During Workshop Task List for Vocabulary Mapping Workshop.

Use template and guidance materials from the Table of Contents for all of the tasks below.

• set up workshop, double-check materials, supplies, catering and transportation requirements;
• provide workshop background and practical, invited presentations. Keep workshop background and presentations relatively minimal to allow sufficient time for participants to work during the breakout sessions;
• demonstrate the value of vocabulary maps (in finding terms and data, and using data);
• provide training in participants’ roles, vocabulary mapping, ontology concepts, and tool usage;
• break up into teams and begin mapping vocabularies;
• reassemble daily for issue resolution, lesson sharing, and possibly additional training;
• document, in real time, workshop issues, resolutions, and suggestions;
• publish all ontologies on the MMI site (the goal should be to complete this step before leaving the workshop);
• possibly identify the “best” (most complete, mature, useful, or publishable) working vocabularies;
• identify team leads to continue the progress and maintain each ontology;
• begin development of white paper, to provide foundation for the workshop report; and
• take photos for workshop report.
