	== Discussion ==		== Discussion ==
			12:05:48 Mike Peters : I'm a recent member. The Summits and the forum record are incredible resources you all have created. I use it to build world-model AI from.
			* Jake Waas (screwlisp) : 👍
			* Alex Shkotin : 👍

			12:11:26 Steve Ray : Isn’t that 500,000?
			* Ken Baclawski : Yes, of course it is 500,000 views for all summits. 50,000 or so is for one summit.
			* Phil Jackson : What's the average number of views for a single session of a summit?
			** Ken Baclawski : I have graphs and statistics that I will try to share. As there are around 20 sessions per summit, the average number of views per session is 2,500. However, the variance from one session to another is very high.

			12:12:00 Marco Neumann : also covid

			12:12:02 julianvincent : I’ve been a member but didn’t know about these ‘Summit’s. I’ve been building an ontology to describe and define biomimetics and met Judith a few years ago. But mainly working on a lonely island with people sailing by saying “Why??” so I’m autodidactical and ignorant. I come for enlightenment!
			* Mike Peters : 👍
			* Jake Waas (screwlisp) : 👍
			* janet singer : 👍

			12:18:47 Alican Tüzün : you can download and open but not on chrome

			12:33:30 TS : Julian, The Industrial Ontologies Foundry now incorporates the ontological work of the Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry Council (BMIC). If you would like to learn more see https://oagi.org/pages/industrial-ontologies.
			* Mike Peters : 👍

			12:41:17 Gary Berg-Cross : To cover the range of the semantic spectrum I like the term "semantic resources."
			* Gary Berg-Cross : Repositories for modules of ontology design patterns are also important.
			** Mike Peters : 👍

			12:50:15 TS : Michael, why didn’t you mention the Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF) as organization developing a disciplined and standards based approach to ontology development since you were a founding member?

			13:03:43 Mike Peters : I think the rapid rise in recent AI will depend in the future on the use of ontology and its interoperability. Its a big challenge

			13:03:51 Ravi Sharma : It is a great pleasure to be part of our 20 year celebration
			* Jake Waas (screwlisp) : 👍

			13:05:10 Ravi Sharma : remembering Peter yim, Doug Lenat and Mathew west and remembering all others who are near retirement and acknowledging their contributions
			* Jake Waas (screwlisp) : 👍
			* Mike Peters : 👍

			13:06:14 Ravi Sharma : Going forward, will ontologies be not lost in AI but stand to improve knowledge and its management
			* Jake Waas (screwlisp) : 👍
			* Mike Peters : 👍

			13:08:56 TS : I would like to take a poll on how people interpret the notion ‘Identifier’. Do you interpret an ‘Identifier’ distinguishing a single (unique) entity or possibly distinguishing more than one entity?

			13:12:58 Mike Peters : I treat all upper ontologies as distinct worldviews in the world-model AI. Upper ontologies are not essential for modeling the real world.

			== Statistics ==
			My presentation ([https://ontologforum.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/OntologySummit2026/Retrospective/OntologySummitRetrospective--KenBaclawski_20260225.mp4 Ken Baclawski Video Recording] and [https://ontologforum.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/OntologySummit2026/Retrospective/OntologySummitRetrospective--KenBaclawski_20260225.pdf Slides]) pointed out that the Ontolog Forum website is a rich source of ontology-related documents, but that there are some disadvantages:
			* Includes much that is incomplete or misleading, especially the older material.
			* Access to ontologforum.org can be slow because of the competition from all the bots.

			The presentation slides show the accesses to the documents and videos in the Ontolog Summit repository. The charts are useful for comparing the various summits with each other, and for the trends over time. However, these charts only show repository accesses. The charts do not show the popularity of YouTube videos or the summit documents on the Ontolog Forum website.

			The number of accesses to content on the Ontolog Forum website is more than 400K requests per day or an average of over 4 requests/sec. However, the vast majority of the requests are by bots and crawlers, especially gpt bots. Only around 10% are from people (or at least not from browsers that self-identify as being bots or crawlers or gpt). This is over 40K requests per day or around 1 request every 2 seconds (around 15M/year).
