Meeting format
The theme of this meeting will be to understand how ontology
development and application are being used to address problems, with an emphasise on creating and using open data.
The meeting will be designed to maximise dissemination of what's
going on, whilst gathering input from attendees. The agenda
will have three main parts;
1. A morning of short presentations. Talks will be 5 minutes long followed by a couple of minutes for one or two questions. There will be approximately 18 presentations, with a mix of academics, industry and government speakers.
2. Early afternoon; 10 minute software demonstrations,
demonstrating the latest in applications utilising ontologies and
in ontology development technology
3. Late afternoon; a "birds-of-a-feather"
session where interested parties can get together in loosely formed
groups to discuss issues with people of a similar mind/interest.
