lindahl: A concrete environment, ontology sandbox would be good. Rather just downloading
Protege. Example texts gathered to act as ontology exemplars (like the wine ontology)
Eric Lindahl: What site will provide these materials? Are there copyright problems?
anonymous2 morphed into JulitaBermejoAlonso
anonymous1 morphed into Pierre Grenon
Arturo Sanchez: Did we hear an UK-style ambulance passing by?
JulitaBermejoAlonso: @Arturo: French ambulance, sorry, I did not unmute the phone. Running late with my kids
Arturo Sanchez: @Julita: ahh! No worries ... I think it is great we can hear street noises from
far-away places in real time. De dónde eres, Julita?
JulitaBermejoAlonso: @Arturo: Spanish, but living in France after the States. University in Madrid,
though. A long story.
Arturo Sanchez: @Julita: nice meeting you
Eric Lindahl: I wonder how closely the goal of this communique is being obviated, to some extent, by
the evolution and adoption of modeling frameworks, like Eclipse Modeling Framework. EMF will likely
be the de facto toolset for 'domain interoperation', one of the main factors for ontology
development.
Eric Lindahl: Or should I say, tree rewriting.
Amanda Vizedom: FYSA, as the committee knows, I submitted a proposal to present the summit findings
at SemTech, but have not heard back and don't know whether that's likely to happen.
I think that such presentations could offer an opportunity to do some more of the bridge-building I
was talking about. I can also imagine working it in as part of a larger session or workshop
involving folks from some of the stakeholder communities, tailored perhaps to other audiences. Do
others have thoughts about particularly good venues for something like this? Next year's ISWC, for
example? Other?
anonymous1 morphed into Pierre Grenon
Eric Lindahl: It would seem that 'ontologists' learn something from the fact that Google is rather
ontology hostile'. Tools have a way of treating ontology as a rewrite problem. Concept-net,
BigTable, HBase, etc.
Pierre Grenon: It would be useful to have something between the communique and the futurist paper,
perhaps minus the particulars account of the Delphi experiment. For example, in order to approach
course production teams at the Open University, I could use a write up that explains the findings of
the summit and has enough context...
Amanda Vizedom: @Pierre - I agree, we should have this. A not-incidental side effect, if the
SemTech proposal were accepted, would be that we'd have to create one!
Peter P. Yim: @Steve: ref. the whitepaper for "State of the Future 2010" ... (while that book is not an
open publication) I will work with the Millennium Project people about allowing the open publication
of our paper (on the Ontolog website, for example)
Steve Ray: @Peter: I think that would be a good thing to pursue, in the spirit of the Ontolog Forum.
Peter P. Yim: @Steve - agree totally
Rex Brooks: @Arturo: [ref. your presentation, Arturo] I would be happy to help with a Service
Interface to the Registry because I am active in the OASIS SOA Reference Model Technical Committee,
the Reference Architecture Subcommittee and the efforts to align OASIS, Open Group and OMG SOA
efforts. So I can socialize the Registry in those venues.
Eric Lindahl: What happened to the ontology of measures? Measures seems prima facie for building
working systems. e.g. http://jscience.org/api/javax/measure/unit/package-summary.html
Peter P. Yim: @Eric - that project has now moved on and has morphed into the OASIS QUOMOS TC - see:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=quomos
Pierre Grenon: @amanda -- re. submissions; perhaps some knowledge management and/or business
informatics conference?
Rex Brooks: @Amanda: I am speaking at SemTech, and I believe I can work a mention of
the Ontology Summit and these various follow-up efforts as part of the context in which Semantic
Technology tools are developing.
Rex Brooks: @Amanda: I don't think specifically mentioning the results is a good connection, unless
you are actually presenting the results.
Amanda Vizedom: @Rex: Good to know. There are a few others from the Summit who will be speaking as
well, and if the proposal is accepted, the plan is to draw from that presences/support. It was a
late submission, however, and I really have no idea whether it is likely to be selected. But I think
it would be good to make such a presentation - between the communique and the gory details, as
Pierre suggests. So, I think it's worth thinking about other gatherings of potentially interested people.
Pierre Grenon: @amanda -- re. propaganda paper - happy to read any draft whenever they come if that helps
Amanda Vizedom: @Pierre - Count on being held to that!
