THIS MEETING TOOK PLACE ON FRIDAY 14 JANUARY 2022. (Meetings have moved to the second Friday of the month at 2pm Eastern Time.)

Agenda

  • Actions from last meeting
    • RobertR liaison status with the IAOA Education Committee still has not occurred since no meetings have yet been held
  • Discussion/presentation of RobertR's ontology definitions spreadsheet
  • Discussion of the MIRO article
  • Continued discussion of ontology and knowledge graph definitions from the December SWAO meeting
  • Housekeeping and next meeting
  • AoB

Proceedings

  • Preliminary discussion about the antifraud ontology announced on the Ontology Forum distribution list
    • GAO Antifraud Resource is based on GAO’s Fraud Ontology — "a rigorous classification of fraud schemes affecting federal programs and operations—serves as the backbone for understanding, evaluating, and measuring all aspects of federal fraud schemes, including their participants, mechanisms, and impacts"
      • The site provides a user friendly, web-based platform for interacting with the model and identifying resources to support fraud risk management
      • This project was overviewed by Leia Dickerson in the 2021 Ontology Summit series
      • Question was raised whether this could be more integrated with cyber security
  • For the next 6 months or so, SWAO will need another individual to run the meetings (AndreaW has several other commitments, as does MikeB)
    • Either ToddS or KenB will run the sessions for the coming months
    • AndreaW updated the SWAO meeting connection details to reflect KenB's Zoom information
  • Discussion of upper ontologies migrated to a discussion of the use of BFO in the IOF (Industry Ontology Foundry)
    • The majority of the following insights on IOF were provided by ToddS:
      • Development principles for IOF are in harmony with OntoCommons
      • IOF is less concerned about BFO's requirement of realism and more concerned with 'practical application' for physics and mathematics for manufacturing
      • IOF Core to be released soon, with BFO formally embedded
      • A release where BFO is "hidden" has also been discussed as a possibility
      • BFO, Dolce and UFO were originally studied as options for the foundational ontology
