> For over ten years, study groups have been exploring the potential for

> semantic interoperability is usually stated in terms of unifying the
> semantics of multiple databases, or mapping multiple domain ontologies
> through a common upper ontology or interlingua. This talk will describe
> how utility of the upper ontology for semantic integration goes beyond
> these scenarios, and will propose the use of an upper ontology in a way
> that may immediately affect the task of ontologizing the Ontolog. (010)
> *About the Speaker*:
>
> *Dr. Patrick Cassidy* Dr. Patrick Cassidy received his Ph.D.
> in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1971, and started his
> professional career as a biochemist in the research labs
> at Merck pharmaceuticals. He became increasingly
> intrigued by the potential of computer intelligence,
> and took an early retirement from Merck in 1993 to devote
> full time to research in natural language understanding and
> knowledge representation. He has been involved in building
> ontologies since 1995. Since late 2004 he has been
> working at MITRE as a Senior Artificial Intelligence
> Engineer. Prior to that, he was an ontologist at VerticalNet,
> one of the pioneers in applying ontological engineering to
> eBusiness solutions. Dr. Cassidy has been playing an active
> leadership role in the ontology community, which include
> his founding and chairing of the ONTACWG (Ontology and
> Taxonomy Coordinating Working Group) of SICoP; as well as
> his key contribution in organizing the recent
> Upper Ontology Summit. He considers it his mission to help
> at least one upper ontology become sufficiently widely adopted
> to attract vendors and academic groups, to use it and
> demonstrate the networking benefits of a common
> conceptual language for knowledge-based programs. (011)
