The session will be focused on adopting a scope and a work-plan, getting the work-in-progress into a draft standard, and preparing to move this work to a proper SDO (standards development organization). This will be a face-to-face workshop with remote participation support.  . See session details at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard/Workshop_2009_10_30  .

RSVP now! ... registration deadline for on-site participants is: end-of-day Tue 2009.10.27  *Thu 22  Oct 2009* - in preparation of the Oct-30 workshop, we will also be running a draft documents preview session during this regular (2.5 Hr.)

RSVP now (too)!   The Oct-30 workshop session (face-to-face with remote support) will be co-chaired by Dr. Frank Olken (NSF), Mr. Howard Mason (BAE; ISO) and Mr. Edward Barkmeyer (NIST). The Oct-22 preparation (teleconference) session will be co-chaired by Dr. Frank Olken (NSF) and  Mr. David Price (Eurostep).  While the workshop is intended predominantly for the UoM_Ontology_Standard working group, so they can focus on identifying and resolving issues and getting the work-in-progress into a draft standard, other members of the community interested in tracking the progress of this work are welcome to join as observers. As mentioned, remote participation is supported as well.  These events, like all Ontolog virtual events, are open and free of charge. Anyone who is interested is welcome. Please refer to event details on the session page, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you will find session agenda, venue, registration, conference call dial-in, slides and other pertinent information. Feel free to pass this invitation along to colleagues who may also find this session to be of interest. ... For remote participants, the session will be presented in the format of an augmented conference call (similar to other Ontolog virtual events); you will only need a phone and Internet access to participate.  *RSVP* by emailing both Frank Olken <[email protected]> and Peter Yim at <[email protected]> offline (or add yourself directly to the session page if you are already an Ontolog community member, and will only be attending remotely) so that we can prepare enough resources to support everyone. ... RSVP now (if you haven't already)! Note that *registration is mandatory for on-site participants*, and the deadline for that is Tue 2009.10.27. See: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard/Workshop_2009_10_30_Registration  These sessions will be recorded and the proceedings made available in a publicly accessible archive.

I am happy to announce that the following two events have been scheduled:  1. A *virtual panel discussion* session to be held on *Thursday 24-Sep-2009* to (a) hear presentations of pertinent work that we haven't yet had the chance to, (b) take inventory of, and synthesize on what has transpired so far, (c) review possible strawman UoM ontology(ies)  that could result, (d) possibly put together an ontology development working group, and (e) discuss how we could/would want to move forward. Please mark your calendars, and track this event from the the developing session page at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2009_09_24  2. A *full-day face-to-face workshop* for developers (the working group) of our "UoM Standard Ontology" (and those in the community who would want to join us as observers of the process) will be held on *Friday 30-Oct-2009*. The plan is to do this at NSF (Arlington, Virginia, US; near the Greater Washington DC Ballston Metro Station). Note that this date is immediately after ISWC 2009 (which will have ended on the afternoon of Thursday 19-Oct-2009 at Chantilly, Virgina, US ... i.e.  also in the Greater Washington DC Area). We wanted to rush this announcement out so that folks who are planning to be at ISWC 2009 (for which early registration is closing in two days - see: http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org/ & https://ww2.eventrebels.com/er/Registration/StepRegInfo.jsp?ActivityID=4116&StepNumber=1 ) and then join us at this workshop afterwards can plan their trip and accommodations accordingly. ... Again, please mark your calendars, and track this event from the developing session page at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UoM_Ontology_Standard/Workshop_2009_10_30  ... Further ideas, suggestions and comments to the above planned events (or to the entire initiative) are always welcome.
