Ontologizing the Ontolog Body of Knowledge - Discussion Session 2 - Tools, Techniques, and Approaches Panel - Ontolog Forum - Moderator: Dr. E. Michael Maximilien - 6-July-2006

* Subject Dr. E. Michael Maximilien from IBM Research organized and moderated our scheduled discussion on: "Ontologizing the Ontolog Body of Knowledge - Discussion Session-2 - Tools, Techniques, and Approaches Panel Discussion". Invited panelists included Dr. John 'Boz' Handy-Bosma (IBM Global Services), Mr. PeterMika (Free University, Amsterdam, Netherlands), Mr. Conor Shankey (Visual Knowledge) and Mr. W. Scott Spangler (IBM Research) * Date Thursday, July 6, 2006 * ONTOLOG Forum session page (with agenda and link to slides) http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2006_07_06 * Abstract (by E. M. Maximilien) In this panel we want to investigate tools, techniques, and approaches that can help us in the task of ontologizing the rich semantic conetnt of the Ontolog Forum. In particular we would like to cover: o (1) Tools to create formal and semi-formal knowledge representation (KR), e.g., OWL, Protege, and so on; o (2) Tools and services to create free-form annotations of contents, e.g., deli.cio.us, Flykr, and others, resulting in folksonomies; o (3) Research, techniques, and tools (if any) to help make sense of resulting folksonomies and ontologies; o (4) Automated techniques, tools, and research approaches to mine structure in unstructured text such as the ONTOLOG Wiki, e.g., UIMA, podzinger.com for podcast to text translation, and others; and o (5) Semantically-rich next generation collaborative platforms, e.g. semantic Wikis or other emerging web 2.0 tools.
