ATTN SUO Voting Members,
Below is Matthew West's final motion, which was refined via
several weeks of discussion. This closes the period of discussion.
Tomorrow, I will release the official ballot, which will be open
for 3 weeks. I plan to attempt to obtain acknowledgement (or votes) from
all voting members, which may take the 3 weeks.
Jim Schoening
Chair, SUO WG
====================
Dear Jim,
See the proposal and motions below. Note there are slight edits:
- to make clear there is intended to be one ballot with 2 votes
- to identify the intent that the 4D ontology will itself be
developed as components rather than as a monolith.
(Please include the above information when you send out the
ballot).
Title: Proposal to Develop a Standardisation Methodology and a
4 Dimensional Ontology to be included as Components within
the Information Flow Framework.
(Note 1 ballot, 2 votes)
Motion 1:
The Standard Upper Ontology group approves the objective
and work programme set out below and encourages its
members to participate in the programme, developing
and reviewing the programme deliverables.
Objective
To develop a methodology for the development of standards
deliverables within the Standard Upper Ontology Workgroup.
Work Programme
1. Establish a methodology for developing and improving
SUO standards deliverables including establishing levels
of deliverable, approvals required to achieve a level,
and an issue raising and resolution process. Initial
material to indicate the intent is attached.
Motion 2:
The Standard Upper Ontology group approves the objective
and work programme set out below and encourages its
members to participate in the programme, developing
and reviewing the programme deliverables.
Objective
To develop a 4 dimensional ontology and include it as
a component within the Information Flow Framework.
Work Programme
1. Develop an ontology based on the 4-dimensional
paradigm. Initial material to act as a start point
is contained in ISO/FDIS 15926-2.
http://www.tc184-sc4.org/wg3ndocs/wg3n1328/lifecycle_integration_schema.h
tml
The approach will be to develop the ontology as
reusable components, where appropriate.
2. Make the 4-Dimensional Ontology available as components
within the Information Flow Framework and develop
mappings to other ontologies within the framework.
