The SUMO prize is for the best open source ontology extension of SUMO.
The SUMO prize for US$3000.00 is awarded each year to the best open source project that extends SUMO. Entries are due electronically to Adam Pease (apease [at] articulatesoftware [dot] com) by December 1. Awards will be made December 31 each year. Entries must be SUO-KIF files that extend SUMO and its domain ontologies, and conform to them.
In addition to the logical soundness of the ontology with respect to the SUMO ontologies, entries will be judged on several criteria:
- Degree of formalization - is the ontology fully specified with rules or just a taxonomy or collection of basic frame axioms?
- Scope and coverage of the ontology - is it just a few terms, or hundreds?
- Does the ontology cover a coherent new topic or domain?
- Actual utility of the ontology in an application
In addition to the ontology file, entrants are encouraged (but not required) to provide one document of no more than 15 pages, describing the ontology, including its use in any applications, such as, but not limited to natural language understanding, deductive inference, expert systems, or semantic integration and interoperability.
Articulate Software reserves the right to make multiple awards, or no award, at the discretion of the company, if no submission meets the requirements above. Employees of Articulate Sofware its subcontractors and funded partners and previous winners are not eligible. Only open source (GNU GPL, LGPL or similar) or public domain ontology content will be considered..

Upper Merged Ontology is a formal theory,
like a dictionary for computers to read, of terms and logical
definitions describing the world.
