Latest revision as of 11:53, 16 May 2013
Venue: Ramada Inn, Amherst, NY 14051
Date: May 13-14, 2013.
This meeting is co-located with the PRO-PO-GO meeting, to be held on May 15-16, 2013.
Goal
The goal of the meeting is to assess the current state of the BFO 2.0 Specification and to consider proposals regarding BFO 2.0 OWL. As the OWL working group formally decided not to meet at this time, work on BFO 2.0 OWL will contribute to subsequent meetings of this group, but decisions that require vote will not be taken.

Background Reading
The current draft version of the BFO 2.0 Specification is available here.
For further information please write to Barry Smith or see here.
For introductory reading see: Pierre Grenon and Barry Smith: "SNAP and SPAN: Towards Dynamic Spatial Ontology", Spatial Cognition and Computation, 4 (2004), 69-103.
For introductory reading on relations see: Barry Smith, Werner Ceusters, et al., “Relations in Biomedical Ontologies”, Genome Biology (2005), 6 (5), R46.
For discussion of core BFO issues see: Barry Smith and Werner Ceusters, “Ontological Realism as a Methodology for Coordinated Evolution of Scientific Ontologies”, Applied Ontology, 5 (2010), 139–188.
The paper here contains some material pertaining to process profiles: “Classifying Processes: An Essay in Applied Ontology”, Ratio, in press.
And the paper here contains material on the proposed BFO 2.0 classification of objects: “On Classifying Material Entities in Basic Formal Ontology”, in Interdisciplinary Ontology. Proceedings of the Third Interdisciplinary Ontology Meeting, Tokyo: Keio University Press, 2012, 1-13.
