Ontologizing Ontolog ContentApril 20, 2006 Sketch #1 A Roadmap to an Ontolog Thesaurus Bob Smith, Ph.D. Bob@1TallTrees.com CSU/Tall Tree Labs Sketch 1
Observations • Denise Bedford’s inventory of content indicates a very rich collection; • Many different disciplines represented; • Implies a great diversity of meanings; • And an opportunity to consider: • Building on the Upper Ontology Summit treaty and next steps; • Developing a Taxo-Thesaurus project and “conforming” schema as a Roadmap/Decision Scenario using existing Ontological Roadmaps. Sketch 1
What questions to ask?What each answer might imply? • Where are “we” now and where do we want or need to evolve in terms of an Ontology Roadmap? • Jim Hendler believes…..[ SemTech 06] • Leo Obrst believes…. [ Ontolog Forum 1-12-06] • Elisa Kendall & Debra McGuiness believes…Ontology 101 Revised [ SemTech 06 ] • What resources does it take to move from one level to the next level? • Likely m with probability of p… • In Healthcare IT, the Blackford Middleton $78 Billion advantage from transitioning US Healthcare from level 1 to 4 • NASA Technology Readiness Level topics; OMB topics Sketch 1
Project Proposal part 1 • 1. Background issues: • Estimated Project Time and Effort (SIMPLE, 2-3 people, 10 hrs over 2-5 weeks??) • Scope and Audience: Users and their audience ( Domain List including MBAs as well as the usual AI, Linguistics, Logic, Math, Ontology domains) • Prior Efforts and Results (Google Search; Protégé Wiki, UM, Etc.) • http://ps1.cim3.net/ps.php?theurl=http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-webont-req-20040210/#purp290 • Current funded inititiatives ( IST Athena; IBM; SAP; Oracle, etc.) • http://www.sap.com/company/research/bpmsi/athena.epx Sketch 1
Project Proposal Part 2 • 2. Short Requirements Statement and Architectural Assumptions • Performance expectations (3-5 competency questions) • Alignments with related projects and Orchestration Mechanics of collaborative initiatives • Use Case examplars from W3C Ontology Best Practices? (N-Aries?) Sketch 1
Project Proposal Part 3 • 3. Thesaurus "Product" Design • Selection criteria for Schema • 1 • 2 • Selection criteria for Schema Tools • 1 • 2 • Acquisition of primary and secondary Tool Set Sketch 1
Project Proposal Part 4 • 4. Results • Ambiguity reductions • PoC (Proof of Concept) or FoC cycle • Demonstration of Competency cycle • 5. Future Work and Contingencies • Workshop at Protégé 2006 Call for Participation • OASIS Interoperability Conference Sketch 1
