Interoperability Week - Ontology Summit
Toward Ontology-Based Standards


National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Building 101, Employee Lounge
100 Bureau Drive
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 USA

April 6-7, 2009

Sponsors:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Audience:
Ontologists, standards developers.
Format:
Workshop.
Purpose:
To synergize the ontology and standards development communities by means of a communiqué in which a number of concrete challenges will be laid out. These challenges can serve as a roadmap that will galvanize both communities and bring this promising intersecting area to the attention of others.
Topics:
Representational and functional requirements of the standards community – especially manufacturing standards; capabilities of ontological approaches; identification of candidate standards that lend themselves to improvement through the incorporation of ontologies. Specific topics will be debated and decided upon during the electronic discussion period leading up to the face-to-face meeting (see http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009#nid1TSP).
