= Ontology Summit 2012: Ontology for Big Systems  =


== Purpose ==
This Summit is '''co-organized by [[Ontolog]], [[NIST]], [[NCOR]], [[NCBO]], [[IAOA]] & [[NCO_NITRD]]''', and is the 7th in the series of 3-month open annual events, by and for the Ontology Community and their collaborators.


# To ensure that the Ontolog Community of Practice stays focused on its mission and principles, as described in the Ontolog Charter.  
see: '''[[OntologySummit2012_Communique]]''', our '''[http://ontolog.cim3.net/OntologySummit/2012/ Website]''', and '''OntologySummit'''
# To ensure that the Ontolog Community thrives, succeeds, and grows as an active contributor to progress in the areas of its mission
# To support Ontolog as an effective, open, independent, and collaborative, knowledge-building and knowledge-sharing community.

# To serve as a resource for high level advice, guidance, and assistance to specific Ontolog activities (such as committees, special projects, working groups, seminars, workshops, and extended series of the same)
== What's New  ==
# To prioritize Ontolog efforts and resources in accordance with this mission.
# To undertake strategic planning and review on behalf of the Ontolog Community.
# To serve as a decision-making body of last resort, when a decision is required and the Ontolog Community of Practice is unable to reach a decision by consensus, or when specific Ontolog activities are unable to do so by the processes they have designated.
# To meet on a regular basis to review the status and needs of Ontolog and its activities and to take actions needed in support of the same.

# Agreements and decisions under discussion by the Board shall normally be reached by consensus. However, after initial discussion, any Trustee present, may call for a vote to be taken. In the event that the votes are equal, the Chair of the meeting shall have the deciding vote.
** Ref. '''[[OntologySummit2012_Communique]]'''
# It is expected that most meetings will operate on an informal basis. However, there may arise difficult or controversial discussions where this would be inappropriate.

# Each individual Trustee performs that role as an independent individual and not as a representative of any other party.
# If a decision or action to be taken by the Board concerns an organization in which a Trustee has a vested interest, or concerns a close colleague or relation of a Trustee, the affected Trustee must, at minimum, disclose this relationship to the remainder of the Board. If the decision or action requires a vote by the Board, the affected Trustee should not participate in, or have access to individual votes given during, that vote.
# If a Trustee has an interest, other than that of the general Ontolog Community of Practice, in a decision or action to be taken by the Board, the Trustee should disclose that interest to the Board. The remainder of the Board as a whole will then determine whether or not the situation presents a Conflict of Interest, such that the Trustee in question should be recused from consideration and action on the matter. General (anonymized) summaries and outcomes of such cases should be documented and collected by the board, forming a set of precedent rulings that may be referred to in the future in the identification of Conflicts and Non-Conflicts.

= Ontology Summit 2012 Theme: "Ontology for Big Systems"  =
 
== Description, Goals & Objectives  ==
 
This year's Ontology Summit is titled "Ontology for Big Systems" and seeks to explore, identify and articulate how ontological methods can bring value to the various disciplines required to engineer a "big system." The term "big system" is intended to cover a large scope that includes many of the terms encountered in the media such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data big data], complex techno-socio-economic systems, intelligent or smart systems, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing cloud computing], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net-centric netcentricity] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence collective intelligence]. Established disciplines that fall within the summit scope include (but not limited to) systems engineering, software engineering, information systems modelling, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining data mining].
 
The principal goal of the summit is to bring together and foster collaboration between the ontology community, systems community, and stakeholders of some of the "big systems." Together, the summit participants will exchange ideas on how ontological analysis and ontology engineering might make a difference, when applied in these "big systems."  We will aim towards producing a series of recommendations describing how ontologies can create an impact; as well as providing illustrations where these techniques have been, or could be, applied in domains such as bioinformatics, electronic health records, intelligence, the smart electrical grid, manufacturing and supply chains, earth and environmental, e-science, cyberphysical systems and e-government. As is traditional with the Ontology Summit series, the results will be captured in the form of a communique, with expanded supporting material provided on the web.
 
== Process & Deliverables  ==
 
This is our 7th annual [[OntologySummit|Ontology Summit]] season. Similar to our last 6 summits, this [[OntologySummit|Ontology Summit]] will comprise of 3 months of virtual discourse (over our archived mailing lists) and virtual panel sessions (over augmented conference calls), and culminate in a 2-day face-to-face workshop/symposium held on ''April 12 & 13, 2012'' at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the greater Washington, DC Area (Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA to be exact) during which we, among other things, will distill our thoughts into a collaboratively developed communique.

Ontology Summit 2012 Theme: "Ontology for Big Systems"

Description, Goals & Objectives

This year's Ontology Summit is titled "Ontology for Big Systems" and seeks to explore, identify and articulate how ontological methods can bring value to the various disciplines required to engineer a "big system." The term "big system" is intended to cover a large scope that includes many of the terms encountered in the media such as big data, complex techno-socio-economic systems, intelligent or smart systems, cloud computing, netcentricity and collective intelligence. Established disciplines that fall within the summit scope include (but not limited to) systems engineering, software engineering, information systems modelling, and data mining.

The principal goal of the summit is to bring together and foster collaboration between the ontology community, systems community, and stakeholders of some of the "big systems." Together, the summit participants will exchange ideas on how ontological analysis and ontology engineering might make a difference, when applied in these "big systems." We will aim towards producing a series of recommendations describing how ontologies can create an impact; as well as providing illustrations where these techniques have been, or could be, applied in domains such as bioinformatics, electronic health records, intelligence, the smart electrical grid, manufacturing and supply chains, earth and environmental, e-science, cyberphysical systems and e-government. As is traditional with the Ontology Summit series, the results will be captured in the form of a communique, with expanded supporting material provided on the web.

Process & Deliverables

This is our 7th annual Ontology Summit season. Similar to our last 6 summits, this Ontology Summit will comprise of 3 months of virtual discourse (over our archived mailing lists) and virtual panel sessions (over augmented conference calls), and culminate in a 2-day face-to-face workshop/symposium held on April 12 & 13, 2012 at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the greater Washington, DC Area (Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA to be exact) during which we, among other things, will distill our thoughts into a collaboratively developed communique.
