Abstract (by PeterYim)

The Ontolog community of practice transacts predominantly over its virtual collaborative work environment ("cwe") which is hosted on the CIM3.NET infrastructure. This work environment serves as a dynamic knowledge repository for the community, and has, over the years, accumulated a rich body of very relevant knowledge that is openly accessible by the community and the world at large.

This tutorial is a hands-on session that will be useful for both new-comers as well as experienced users of the Ontolog-cwe. We will be spending time on (a) the philosophy behind the cwe design, (b) navigating and accessing the Ontolog body of knowledge, (c) showing everyone how to effectively participate and contribute as members of the community, and (d) explaining some of the more advanced features of this collaborative work environment.
