Hi Deborah, Chris and Guus, I would like to discuss with you the relationship between the OEP TF and the proposed SE TF. As mentioned in [1], the distinction between the two TFs is clear, i.e., OEP is more about engineering and patterns of ontologies, while SE is more about the use of ontologies in software architecture and lifecycles. The SE TF terms of reference [2] explicitly states that the scopes of the two TFs are disjoint. There are some potential connections between the two TFs. For instance, "Mapping from UML to OWL" is a suggested topic in OEP TF [3], the results from which could be applied in topics in SE TF, such as "Ontology-Driven Software Engineering". According to the meeting record [4] of the last teleconf, the proposed SE TF will be discussed in the coming teleconf. It would be helpful to understand your opinions about the relationships of the two TFs. Greetings, Jeff -- Dr. Jeff Z.