Eric Lindahl: @PeterYim Thanks! @RexBrooks The market is moving more towards RESTful systems (which
subsume many web services) which is design by *convention* NOT by *contract*. This is opposed to
proving or even negotiating metadata by ontology
Rex Brooks: @Eric: A lot of RESTful applicatons are gaining traction but I wouldn't put all my eggs
in any one basket. It's a horses for courses world.
Rex Brooks: In a world of emergency management and law enforcement information exchange by contract
only will remain the case where necessary.
Eric Lindahl: @RexBrooks Having just read a 'large' government RFP, it was pushing towards RESTful.
EMF is essentially a RESTful technology. However, I do agree.
Rex Brooks: I suspect RESTful will find a receptive audience in the cloud computing world that is
developing, and we need it in the portion of the information spectrum that allows public input and
can aid immensely in emergency response.
Eric Lindahl: @RexBrooks I have some experience with HBase and Cassandra, which require little to
- no* pre-designed schema. Need a new attribute for 1 specific row, add it. No ontology required.
[ref. Arturo's suggestion of putting together a ontology education resources repository]
Eric Lindahl: This opencourseware idea is excellent.
Pierre Grenon: re. 'open source': nice if that happens, everybody should be encouraged to put their
material out. very useful from the community would be a public domain template curricular structure
against which institution specific outputs may be checked
Rex Brooks: @Arturo: Linked Open Data between registry participants could be very valuable.
Eric Lindahl: I would like to see a code.google.com project where we can check in these artifacts,
as Rex suggests.
Peter P. Yim: @Arturo ... please consider using OOR as part of your infrastructure for the "Ontology
Education and Training Registry" initiative
Rex Brooks: @Peter: I agree, combining OOR with Linked Open Data could be extremely valuable.
Arturo Sanchez: @RexBrooks: Thanks for the suggestion
Arturo Sanchez: @PeterYim: thanks, Peter ... Noted!
Steve Ray: Can someone provide a reference to SCORM (?) or other metadata?
[ ref.: Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharable_Content_Object_Reference_Model ]
Eric Lindahl: @SteveRay the first 5 google links are fairly good. US government uses SCORM quite a
bit (I've found Moodle a huge PITA, IMHO)
Eric Lindahl: Perhaps I will take it upon my self in May to create a code.google.com project (or
equivalent) where I'll check in whatever artifacts come across the 'Ontolog' desk.
Rex Brooks: @Eric: I'd be happy to check it out and use whatever I can and suggest it to the groups I work with.
Eric Lindahl: by sandbox, what is Peter referring to? Not Protege?
Rex Brooks: @Eric: I missed that. There's a sandbox in the wiki where people new to using the Ontolog
wiki can learn how to use it, but he may have been referring to something more generic.
Peter P. Yim: @Eric - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository ... the OOR
sandbox is (currently) based on the NCBO BioPortal codebase - see: http://oor-01.cim3.net/ontologies
Rex Brooks: @Peter: Ahh, yes!
Peter P. Yim: @Eric - not Protege (which is an ontology development platform) BioPortal is more of a
repository for users to "share" their ontologies (after they are developed)
Eric Lindahl: @PeterYim Thanks. I'm hoping for something like 'hg clone
http://code.google.com/p/boot-ontolog/' I'll see what I can do. Thanks again.

Antony Galton: I'm afraid I have to go now. Hope to see some of you at FOIS!
Peter P. Yim: Thank you Antony ... see you at FOIS!
Arturo Sanchez: @AntonyGalton: me too
Pierre Grenon: Could there be a notion that the programmes contemplated could perhaps become pilots
for the summit or the IAOA? This could drive the definition of programmes but also could serve as
references when trying to achieve similar things in places that are less aware of ontology at the
moment.
Peter P. Yim: Now brainstorming on "suggestions for 2011 Ontology Summit" ... please make sure you
document ALL suggestions into this chat-board (as we will need to look through these suggestions
again later in the year when we actually start organizing OntologySummit-2011
Eric Lindahl: My suggestion: Tools & Technologies. This is where the 'rubber meets the road'. IOW
where I work everyday.
