Currently, there is no agreed on methodology for development of ontologies, and there is no consensus on how ontologies should be evaluated. Consequently, evaluation techniques and tools are not widely utilized in the development of ontologies. This can lead to ontologies of poor quality and is an obstacle to the successful deployment of ontologies...

This report addresses: (a) Description of the Cyc Battle Monitor prototype and (b) Development of the Cyc Battle Monitor concept. The development represented by the completed Cyc Battle Monitor prototype, goes beyond recognition of surface data patterns because both the richness of the Cyc ontology and its reasoning capabilities are being utilized...

The subject of this paper is the problem of information fusion, and the potential of knowledge base technology to play a role in solving it. To explain and illustrate this potential, the paper offers a basic explanation of a particular knowledge base technology (Cyc), and describes a particular project (CPOF), and the work done for it, in which tha...

The goal of the Ontology Summit 2010 was to address the current shortage of persons with ontology expertise by developing a strategy for the education of ontologists. To achieve this goal we studied how ontologists are currently trained, the requirements identified by organizations that hire ontologists, and developments that might impact the train...

Cycorp has developed a knowledge acquisition system, based on Cyc, that can engage a user in a natural-language mixed-initiative dialogue. In order to achieve a intelligent dialogue with the user, it employs explicit topic- and user-modeling, a system of prioritized interactions, and a transparent agenda to which either the user or the system can a...

The role that ontologies play or can play in designing and employing semantic technologies has been widely acknowledged by the SemanticWeb and Linked Data communities. But the level of collaboration between these communities and the Applied Ontology community has been much less than expected. Also, ontologies and ontological techniques appear to be...

+++ UPDATED VERSION PUBLISHED IN APPLIED ONTOLOGY VOL.9, ISSUE 2, 2014+++ This version 1.0.0 (2014.04.29-10:45) of the OntologySummit2014_Communique was adopted by the community at the Ontology Summit 2014 Symposium (Arlington, Virginia, USA). It summarizes the activity of 4+ months of discussions of the Ontology Community (IAOA) and its collabora...

The Ontology Summit 2012 explored the current and potential uses of ontology, its methods and paradigms, in big systems and big data: How ontology can be used to design, develop, and operate such systems. The systems addressed were not just software systems, although software systems are typically core and necessary components, but more complex sys...
