Preparation Work Material

Protégé 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.
