''This is the workspace for the co-champions to synthesize the discussion on this track.'' 

== Track Label: Content - Subtrack Label: Future  ==

Track Co-champions: [[LeoObrst|Leo Obrst]] and [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]] 

Mission: '''To provide a course or courses of content required for both professional and academic ontologist training.''' 

* We will initially focus on a breadth-first description 
* We are intent on identifying modules of knowledge/courses that are focused on competencies expected for ontologist education 
** That could be addressed at different levels of certification/accreditation, with some optional and some required at each level 
** Example levels: associate degree (undergraduate 2 years), undergraduate degree (undergraduate 4 years), terminal professional master's degree (graduate), pre-PhD master's degree (graduate), professional non-academic certification 

=== Pertinent questions  ===

* What are the content topics (knowledge and skills), i.e., the competencies, necessary for training and educating an ontologist? 
* What does an ontologist need to learn and in what order? 
* What are the content topics useful or optionally desired for training and educating an ontologist? 
* Is there a spectrum of ontologist positions (e.g., from taxonomist to developer of logical theories) and if so, what is the content and competencies required for each?
