=== Prot&eacute;g&eacute; Workshop Proposal and Call for Participation  ===

* Date / Time: Tuesday afternoon, July 6th, 2004 
* Location: In the NIH Campus(Building 45:?) 
* Title "Extending Enterprise Ontologies: Levels, Limits, and Tensions" 

* Rationale: 
** The Ontolog Forum is an open, platform-neutral community, focused on issues associated with the engineering of business ontologies 
*** One of its main projects has been to develop a formal ontology based on the UBL (OASIS - Universal Business Language) schemas 
*** The community has used Protege in a number of ways. Some were successful. Some were not. 
*** This workshop will report lessons learned, describe future projects, and other topics of general interest to the Protege / Ontological Engineering / eBusiness community 
** Those with an interest in contributing to these general discussions of are encourage to attend and submit additional papers for consideration 
** The ontolog community wishes to take this opportunity to commence dialog with those who have the expertise in the ("lossless" or "lossy") conversion of Protege-based ontologies to OWL, RDF/S, XML/XSD, UML/UML-Class-Diagram, UML2/OCL, SQL, ... etc. 

* Topics of Interest: 

*  
** Scheduled Topics (Actual titles may change....) 
*** Management of Ontology Projects that Rely on Virtual, Volunteer Teams (KurtConrad) 
*** Extending Protege to Import and Export SUMO KIF (PatCassidy) 
*** Using Protege to Formalize the REA (Resources-Events-Agents) Ontology ([[BillMcCarthy]]) 
*** Development of ontology-based meta-standards in an effort to introduce ontological engineering methodologies into eBusiness standards bodies (PeterYim) 

*  
** Solicited Topics 
*** Collaborative infrastructures for distributed ontology development 
*** Tools for modeling and visualizing business ontologies 
*** Strategies for engaging and leveraging subject matter expertise 
*** Modeling business processes and associated knowledge flows 
*** Translating formalized models between representation standards and tools 
*** Elevating the semantic richness of implicit conceptual models 
*** Application of ontological engineering principles to the integration of existing database schemas 
*** Training people to contribute to an ontological engineering project 
*** Protege vs KIF: The Options and Tradeoffs 

* Who should be coming? 
** individuals and corporate personnel interested in the research & development of E-Business standards through the use of ontological methodologies. 
** All members of the ontolog community, active members as well as observers. 
** those who are thinking of joining the [ontolog-forum] of finding out what it is doing.
