SUO: Standard Upper Ontology Procedures

SUOP. Note 1

Matthew, Murray, SUO Working Group,
Some initial thoughts and questions.
1. Qualifications for Starter Documents.
We already have lots of procedures and
routines for voting on starter documents.
I suggest that we not haggle over those
sorts of issues anymore, indeed, I have
come to revise my own opinion about what
qualifies as a starter document to what
already seems to be the de facto norm,
that just about any working effort or
historically established project is
worth discussing in this forum.
2. Classification of Ontology Projects.
It seems that one of our major roadblocks at this time has to do
with the very different sorts of ontology projects before us, and
though I believe that this diversity can be a good thing, I think
that it brings up a question to ask about each of these projects:
What does this particular ontology project want to be? How does
it want to define itself, its aims, its own criteria for success,
and how does that project for being relate to the other projects?
Supper Time!
