An annual series of events (first started by Ontolog and NIST in 2006) that involves the ontology community and communities related to each year's theme chosen for the summit.

Format: each year's Summit comprises of a series of both virtual and face-to-face events that span about 3 months. These include a vigorous three-month online discourse on the theme of choice (for a particular summit), virtual panel discussions, research activities ... etc. which will culminate in a two-day face-to-face workshop and symposium at NIST (Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.) The publication of a Summit Communique each year, at the end of the face-to-face symposium, to get an annual message from the participants to the world-at-large, has also been a signature activity of this Ontology Summit series. ...