Eric Lindahl: I second 'OntologyFest'
Rex Brooks: I would suggest "Applications and Tools for Practical Ontology" or "Ontology in the
Enterprise"?
Eric Lindahl: With EMF you can use the 'Ontology' right away.
Rex Brooks: I think Case Studies and a Hackathon at the face-to-face might be helpful.
Michael Grüninger: Address the question -- how are the methodologies, tools, and environments for
ontological engineering different from those for software engineering?
Eric Lindahl: In support of Arturo, I suggest systems like QVT or ATL
Peter P. Yim: please propose some "Themes" worthy of a *Summit*
Peter P. Yim: question we should ask ... by end this year ... what would be the *most* strategic issue
that this field (of ontology) should be addressing?
Rex Brooks: My thinking is that it naturally follows training new ontologists, that we look at what
they would actually be doing at work?
Arturo Sanchez: For the record. The two recommendations I voiced are: (1) Examples of systems for
which the use of ontology technology was successful and otherwise; (2) Sessions similar to
design-fest and "code-fest" from OOPSLA, which in our case would be hands-on sessions on the
design/use/testing/integration/etc of ontologies. I think this can be combined with the
Michael Grüninger suggestion.
Fabian Neuhaus: suggesting the topic: "Ontology Modularity"
Pierre Grenon: theme: good ontology
Eric Lindahl: @PierreGrenon implied 'Ontology of Utility'
Pierre Grenon: @eric: not sure I follow
Amanda Vizedom: "Ontology Practices in Context" or something, meaning: collecting info on, and
developing some collective understanding of, how ontology practices (both actual and best) vary with
elements of context such as application type, developer community, user community, large goals
(monetization vs. decision support, reuse vs. one-time-need)...
Eric Lindahl: Good is a utility function. Applies to decision support, marketing etc.
Rex Brooks: the problem with word "good" is the difference between useful (utility) versus
effectiveness (value to user for achieving objectives).
Eric Lindahl: To say 'good(Ontology) range [0..1)' (assuming it's unit). I prefer DS or rational
Rex Brooks: That's actually a valid question for an ontology of meanings.
Peter P. Yim: please also think of "involving another community" - like OntologySummit2009 when we got
the ontology and the standards communities to get together
Michael Grüninger: @Peter -- yes, bringing the ontological engineering and software engineering
together -- that is in the direction that I was thinking
Arturo Sanchez: @Peter-and-Michael: I like very much the idea!
Rex Brooks: @Michael & Peter: Me, too.
Peter P. Yim: something that is important for the two communities, as Michael suggested, bringing
together the ontology community and the software engineering community
Michael Grüninger: Ontological engineering can learn about methodologies and best practices from
Software Engineering, while Software Engineering can learn about how software integration and
model-directed architectures can be supported by the application of high quality ontologies
Rex Brooks: I think using Case Studies: successful and not is very useful for engaging other
communities like software engineering, but I wouldn't focus on SE alone. The domains that SE deals
with are equally important as end users.
Amanda Vizedom: In a way, my suggestion could integrate Pierre's (good ontology) and Arturo's (what
has worked where? & design-fest) and would have to incorporate draw from evaluation / standards.
Pierre Grenon: @Fabian: I agree this is a topic that could cause troubles
Rex Brooks: @Peter: that's what I was aiming for, combining standards for ontology and standards that
use ontologies as representations in the practical world: Case Studies.
Eric Lindahl: I submit that Utility is a better and more tractable subject, than whether a given
ontology is better than another. That presumes too much, IMHO.
Rex Brooks: @Eric: agreed!
Amanda Vizedom: @Peter - I also think the "practice in context" idea inherently brings in other communities.
anonymous morphed into JulitaBermejoAlonso
Pierre Grenon: well it could be purpose / context oriented. No absolute norms of q
Pierre Grenon: but good for a purpose. We could then include application and tool developers
Eric Lindahl: Specifically, perhaps, SizeOf is a better quality measure than Good. E.g. Equivalence
partition on KolmogorovComplexity(Ontology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity
Eric Lindahl: I disagree
Pierre Grenon: @amanda: yep, that sounds very good, but hard
Amanda Vizedom: To put my suggestion differently: We know that we have differences in views on
Methodology. Can we discover relationships between methodologies used, application/community, and
success? I think so, and it gives a way to make headway on quality & best practices without
searching for universally agreed upon, context-free principles.
