Comments & Suggestions
(entries below are for planning purposes only) (014)
- Proposed Agenda (011)
- 2003.11.05 (Wednesday)
(024)
- 15:00 to 17:00 - Joint
session with full UBL committee (025)
- Opportunity to report our
status and solicit feedback (026)
- 17:30 to 19:00 - Tutorial
(027)
- A specific topic for this
tutorial has not been chosen, but the intent is to do something that
would be useful to both the Ontolog and UBL communities. Something
which compares and contrasts the range of formalization approaches was
discussed at the meeting. (028)
- 2003.11.06 (Thursday)
(029)
- Independent work day for
[ontolog] (030)
- We might be able to
organize another joint tutorial during lunch (perhaps something dealing
with methodology) (031)
- There is a wine and cheese
reception Thursday night. If you are planning to attend, the tradition
is to bring a wine from your "native land" (032)
- 2003.11.07 (Friday)
(033)
- Independent work day for
[ontolog] (034)
- The UBL team closes their
meeting at 13:00 (035)
- It is not expected that we
would be able to conduct another joint session on Friday, but we might
be able to recruit individuals to answer specific questions
(036)
- 2003.11.08 (Saturday) -
optional (037)
- No plans yet (038)
- Jon would not be able to
provide us with meeting space on Saturday. If we wish to continue our
meeting, we would need to make other arrangements. (039)
- Kurt may have a lead on a
conference room in San Francisco, if desired. (040)
- F2F meeting Days -
Wed-2003.11.05 thru Fri-2003.11.07; Sat-2003.11.08 tbd (047)
- Kurt will need to coordinate
with JonBosak again to re-confirm our
need of the venue on Wed. (048)
- BillMcCarthy may not be able to make
it on Wed morning (but it will try to reshuffle the schedule to make it
possible.) (049)
- Connectivity (050)
- PeterYim
& JonBosak are still working on
trying to get internet connectivity (since the place is behind the Sun
firewalls nominally, therefore, it may not be possible at all.)
(051)
- given up on trying to
get internet access ... wemake do with just laptops, a projector, a
speaker phone and a usb flash drive (--ppy/2003.10.15). (0152)
- to-do: (Kurt / Peter to draft
meeting framework) (052)
- outline our topics for
presentation to UBL (053)
- each participant to bring in
their positions/presentations for group work (054)
- invite "outside" participant
to share ideas with us (055)
- a. Presentation &
Tutorials (056)
- our presentation to UBL is
scheduled for Wed 3~5pm (057)
- tutorial to be done at Wed
5~7pm, to increase the opportunity for UBL member participation
(058)
- Bill suggests that the UBL
participants should walk away with some kind of compelling belief in
the necessity of ontological perspectives in their work. There is a lot
of wisdom in the messaging work that can be codified, and that a
top-down, ontological engineering approach is the right direction to
pursue. (059)
- topics - Kurt's suggestions:
(060)
- why formalization; what
does UBL gain from it; what does everybody else gain from it
(061)
- our overall methodology;
our formalization process (062)
- how we plan to move up
from the UBL spreadsheets -- the definitions in there (textual
definitions, even more so than the data fields) are already 80~90%
ready for conversion to KIF (ref. Kurt and Adam's assessment -
remembering that Adam's approach is to start from the natural language
semantics) (063)
- how one crafts these
definitions (that would be putting the tutorial in context)
(064)
- delivering Bill's message
- what is so compelling; how do we see ourselves moving forward; how
dio we see them (UBL) moving forward and how both parties work will
converge (065)
