About this resource

This Recommended Reading list is a work in progress and will evolve over the course of OntologySummit2012 from community input.

Experimentally, references suggested by the community will be added to an online library, hosted at Zotero.org and belonging to the OntologySummit2012 Zotero Group. The group home page is at https://www.zotero.org/groups/ontologysummit2012. The Library view, best for viewing the items in Track-aligned collections and subcollections, is accessible directly at https://www.zotero.org/groups/ontologysummit2012/items/collectionKey/CMDDWSCG. This group library is viewable by anyone (public), editable by any member of the group. If you are a summit participant, are not yet a group member, and would like to be one, please send an email message, including the email address at which you'd prefer to receive an invitation to join the group, to amanda-dot-vizedom-at-gmail-dot-com.

All summit members are invited and encouraged to contribute to the group library directly. However, no one is required to do so in order to see or contribute recommended readings. For convenience, especially of those who prefer not to use a separate tool, text bibliographies will be exported regularly and updated here. Other formats, including metadata-rich formats for use with other tools, can also be exported from Zotero. If you have a particular format request, please let us know and we'll try to include it in the regular export routine.

[Note: Beyond contributing, as all are encouraged to do, some additional-responsibility volunteers would be most welcome. The exporting task can probably be done more smoothly and effectively by someone with more tool and/or digital curation experience. Transferring references from summit email and chat, when the suggester doesn't wish to add them directly, could use an extra hand or two -AmandaVizedom]
