''This is the workspace for community input to the focused discussion outlined below ...'' 

== Track Label: Requirements - Subtrack Label: Future Developments  ==

Track Co-champions: [[ElizabethFlorescu|Elizabeth Florescu]] and [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] 

Mission: '''to develop an outlook on the "Future of Ontologists."''' we will try to gain insight from the perspectives of: 

* the market - potential employer of the ontologist; 
* the educator - the ontology training / education provider; and 
* the individual - the ontologist (or ontologist-to-be) 

=== Pertinent questions  ===

* What major "Development(s)" (please express in one statement) do you foresee happening to the domain of Ontology or to the Ontologist profession in: 
** 2.5 years, 
** 5 years, 
** 10 years, and 
** 20 years 
* What do you see as important trends that are beginning to emerge (w.r.t. the above time horizon)? 
* How many "ontologists" (or professionals with an "ontology education") will the world need (in the above time horizon)? 
* When do you think we will start having "ontology departments" in (a) universities and (b) enterprises? 
* What needs to happen between now and the day when we will have "ontology departments" in unversities and enterprises?
