**** Q2. any discussion on how ontologies will be indexed? ... Mike: reference made to [[OntologySummit2008|Ontology Summit 2008]] 
**** Pat will help upload some ontologies to the OOR-sandbox (v.2) in the near future -- those he uploaded previously to the v.1 sandbox, updated, and add ontologies like SUMO (in OWL), etc. 
**** Pat: suggest we add a link to swoogle (and other ontology search engine) too, to allow people to search, both within and without the OOR.

**** Pat will contact Denise and come back with a date selection within a week -- candidate date Mar-25