Amanda Vizedom: @Pierre: Does it? It seems moderately hard but doable to me, because we could again
develop questions to elicit information to ground the discussion in. Harder to have nothing
empirical, I think, and more likely to degrade into ideological battles.
Pierre Grenon: it will be tricky to define a specific domain and less appealing to a general audience.
Amand's suggestion allows people from different domains to relate to the summit on the same level
Pierre Grenon: @amanda: I think the difficulty is primarily in diversity
Arturo Sanchez: All, I need to go now. Good session. Thank you for the feedback offered!
Dagobert Soergel: I suggest "making sense out of data" as a topic
Peter P. Yim: other possibilities is to bring together the "library science community and the ontology
community" ... another one, "enterprise architecture and ontology"
Eric Lindahl: Library science is a KR problem, right?
Rex Brooks: I wouldn't focus on any one other community, library science, software engineering, et al.
But I do think that if we did it well, it would be an opportunity to refine our skills at survey management.
Amanda Vizedom: @Peter - I guess I'm thinking about each of the cases you've suggested, plus a few --
but I'm either up a level or too impatient. Instead of delving deep into one of those pairings, I'd
like to look at the patterns. It would be natural for folks to do some deeper delving within the
pairings that might run parallel and beyond.
Peter P. Yim: @Amanda - not really - take a look at the case of OntologySummit2009 "Toward Ontology-based Standards"
(maybe we can't craft such a theme when putting other communities together with ontologists
Eric Lindahl: (aside, a scientist I worked with responded to my suggestion of ontology in software
with 'so you believe God is enumerable?')
Rex Brooks: @Eric: did you offer him an ontology of religiosity?
Rex Brooks: religiosity in software?
Eric Lindahl: @Rex we're just sorting bits in a finite string, is his point I believe.
Rex Brooks: @Eric: Ahh...
Amanda Vizedom: Perhaps one reason I think this is not harder is that I think the specific pairings
may assume uniformity that isn't there. It seems very probable to me that when you dig into any one
of these pairs, you find complexity that reflects the broader diversity.
Pierre Grenon: @amanda: yes, the risk is getting into fights, my proposal was too confrontational in
that respect, obviously people will disagree. If we start from what people do and what are their
requirements, we can perhaps have different answers of the practical utility of an ontological
approach.
Eric Lindahl: (everyone is shy all of a sudden)
Amanda Vizedom: Example: ontologies and libraries includes distinct activity- and interest- based
groups around search and retrieval, metadata and digital curation, text processing, ... more I think.
Eric Lindahl: And maybe get sponsors
Rex Brooks: @Eric: I think none of us is fond of saying things twice? Once written, twice shy.
Pierre Grenon: @amanda: too abstract, can you explain 'pairs'or give an example? (I'll be reading
upward meanwhile in case I missed something)
Pierre Grenon: oh nevermind
Eric Lindahl: I second Amanda's real world complexity POV
Eric Lindahl: General ontology design patterns for dealing with real world complexity in ontology development?
Pierre Grenon: @amanda: yes, "where can there be trade-offs" could be the theme
Eric Lindahl: Ontology design heuristics
Eric Lindahl: Does anyone use CLIPS or Flora-2 in ontology research?
Eric Lindahl: But actually they have sub-minimal ontological intersection?
Rex Brooks: I think Amanda's points can be addressed in the context of Ontology Applications and Tools:
(the domain considerations for best practices and methodologies can go in this explanatory passage.)
Doug Foxvog: The issue of people from different fields arguing, is often that they use the same terms
in different ways.
Doug Foxvog: This does not mean that either is wrong, they are labeling different concepts with the
same term.
Eric Lindahl: Semiotics (just had to say it)
JulitaBermejoAlonso: the ontology-based or ontology-driven label: what does it really mean?
Eric Lindahl: Thank you all!
Amanda Vizedom: I will try to make a clearer proposal offline.
Peter P. Yim: Thanks everyone
Eric Lindahl: So, that's the end of our Ontology party. Anyone need a ride home?
