1. Towards completing the Dagstuhl FDM Workshop 15 April 2016 Version v01

2. The Key Take-Away This workshop was wonderful
This workshop is a “new beginning” for our FDM community
If you have ideas, send them Pablo

3. Overview
Documents
White paper (SIGMOD Record, short version in CACM?)
Dagstuhl Manifesto
Dagstuhl Report
Recommendations to PODS EC and ICDT Council ??
Coordination of mailing of Dagstuhl Manifesto to Funding Agencies
Need to identify funding agency contacts, and people from FDM who will follow up with those contacts
Possible action with regards to neighboring areas
Appoint very small teams, each one focused on one neighboring areas
Action on 10 films
Seems to be starting
Possible action: Set up “FDM Organization”
Web pages/blog
Discussion about book
Forum for discussions in general
Note on structure: we need some long-term structure, preferably light-weight

4. White paper / Manifesto
Edited by the FDM Dagstuhl workshop co-organizers
Scientific Theme areas -- in no particular order [person writing first draft]
Imprecise Data [Leonid Lipkin]
Data Mgmt and Machine Learning [Eyke Hüllermeier, Benny Kimmelfeld]
Unstructured and Semi-structured Data [coordination: Clair David]
Knowledge-enriched Data Management [Diego Calvanese]
Data + Process [Rick Hull, Victor Vianu]
Managing Data at Scale [Ke Yi]
Data and Society [Serge Abiteboul]
---- We may re-factor these. Do you have any suggestions ??
Curriculum Recommendations [Frank Neven]
Note: We will invite a small number of people, from inside and outside the workshop, to review drafts of various parts of the white paper

5. Template: For each scientific topic (1 to 2 pages each)
Appropriate title for the topic area
Paragraph describing the area, including something about why it is so important to society, industry, etc.
Eg., the KR topic might include mention of DL-based ontologies used in the world, and some applications of DL-Lite in the world
Eg, the ML topic might include current market size of ML applications and also mention of the 50-80% cost of the “data wrangling”
List of 3 to 6 “practical” challenges, i.e., relevant to society, industry, etc.
For each of these, a few sentences to explain, if needed, and also state of the art
List of 3 to 6 “theory” challenges, that might be resolved over the next 5 years, roughly
Hopefully these form key component of resolving the practical challenges
Include state of the art, including a few key references (can
Note: a total of =< 10 references per scientific topic
Mention the kinds of theory techniques that will be needed, especially the ones that fall outside of “traditional” FDM techniques

6. Recommendations to PODS EC/ICDT Council
We should prepare a document, to summarize our findings and recommendations
Does anyone from outside the co-organizers want to participate in this activity? i.e., WE NEED A FEW VOLUNTEERS

7. 10 Videos
Can someone make a brief report on progress/plans ??

8. Text book
Discussion of thoughts

9. Web-based “Community” for FDM
Discussion

10. “FDM Organization” – how to proceed
There are several possible threads of activity that go beyond this workshop
Web “community” to help us communicate with ourselves and outside world
Blog
The 10 Films
Promoting Curriculum, beyond publishing the white paper
Book extensions
Relationships to neighboring scientific communities
???
Notes
We need people to understand that these actions are coming from this community, acting more-or-less in consensus
We don’t want to have heavy structure (at least for now)
We need these actions to be well thought out and more-or-less consistent
People should get credit and recognition for contributions they make
Some ways to structure this
Create multiple “task forces” jointly sponsored by PODS EC/ICDT Council
Create a single new body, the “FDM Group”, that is jointly sponsored by the PODS EC/ICDT Council
Other ??
