= Ontolog Workshop at the  7th International Prot&eacute;g&eacute; Conference - July 6, 2004  =

== Workshop Title: Extending Enterprise Ontologies: Levels, Limits, and Tensions  ==

* Co-organizers: [[BobSmith|Bob Smith]] & [[KurtConrad|Kurt Conrad]] 

== Rationale / Solicitations  ==

* 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 (Kurt Conrad) 
*** Extending Protege to Import and Export SUMO KIF (Pat Cassidy) 
*** 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 (Peter P. Yim) 

*  
** 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.

== Agenda & Proceedings  ==

=== Agenda  ===

* What follows is a tentative schedule. The presentation titles, for example, are subject to revision by the authors.  We are targeting 20 minutes for each presentation with 10 minutes for follow-up discussion and "speaker switching logistics."  Please forward any questions, issues, or corrections to [[KurtConrad|Kurt Conrad]] or [[BobSmith|Bob Smith]], as appropriate.
