Collaborative Expedition Workshop 37Toward
Coherence in Knowledge Through All Things
Ontological Making Sense Together
  • December 9, 2004
  • National Science Foundation
  • Room 375, Stafford I
  • Ballston, VA

Introduction to Collaborative Expedition Workshop
Series
  • Learning opportunities for individuals and
    policy-makers from all sectors government,
    business, and non-government organizations
  • Practice Intergovernmental Collaboration to
    advance Citizen-Centric Government Goal of
    President's Management Agenda
  • Accelerate multi-sector partnerships around IT
    capabilities to help government work better on
    behalf of all citizens

3
Introduction
  • Organize participation around common purpose,
    larger than any institution, including
    government.
  • Learn to appreciate multiple perspectives around
    potentials and realities of a larger purpose
  • Improve quality of dialogue and collaborations at
    crossroads of Intergovernmental Initiatives,
    Communities of Practice, Federal IT research,
    State and Local government
  • Subsequent actions of participants, representing
    many forms of expertise, expressed more
    effectively in their respective settings

4
Introduction
  • Create conducive conditions for breakthrough
    innovations in government and community services
    such as emergency preparedness, environmental
    monitoring, healthcare and law enforcement
  • Authoritative Communities of Practice around
    Common Business Lines
  • Agile Framework for Building Intergovernmental
    Services
  • Emergence of Open Standards, Semantic Technology
  • to distill context-aware data and services
    needed by people and machines to solve problems
    within complex, adaptive systems
  • In design we either hobble or support peoples
    natural ability to express forms of expertise.
    Prof. David D. Woods

Introduction
  • Key FY03 Finding
  • Many agile business components surfacing in
    innovative settings
  • Not easily discovered by e-government managers,
    resulting in lost or delayed opportunities for
    all parties.
  • To address this potential, a quarterly Emerging
    Components Conference Series was established in
    FY04
  • Four national dialogue conferences have been
    held two at the White House Conference Center,
    one at the Washington DC Convention Center and
    one at MITRE.
  • Next conference on Oct. 25, for more information
    see http//componenttechnology.org.

Introduction
  • Key FY04 Finding
  • Growing Opportunity to apply Emerging
    Technologies (web services, grid computing, and
    semantic web) to tune up Innovation Pipeline with
    better linkages among
  • Business incubators (state economic development
    programs)
  • Innovation diffusion networks (SBIR, angel
    investors, etc.) and
  • Business intelligence centers with quality
    information about e-government and e-commerce
    gaps.
  • Semantic Interoperability CoP, Best Practices
    Committee
  • XML CoP, Architecture Infrastructure Committee

7
Introduction
  • Workshop Sponsors
  • General Services Administration's Office of
    Intergovernmental Solutions.
  • Architecture and Infrastructure and Best
    Practices Committees of the Federal CIO Council.
  • National Coordination Office of the Interagency
    Committee on IT RD (Social, Economic and
    Workforce Implications of IT and IT Workforce
    Development (SEW) Coordinating Group).
  • Workshop Value
  • Frontier Outpost" to open up quality
    conversations, augmented by information
    technology, to leverage collaborative capacity of
    united, but diverse sectors of society, seeking
    to discover, frame, and act on national
    potentials.

Introduction
  • Upcoming Events
  • Semantic Web Applications for National Security
    (SWANS) Conference, February 8-9, 2005,
    Washington, DC Area.

Introduction
  • To help our Enterprise Architecture, Emerging
    Technology, and Federal Networking and
    Information Technology Research Development
    (NITRD) communities explore an expanded context
    for advancing intergovernmental mechanisms in
    light of convergence challenges relevant to
    e-Government.
  • Exploration will include how to evolve
    multi-stakeholder best practice processes for
    implementing a Federal Enterprise Architecture
    Data Reference Model XML Profile.
  • In addition we'll have hands-on introduction to
    Semantic Technology tools and demonstrations of
    new Open Standards Web Applications.

  • Audience Survey - First Vote Only Yes or No, Then
    Discuss, and Finally Vote Again
  • Do you agree with this statement?
  • Dr. Tom Gruber "Every Ontology is a treaty - a
    social agreement among people with some common
    motive in sharing."
  • Do you agree on which communities need to be
    involved and how?
  • Dr. Tom Gruber - "If the ontologies are to enable
    software interoperability of reasonably complex
    programs, I would say that it requires highly
    technical people - trained in architecture and
    systems thinking - to be involved...At the same
    time, "non-technical" people must also be
    involved in an ontology design process, if they
    hold the vision about what these interoperating
    programs are going to do for us."
