Level of focus for ontologies

[ricklupton]

I think we could be more specific about what we're aiming to do when discussing ontologies. I've tried to explain what I mean on the IE Ontology page on the wiki.

• do you agree with my classification or have I missed something?
• is this a useful way to think about it?
• if so, which level should we start at? the top level of organisations/sources seems the easiest place to get started and would tie into the "data inventory" project.

@konstantinstadler @nheeren @stefanpauliuk @rjmyers do I need to mention people or will you see it anyway?

Oh - I kind of overlooked that page. Is our wiki already too fragmented :) ?

I think it is a great article. Can we link it to the manifesto page and integrate / summarize it there? IMO the manifesto should reflect our research agenda (that we possibly will propose to the ISIE).

@konstantinstadler @nheeren @stefanpauliuk @rjmyers do I need to mention people or will you see it anyway?

I think everybody watching (see top right corner) should receive notifications automatically.

Yes I agree with Niko that we should try to define our manifesto first, by summarising each topic and their challenges, before splitting up too much into individual working groups.

[stefanpauliuk]

Think that we should do both: Work on the different strands, just exchaning ideas, trying out things, while at the same time also looking at the big picture, for which the manifesto is a great platform.
I added a few more aspects that an ontology should cover to the wiki.
