There is an enormous amount of valuable content sitting in discussion list archives that is very raw and hard to digest. If you do manage to find a thread you are interested in, it can take a very long time to pour over the many messages to get the punch line.

We believe that after such lively discussions take place, there needs to be a home for the final result, and a way to further refine the ideas for others to benefit from.

The ontology modeling issues page in the ODP Wiki is such a home. In it you will find a number of modeling issues that have already been entered.

We envision the following steps in the evolution of a modeling issue:

  1. Lively discussion happens on some mailing list.
  2. Someone posts a summary to the list of the key points raised, ideally including the pros and cons of proposed solutions.
  3. That summary is also posted to the ODP Wiki as a modeling issue.
  4. The issue is further discussed and refined there, for the community to contribute to and benefit from.
