Session Objectives & Resources
Workshop Session-1 for OntologySummit2007 - Ontology, Taxonomy, Folksonomy: Understanding the Distinctions

This session will be devoted to the discussion and finalization of a "Framework" that can be applied to help the broader community understand the distinctions between Ontology, Taxonomy, Folksonomy and all the terms in between that various communities employ to label those "ontologies" or "structures."

A huge amount of work has gone into the discourse and the preparation of a draft statement, which will be used at this session as a strawman for this "Framework" that we would like to define. Please refer, in particular, to:


 * Ontology Framework Draft Statement - OntologySummit2007_FrameworksForConsideration
 * Responses to the above draft (thread starting at): http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontology-summit/2007-04/msg00023.html
