Ontology & Ontological Engineering for Standards and Related Resources

  • http://www.dau.mil/pubs/pdf/know-it.pdf An encyclopedia of nearly 400 pages on Knowledge Management and IT terms, definitions and acronyms compiled by a Navy Program Executive Office for Information Technology and based on first hand experience. It is written by Neal J. Pollack and appears to based on a 1987 original publication with considerable updates. The definitions are well written and exampled and includes weblinks to additional resources as well as other published resources. Also and for no apparent reason is included with every definition is a whimsical saying that is great for thought and laughs and the source for each is included. -- recommended by Cecelia Hickel, 2004.06.23
  • http://www.x12.org/x12org/index.cfm Here is a website for comparing the XML-based eCommerce standards to pre-existing standards ASC X12 which boasts more than 315 electronic data interchange (EDI) transaction sets, developed, integrated and tested over the last 25 years. However, this "Standards Effort" appears to be a somewhat of a counter effort to the ebXML in that while in agreement to follow the ebXML standards, the X12 version includes additional structures in their components while claiming X12 is more defined as to meanings of semantics. -- recommended by Cecelia Hickel, 2004.06.23
