In this talk I will briefly present highlights of the new standards and discuss where the technology and data seem to be taking us, and what role they will play as the web of data continues to evolve.

This talk will describe some of the lessons learned along the way, ranging from representation of knowledge, to choice of what knowledge to represent, to knowledge acquisition methodologies, to reasoning strategies and tactics. It will showcase some of the applications that forced Cyc to grapple with large amounts of data, multiple sources, contradictory information, and so on, which have largely come from the intelligence community and (perhaps surprisingly, to this audience) from the clinical research community. Dr. Lenat's work in machine learning won the Computers and Thought Award; he helped establish the AAAI, and is a Fellow of the AAAI and of the AAAS. Prior to Cyc, Dr. Lenat was a computer science faculty member at Stanford and CMU, and he will briefly touch on a few "learning experiences" he had back then, that laid the foundation for his being able to make the mistakes of the last 25 years. 10:00 - 10:20 Coffee Break 10:20 - 11:40 Plenary Paper Session 10:20 - 11:00 An Ontological Approach to Information Access Control and Provenance paper Bill Andersen and Fabian Neuhaus Abstract 11:00 - 11:40 Course of Action Planning Ontology paper Timothy Darr Abstract 11:40 - 01:20 Lunch Break 01:20 - 02:00 Plenary Paper Session 01:020 - 02:00 Higher Order Uncertainty and Evidential Ontologies paper Justin Brody Abstract 02:00 - 02:40 Plenary Discussion NCOR Barry Smith 02:40 - 03:00 Coffee Break 03:00 - 04:00 Panel Discussion The Future of the OIC Leo Obrst 04:00 - 04:10 Wrap Up
