Track Introduction

Ontology Summit 2021 Launch

Ontologies are a rich and versatile construct. They can be extracted, learned, modularized, interrelated, transformed, analyzed, and harmonized as well as developed in a formal process. This summit will explore the many kinds of ontologies and how they can be manipulated. The goal is to acquaint both current and potential users of ontologies with the possibilities for how ontologies could be used for solving problems.

[12:41] John Sowa: Formalization will do *nothing* to harmonize different uses of the same words..

[12:42] John Sowa: Stating formal definitions will do *nothing* for people who don't know, never read, or never will read the formal definiions.

[12:43] John Sowa: Safe assumption: 99.9% of the people who enter data have never read the formal definitions.
