* '''Overview on UML diagrams of [[BioPortal]] systems''' 
** see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture#nid1XRD 
** Todd: UML diagrams generated by "Enterprise Architect" ... will be posting the full set ... 
** Misha: the diagrams are complete; slightly difficult to read now -- some parts not 'relevant' to [[BioPortal]] could be removed to make it more readable; with the new update, a lot of changes coming in anyway as an ontology is being used 
*** Misha will help provide a list of the 'relevant' subset of classes 
** Benjamin: MDA? 
*** ... Todd: probably stick with UML now, and eventually move to CL? 
** Peter / Todd: will add revision level onto the diagrams in the future ... the ones from before, we'll add a date for identification purposes 
** Peter: [[MishaDorf|Misha Dorf]] suggested a full UML diagram and a highlight diagram ... guess Todd is working on them (haven't heard from him yet) 
** Todd/2009.07.10 - full set of UML diagrams (on [[BioPortal]] 2.0) uploaded to the server (as of 2009.06.14) 
*** see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OOR/oor-dev/BioPortal_3Mar2009_UML-Model_ToddSchneider_20090614/index.html 
** ALL: vote of thanks to Todd 
** Todd: (ref. Misha's suggestion of doinga "highlighted" version with some of the packages removed) think it is better use of time to do another set of diagrams oo the recently updated version of [[BioPortal]] (v2.1d) instead 
*** Peter: suggest that Todd might ping Misha via the [oor-dev] list to get his advice on when best to grab the new codes for reverse engineering 
*** Misha already responded - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2009-07/msg00001.html 
*** Todd: just downloaded the new [[BioPortal]] v2.1d released codes (1016) - will have the UML diagrams by the next call 

*  
** K: we might want to do some acknowledgment on trademarks like "UML" (which is a registered trademark of OMG) 
*** Peter to add line on [[CreditsAcknowledgement|Credits Acknowledgement]] page 
**** done! - see:  http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreditsAcknowledgement#nid1YWO (--ppy/200907.10-11:36) 

* Potential for collaboration with the geospatial ontology folks''' - [[NancyWiegand|Nancy Wiegand]] / [[GaryBergCross]] 
** Nancy: intro; SOCoP - submitting a grant proposal to NSF again; possibility of using OOR for their work 
** Gary: intro - SOCoP secretary; use of ontology repository for interoperability, social aspect of sharing; 
** Mike: welcome the collaboration; probably some additional features needed to support geospatial ontologies 
*** Nancy: how much development is expected? 
** K: how much data will be involved .. using data.gov? 
*** Gary: possibly using some USGS data (K: which is already linked to data.gov) 
** Nancy: supporting data store ... or just ontologies 
** Todd: OOR not supposed to provide data store ... but can consider a extension project to work on 
** Nancy: is the infrastructure stable ... and expected to be around for many years? 
*** Mike: the intent is "Yes!" 
** Gary: Nancy is the PI; proposal due in July; 
** K: National Geospatial Symposium ... 
** Ken: already has a grant ... can share some of the language used ... Nancy will contact Ken 
*** Ken: will work with Nancy on this offline 
** Ken/2009.07.10 update - I am working with Nancy to supply her some of the language for her proposal 
** Peter: Ontolog has provided Nancy and Gary a "Letter of Collaboration" to NSF - see: [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/Ontolog_doc/SOCoP_NSF07565-Letter-of-Collaboration--Ontolog_20090703.pdf the Letter] 
** Mike/2009.07.10 - will do "Support Letter" to NSF (for this proposal) on behalf of OOR too (--done! MikeDean/2009.07.20) - see: [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OOR/OOR_doc/SOCoP_NSF07565-Support--OOR_20090720.pdf the Letter] 
** Ken: coming from the experience as a review panelist, these letters can help (as well as hurt) a proposal 

* '''Progress review on planned OOR-related events:''' 

* Joint OOR-Ontolog Panel sessions ... on deck: 
** panel session on Protege / webProtege / [[BioPortal]] / [[CODS]] / OOR-sandbox ... and how they work together, now and in the near future ... this is more a OOR user and content providers' session (this would go right before Natasha's's OOR implementers and developers' session) - chair: Mark Musen - date confirmed Thu 16-July-2009 
*** panelists will mainly be from Stanford / NCBO 
** panel session on "BioPortal-based ontology repository implementation and development" - chair: Natasha Noy - date confirmed Thu 30-July-2009 
*** candidate panelists: NCBO folks, MMI folks, OOR- [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]], [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]], [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]], AlexGarcia, [[KatherineGoodier|Katherine Goodier]] (cultural codebase) ...  StephenGranite?, BartGajderowicz?, [[GaryBergCross]]? 
** panel session on "OOR Research Issues" - champion: [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]] - the date needs to be rescheduled 
*** candidate panelists: Michael, Leo->SuzetteStowtenburg, Natasha Noy, [[ElisaKendall|Elisa Kendall]], [[ChrisWelty|Chris Welty]], OOR team members from the EU, (and possibly other who were engaged when the OOR initiative first started ([[OpenOntologyRepository|ref.]]). 
*** Ken will send out a doodle scheduler on this soon! 
** Ken/2009.07.10 update - session now scheduled for Thu 2009.08.06 - see: ConferenceCall_2009_08_06 
*** Panelists: [[MathieuDaquin|Mathieu Daquin]], [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]], AlexGarcia, [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]], [[ElisaKendall|Elisa Kendall]], [[CarlosRueda|Carlos Rueda]], [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]] 
*** will get people to contribute (between now and then) and collect thought on the page at: [[OOR/ResearchIssues]] 
*  
** Peter: noting the huge overlap of panelists (and possibly topics) between the 7/30 & 8/06 sessions ... suggest we try to leverage that to our advantage 
*** Ken: I will be looking more for discussions, rather than presentation 
**** also, looking for longer term issue rather than more immediate issues 
*** Ken, Natasha, Mike and Peter will try to coordinate offline in the organizational effort 

