Topic: *Ontologies and Service Oriented Architecture*

*Abstract* (by Duane Nickull & Rex Brooks): The goal of this session is to explore what role ontologies and taxonomies play within a service oriented architecture environment. Ontologies and taxonomies can be employed in service oriented environments in numerous ways, through ontologies of domains, for instance health informatics or plastics manufacturing, or taxonomies of services or service categories within domains, so we want to explore how ontologies and taxonomies can improve the availability and performance of services in these roles. 3 guest speakers will each bring a unique perspective on the topic and speak for 10 minutes followed by a quick Q & A. After the final session, a longer group Q & A and discussion will take place among all participants in the session.

 

*Panelists*:
o Mr. Ron Schmelzer (ZapThink)
o Dr. Ken Laskey (MITRE)
o Ms. Rebekah Metz (Booz Allen Hamilton)

*Refer to details on the session wiki page at*:

This will be a virtual session over an augmented conference call.

The session is expected to start with briefing from the panelists (~1 Hour) followed by an extended discussion between the participants and the panel. The entire session will be recorded and made available as open content under the prevailing Ontolog IPR policy (see:
