Ontolog Scheduled Discussion Session: Ontologies and Service Oriented Architecture - Thu 10-Aug-2006

  • Session Title : "Ontologies and Service Oriented Architecture"

Abstract / Goals of the Discussion session

To explore what role ontologies and taxonomies play within a service oriented architecture environment. Ontologies and taxonomies can be employed in service oriented environments in numerous ways, through ontologies of domains, for instance health informatics or plastics manufacturing, or taxonomies of services or service categories within domains, so we want to explore how ontologies and taxonomies can improve the availability and performance of services in these roles. 3 guest speakers will each bring a unique perspective on the topic and speak for 10 minutes followed by a quick Q & A. After the final session, a longer group Q & A and discussion will take place among all participants in the session.

Background

Service Oriented Archecture (SOA) is already a buzzword. The subject has been covered a few times already, in previous Ontolog session, notably:

  • DuaneNickull's invited Ontolog talk entitled: "Sky Captain and the Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model of Tomorrow" he gave in February, 2005, shortly after the start of the OASIS SOA-RM TC. See: ConferenceCall_2005_02_17

To this end, Duane Nickull and Rex Brooks has put together this session to further explore the subject with a few more invited experts and the community-at-large.
