Ontology Summit 2009
Monday and Tuesday, April 6-7
Technical POC: Steve Ray
NIST POC: Simon Frechette

This summit addressed the intersection of two active communities, namely the technical standards world, and the community of ontology and semantic technologies. This intersection is long overdue because each has much to offer the other. Ontologies represent the best efforts of the technical community to unambiguously capture the definitions and interrelationships of concepts in a variety of domains. Standards - specifically information standards - are intended to provide unambiguous specifications of information, for the purpose of error-free access and exchange. If the standards community is indeed serious about specifying such information unambiguously to the best of its ability, then the use of ontologies as the vehicle for such specifications is the logical choice.

Sensor Standards Harmonization Working Group (SSHWG)
 Tuesday, April 7
Technical POC: Kang Lee, NIST

This meeting provided a forum for government, industry, and academia to exchange information on sensor-related standards for seamless sensor integration, and sensor data and equipment interoperability, and to address the issues of harmonizing sensor-related standards. Discussions also included existing and emerging sensor standards, sensor networks, and sensor applications and requirements.
