Issues and Strategies

  • Need efficient way to learn tools and techniques
    • Issue: The learning curve is quite steep and long-time participants in this effort still don't feel comfortable with basic concepts and specific methodologies
    • Strategy: Identify and/or develop training modules that target key topics
      • Survey Ontolog / UBL project participants for knowledge gaps
      • Consolidate to a prioritzed list of training topics
      • Identify, recruit, and/or draft subject matter experts to help put together training modules (possibly teamed with a recruit to help document the training)
      • Distribute materials asynchronously where possible. Schedule telecons, where necessary.
  • Need agreement on content to write
    • Issue: A critical aspect of formalization is agreement among subject matter experts on what the terms / concepts mean.
    • Strategy: drive agreement prior to the formalization in KIF to enable a broader range of subject matter experts to contribute to the process
      • Form a group of subject matter experts to review and revise the existing UBL definitions for these terms and concepts
      • Develop standards and/or quality critieria for these definitions (both their internal structure/expresiveness and consistency across definitions)
        • Look to IEEE (Sowa's) discussions of use of controlled english possibly as a second step (uncontrolled, then controlled, then KIF)
      • Publish the definitions once they accepted (either individually or as a group)
