[iaoa-general] Ontology Summit 2016: Framing the Conversation

[Michael Gruninger]

A reminder of this Thursday's session for Ontology Summit 2016:

Our goal is to build a common framework which will facilitate  
discussions regarding the role of ontologies within semantic  
interoperability ecosystems.

We will discuss themes, models, processes, functionality,  
considerations and measures which shed light on or help to communicate  
the Semantic Interoperability Ecosystem to a broader audience.

We will purposely focus on the role of ontologies within these  
frameworks. Examples will be used to illustrate our points.

It is hoped that the results of this session will help to frame and  
target the discussion in the domain-specific tracks to follow in the  
coming weeks. Together with findings from previous summits, this  
framework will provide a foundation and help direct conversation.

The speakers are:

John Sowa (VivoMind Research)
Krzysztof Janowicz (Geography Department, University of California,  
Santa Barbara)
Lalit Patil (Ford Motor Company)
Hans Polzer (Consultant)
