Agenda & Proceedings

 * Mr. Anders W. Tell from Business Collaboration Toolsmiths AB (Sweden) will be presenting to the community. His talk is entitled: "The maturity of business ontologies and rate of adoption - examples and challenges from the domain of eCommerce and electronic business collaborations"


 * Abstract (by Anders Tell):
 * During the last few years a relatively large number of technologies for eCommerce and business integration has been suggested, developed and to a degree standardised. However most commercial trade transaction are still today executed with little to no electronic means, i.e. paper based. A key question must be raised how much "business" such technologies really include? Concerns are also being raised with regards to proposed solutions being overly complex, technological and costly, such as PKI, and that simpler pragmatic means may actually be a faster road to an efficient end.
 * The session focus on an elaboration on selected key business and legal aspects that may differentiate "business technologies" from "technologies that support business". This from the viewpoint and assumption that business mean changes in social, business, economical and legal relations.


 * Session Format: this will be virtual session over a phone conference setting, augmented by shared computer screen support
 * The session will start with a brief introduction of the online attendees (~15 min.)
 * Presentation by the invited speaker (45~60 min.)
 * Open discussion (30~45 min.)
