- Continued discussion of ontology and knowledge graph definitions from the December SWAO meeting
- Posted in this document
- Housekeeping and next meeting

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
- 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"
- 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
- BFO was chosen but the criteria for evaluation may have been incomplete
- Results from the evaluation included that the BFO natural language descriptions were better and that Dolce was too axiomatized
- Is valuable to understand where BFO is used and where it is used but "worked around"
- There is concern that all upper ontologies could be rejected due to issues with one (such as BFO)
- Committing to an upper ontology means committing to its conceptual distinctions
- These need to be evaluated that they are relevant and consistent with the desired world view
- The majority of the following insights on IOF were provided by ToddS:
- Discussion of the MIRO article

The next meeting will occur on February 11, 2022, at 19:00 GMT/2pm EST.
