OpenOntologyRepository: OOR Content Workshop-II - Tue 2012_05_29

This is our 2nd OOR-content workshop, an effort to pick up from where we left off more than 2 years ago, to put focus on bringing together the user communities, who would be putting ontology contents into OOR instances, and to see how the OOR design and implementation can best serve their needs. This session will be devoted specifically to coordinating content among various OOR instances.

Topic: OOR Content Workshop-II: "Coordinating Content among various OOR instances"

Session Chair: MichaelGruninger (U of Toronto) & MikeDean (Raytheon-BBN)

... please also refer to proceedings from the last OOR workshop on "contents" at OOR/ConferenceCall_2010_03_12
