Request for "Good" Ontologies
This message is about an effort you may wish to know about and hopefully
contribute to.
WHAT: The NeOn project is supporting an effort to collect high quality
ontologies.
I invite you to submit one or more "exemplary ontologies" to a growing
catalog in the Ontology Design Patterns Wiki.
Identify one or more ontologies that:
you have significant knowledge or experience with,
you regard as an excellent example of a "high quality" ontology
See: "What is an Exemplary Ontology" for ideas about this; edit them if
you wish.
Can you or any of your colleagues think of exemplary ontologies to add to
the catalog? Think first about the ontologies you have used that are
authored by others, rather than your own.
WHY: to make it easy for people to find good ontologies to draw
inspiration from and to emulate.
If you don't have much time, I will make it easier by talking you through
it on the phone. I'm UscholdM on Skype.
HOW: Quick Instructions:
1. Visit Ontology Design Patterns Wiki (
http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/)
2. Click the "How to register" link at lower left of the page; follow
instructions to get a login name and password.
---Or paste: http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:Register into your
browser
3. See: "What is an Exemplary Ontology" link for some criteria
---Or paste: h
ttp://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:WhatIsAnExemplaryOntology into
your browser
4. Visit Exemplary Ontology Catalogue page to make sure the ontology
is not already there.
---Or paste: http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Ontology:Main into
your browser
5. Click the Submit a new Exemplary Ontology button.
6. Fill out a form describing various aspects of the exemplary
ontology. Key fields are:
1. Name of ontology
2. Description (Short)
3. Purpose of the ontology
4. Justification (why you think this is an exemplary ontology)
5. URI of where to find the ontology
6. References One or more references to learn more.
Thanks very much,
Michael
