- Convener Grouping: Summit participants ("conveners") are dispersed into 'teams' (constituencies[1]), each representing major communities within the broader ontology community space     (1B1)
- we can use a survey[2] to help identify which team an individual participant is affiliated with     (1B1A)
- an analysis of the survey results can also provide clues as to whether we have balanced representation in different constituencies, and if not, remedial 'recruitment' actions may be taken     (1B1B)
- a participant can choose to be in more than one team     (1B1C)
- each team is encourage to elect a champion to help coordinate and track progress (this is optional, though)     (1B1D)
- Understanding the Community Vocabulary: Each constituency will:     (1B2)
- identify the context (vantage point) from which their inputs are derived; there may be needs to create further subdivisions. (For example: if "Biomedical informatics practitioners" is one such constituency, and it turns out that that the "bio-informaticists" and the medical-informaticists" don't share the same vocabularies, then they may want to subdivide and collect inputs for each of these sub-teams.     (1B2A)
- (each team) or each sub-team will come up with the gloss for what do they mean when they use the term "ontology"     (1B2B)
- identify other ontology-related terms that is in their constituency's common vocabulary,     (1B2C)
- and come up with the gloss for each of these terms     (1B2C1)
- also assess the Likelihood that someone may refer to each of these terms as "ontology"     (1B2C2)
- ( 0 = totally unlikely; 5 = some would; 9 = almost always )     (1B2C2A)
- identify conspicuous ontology (or ontology-like) artifacts[3] within their constituency     (1B2D)
- the above is discovered through dialog over the [ontology-summit] discussion forum, aided (where necessary) by the survey[2] and continuously summarized and synthesized and posted to the wiki to keep all participants in sync.     (1B2E)
- each constituency will complete and vet their glossary and list of ontology (or ontology-like) artifacts     (1B2F)
- this is done between all coneveners     (1B3A)
- and done in parallel with the virtual discourse described in 2. above     (1B3B)
- Categorize     (1B4)
- place terms and artifacts into the above categorization framework (by each constituency)     (1B4A)
- reach shared understanding on typology     (1B4B)
- Authoring the Communique     (1B5)
- review, modify, enhance     (1B5B)
- adopt (with list of endorsers)     (1B5C)
- release / publish     (1B5D)
[2] survey - sample of a completed survey that may augment the above process - see: draft survey
    (1C2)
[3] ontology (or ontology-like) artifacts for each constituency - see [ http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Process/Draft1#nidU6N sample below]
    (1C3)
- we need both name and version (as different versions of the artifact with the same name may be placed differently in the categorization framework, and hence their typology may differ     (1C6A)
