Jim,
I regret that I will not be able to participate in the conference due
to a conflict.
My main concern is that the title of that paper may be misleading --
I think of ontologies, upper ontologies, KIF-based ontologies as being
"current technology". Whether they have been successfully implemented
is hard to find out: Cyc and others claim to have used ontologies for
integrating databases, but the results are not public for evaluation. (01)
I would rename the paper: (02)
Data Interoperability across the Enterprise -
Why Current Off-The-Shelf Software Cannot Achieve it (03)
My other quibbles with section titles would be:
In part 1: (04)
"Developing Larger Domains Does Not Scale"
--> Developing Large Non-modular Domains Does Not Scale (05)
"C. Cross-Domain Mapping Does Not Scale"
--> "C. Cross-Domain Many-to-Many Mapping Does Not Scale" (06)
On a substantive level, I would argue with the assertion about OWL at
level 9:
'9. Actual system 'flight proven' though successful mission
operations." (07)
There may be applications that actually use OWL ontologies to do more
than simple search in the ontology itself, but I don't know of any.
One should only rate OWL as a 9 if you can point to applications that
actually used the OWL as an ontology rather than as a fancy database,
and did something with it more than you can do as easily (or easier?)
with existing database applications. (08)
I won't have time for further inspection before next week. I'll look
for the results of your conference. (09)

Cory,
Appendix 2 and the overall paper should provide the basis and
context.

CDSI, (016)
The attached paper rates the following semantic technologies: (017)
Technology: Score: (See Appendix 2 for scale)
XML/Metadata 9
RDF 9
OWL 9
Stand-alone ontologies 6
Upper Ontologies 4
Mapped Upper Ontologies 1 (018)
What's your opinion? Join us for tomorrow's teleconference and
let's discuss. Details below (019)

Subject: CDSI Draft Paper and Conference Call Wed Dec 20, 11:30-12:30 (021)
Cross Domain Semantic Interoperability WG, (022)
The 2nd conference call of this group is scheduled for next
Wednesday, Dec 20th, 11:30 AM -12:30 PM EST. Join by dialing
(888)622-5357 and entering the code 342803. (023)
Attached is a draft paper, which will be discussed. The paper
attempts to explain, to the layman, that current technology cannot
achieve 'Data Interoperability across the Enterprise.' It concludes
that emerging technology has promise and should be pursued. It makes
a
first cut at rating various technologies on a 9-level maturity scale,
which needs further discussion. (024)
Please join the telecon and invite other stakeholders. The
