&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;= [[OntologySummit2007|Ontology Summit 2007]]: [[OntologySummit2007_Process]] proposal-2  =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* First proposed: [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] / 2007.02.15 &lt;br /&gt;
* formally adopted at the 20007.03.20 summit organizing committee meeting &lt;br /&gt;
** ref: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2007_03_20#nidVCW &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== A 6-Step Process  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 1. '''Identify constituency representative''' &lt;br /&gt;
** volunteers, recommendations, ... &lt;br /&gt;
** see our developing list of communities that will form our constituencies [[OntologySummit2007_DefinitionsOfOntology|here]]. &lt;br /&gt;
** with help from a survey (see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Process/Draft2#nidUFO draft-2 survey questions and form] below) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 2. '''collect ontology (or ontology-related) terms used in each constituency''' &lt;br /&gt;
** with a specific e-mail thread for each constituency &lt;br /&gt;
*** use of the e-mail forum may help reduce duplication of efforts &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 3. '''collect representative ontology (or ontology-like) artifacts from each constituency''' &lt;br /&gt;
** with a specific e-mail thread for each constituency &lt;br /&gt;
*** use of the e-mail forum may help reduce duplication of efforts &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 4. '''Constructing a categorization / typology framework[4] &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 5. '''Categorize &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 6. '''Authoring the Communique &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;''' &lt;br /&gt;

Updating from the [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Process/Draft1#nidU6O Survey draft-1] with our ConferenceCall_2007_02_15 and subsequent input. Key changes include:  (ref. [[ConferenceCall_2007_02_15|discussion]]) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* we ask representatives from each constituency: &lt;br /&gt;
** what ''value'' do they see &amp;quot;ontology&amp;quot; bringing to their work &lt;br /&gt;
** what ''issues'' have been encountered &lt;br /&gt;
*** specific problems they need help with &lt;br /&gt;
*** how they envision those problem can be resolved (say, on a community scale) &lt;br /&gt;
** On the ''ontology or ontology-like artifacts'', we try to capture (ref. AlanBond's [http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontology-summit/2007-02/msg00016.html post]): &lt;br /&gt;
*** 1. The community or communities, who have knowledge of the subject, express the ideas and use the knowledge. &lt;br /&gt;
*** 2. The theory or language which is used to express the knowledge. &lt;br /&gt;
*** 3. The expressed and codified knowledge and its applications in the field. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* we make the survey a (at least) 2-round exercise &lt;br /&gt;
** '''Round-1''': done mainly with the survey form -- we try to: &lt;br /&gt;
*** engage 'conveners' (get people to respond first ... therefore, respondants should be able to get through the survey quickly.) &lt;br /&gt;
*** have them identify the constituency (constituencies) they are representing &lt;br /&gt;
**** we encourage people who straddle multiple constituencies return more than one completed form &lt;br /&gt;
*** for each individual constituency: attempt to capture the 'value', 'issues', 'specific problem' where help is needed, and 'envisaged community solutions'. &lt;br /&gt;
*** optionally, try to identify the very conspicuous 'ontology or ontology-like artifacts' for a constituency &lt;br /&gt;
**** and possibly they likely will those artifacts be referred to as 'ontologies' within the lingo of the various communities &lt;br /&gt;
** '''Round-2''' will be conducted after we manage to identify and associate representatives to various constituencies. We will then: &lt;br /&gt;
*** enumerate the 'ontology or ontology-like artifacts' (for each constitutency) &lt;br /&gt;
*** get referenced 'definitions' of what an 'ontology' means to specific constituency (or communities therein) &lt;br /&gt;
** '''Subsequent Rounds''' will be conducted in order to place survey entities into the adopted framework (which has been developed in parallel) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
