OntologySummit2007 Communique/CommentsSuggestions

= OntologySummit2007: Communiqué Comments & Suggestions =

A few suggestions were received to re-open the dialog to further refine this communique and come up with a "next version" of the document. After due discussion it was decided that since this communique serves well to represent a snapshot position of the summit conveners, we will just leave it at version 1.0 (after correcting typos and formatting enhancement where applicable) for now. We would, however, invite the community to post their comments and further suggestions, which we can use as a reference for future work.

Please post your comments and suggestions to the OntologySummit2007_Communique v1.0 document below: (kindly identify yourself and date-stamp your post)
