&lt;br /&gt;
== Discussion ==&lt;br /&gt;
[12:15] ToddSchneider: Landscape =def. all the visible features of an area of countryside or land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:19] RaviSharma: sustainability and time span Todd Gary and Ken discussed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:20] RaviSharma: Gary also mentioned that landscape could tie the tracks, then others said architecture of landscape is hard to envision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:21] RaviSharma: Ken showed Tim Berners Lee article of rules and least power for purpose - sort of!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:28] ToddSchneider: The IOF requires both natural language and First Order Logic definitions. Plus an intermediate definition, semi-formal, to bridge natural language and First Order Logic definitions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:31] RaviSharma: we need to view landscape as a vantage point - Gary's comment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:32] whitten: There is little mention of SalientAssumptions, the microtheory hierarchy, as part of a definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:33] whitten: I can't discuss this verbally as my voice connection is lacking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:33] ToddSchneider: See the Appendix 0 (end of the page) at https://www.industrialontologies.org/technical-principles/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:34] whitten: The idea of a Formal Language as a way to make a statement/proposition available to a computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:36] ToddSchneider: Landscape: What is an ontology; How is an ontology used; How is an ontology developed or created; How is an ontology maintained or extended;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:37] whitten: The Computer Natural language and the English and the semi-formal definitions for Human understandable has a problem that humans can piece together a statement with its own assumed statements that state its assumptions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:38] whitten: I believe John Sowa has stated that a Controlled Natural Language can be mechanically converted into Formal Logic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:40] whitten: If you are depending on diagrams, you really need to understand and formalize the assumptions between Image Schemas implicit in the diagram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:41] whitten: Listing a vocabulary and taxonomy already in use in a field is a useful in creating Formal definitions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:47] Gary Berg-Cross: I would add to the general outline the issue of quality ontologies - needed for KGs, what they leverage and what development processes add quality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:51] RaviSharma: David Whitten made Cyc related and biomed field related comments to draw conclusions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:51] ToddSchneider: Something has come up. Have to go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12:53] janet singer: What makes an ontology fit for purpose? What makes an ontology *sustainably* fit for purpose over time (changes in situations/contexts)? Approaches: 1) begin with well-developed theory, 2) use methods for learning/updating from data, 3) combine the two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[13:00] Mark Underwood: I wasn't able to get a speaker from this WG, but there are some sustainability aspects to this proposed IEEE standard https://site.ieee.org/sagroups-7007/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[13:00] Gary Berg-Cross: Yes, issues of sustainability comes up in a look the landscape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[13:01] RaviSharma: thanks everyone. Ken says no session on 19th May&lt;br /&gt;