* '''OOR-related project and activities status updates:''' 

* Natasha: "Workshop on Collaborative Construction, Management and Linking of Structured Knowledge" proposal for ISWC2009 - proposal went in 2009.05.01 
** CFP is out - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-forum/2009-06/msg00001.html - submission deadline 10 August 2009 
** maybe results from the Aug-6 "Research Issues" panel can give us ammunition to make a report during that workshop 

* '''OOR sandbox instance - status review''' - http://oor-01.cim3.net 
** Benjamin: major update - [[BioPortal]] v2.1d - to be released on 12-Jun-2009 
*** Natasha/2009.06.12 - slightly delayed, release date could now be a couple of week out 
** Peter: hardware for OOR sandbox-2 (and later the production instance of OOR) will be ready fairly soon (next few days). 
*** an updated version of the CODS server will also be installed on that hardware cluster 
** Peter/2009.07.10 - hardware is now ready ... once the Stanford / NCBO are back from their International Conference (this week) in Amsterdam 

* '''OOR Outreach''' 

* ISWC 2009 
** candidates: A poster on OOR; also presentation as a "Lightning Talk"; BOF meeting 
** Todd, K & Ken will champion and coordinate this group of efforts 
*** Ken/2009.7.10: work the poster is in progress 
*** Mike: would be great if we could also do a demo ... Ken: we'll submit that (a demo) as part of the proposal. 
*** Ken / Mike / Michael: we'll do something to demo Common Logic support too 

* K: I am involved in some of the Obama cyberinfrastructure/security initiatives, and am promoting the use of an OOR 
** Todd: you might consider participating in the NCOIC community too, K. 

* '''OOR development''' activities 
** Michael: running into issues with trying to add FOL/CL upload/download onto the [[BioPortal]] codebase 
*** Michael: issues with inherent binary relationship limitation with the existing OWL implementation (based on Protege) 
*** Natasha: [[BioPortal]] now supports two backends now - the Protege backend and the [[LexGrid]] (OBO/Mayo) backend 
*** [[PatCassidy|Pat Cassidy]]: translate? ... having a CL backend for Protege would be useful 
** Peter: please continue this conversation on the [oor-dev] list 
** K: possibly add another use case for CL 
** Peter/2009.07.10: would love to see Mike's team (or Mike to take the lead on a broader effort) would do a native FOL backend for the OOR 
** Ken/2009.07.10: we need internal interfaces ... modularization ... [Ken, please elaborate ...] 
** Todd/2009.07.10: need to re-emphasize that we should keep a focus on storing and retrieving "stuff" (so far, the focus has been too much on "ontologies")  ... need separation of concerns 
*** one issue is adaptability 
** Michael/2009.07.10 - we'll get some questions about working on a CL backend onto the [oor-dev] list, and look forward to the Jul-16 & Jul-30 sessions to get some clarification. 

*  
** Bart: anyone interested to collaborate on "ontology mapping" work, especially in the context of the updated release (v2.1d) of OOR? 
*** Mike: look at SNOGGLE - http://snoggle.semwebcentral.org 

* Other '''Progress updates and Discussions:''' 

* ''no discussion'' 

* '''Funding and proposals''' 
** Peter: suggest picking up the effort ... NSF solicitation like [http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=502112&org=OCI&sel_org=OCI&from=fund INTEROP (07-565)] (due 2009.07.23), [http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=500066&org=OCI&sel_org=OCI&from=fund STCI (PD 06-7231)] (due 2009.08.13) 
*** Peter: (in the spirit of the encouraged pairwise collaboration) I'll be making proposals to the INTEROP and STCI programs with Mark Musen 
*** Ken: I'll look into either INTEROP or STCI to see if we can do something 
** Ken will be in the DC Area Jul-13 for an NIH panel. Ken and K could meet up and do some coordination during that visit 
** Bart: what kind of help can we get (for proposals in Canada) 
*** Ken: ping me off-line for some reference on previously submitted proposal 
*** Mike: we can provide a "Letter of Collaboration"
