Annotations of data headings vs. Annotations of data column content
1. One big chunk of the agenda for the training event, I think, should
be devoted to ontology building, by analogy with our work with Bill in
Buffalo on creating the FacialFeature ontology.
We could choose 2 or 3 similar topics, and work with the people in the
room on building ontologies for each. In this way, they learn what is
involved, and we all end up with more ontology content to work with in
the future.
2. There seemed to be an interest in the topic of ontology
coordination, which we got to at the end of the last training event. I
think we should push this further by working out exactly what ontology
content we need to build, and how a division of labor would work.
3. The idea of ontology views (ontodog, idiosyncratic terms ...) and
of the relation between ontology and data should be pushed further --
(a) to educate the participants, (b) to get clearer about what we need
to do to address their needs. I am still working on a text for the SE
- Methodology document on these matters.
4. BFO, showing especially how BFO can help with item 2.
5. Relations to NIEM, JC3IEDM, (global graph?)
6. MIOF
7. Ontologies of data (-types) vs. ontologies of real world content
survey of video ontologies
