== Tasks at Hand  ==

''... this and the following sections need to be updated!'' 

* From the Fri 2011.03.18 workshop: ([http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-forum/2011-03/msg00023.html#nid03 ref.]) 
** 1. (near term) to review Ken's use cases to validate the adequacy of OMV. 
*** Action Item 1: Evaluate the adequacy of OMV with respect to the OOR
use cases at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/ontologies/ 
** 2. (urgent) drive the OOR sandbox to production-box transition. 
*** Action Item 2: Focus on issues related to "production" OOR, particularly the gatekeeper functionality. 
** 3. (medium term) we need research, discuss, and sought expert advice on state-of-art on versioning, identifier, etc. 
*** we might want to schedule a panel session to delve into this. 
*** we can schedule another "OOR Metadata Workshop" in about a month or so as a follow-up. 

== Proposed  ==

18 March 2011 - OOR will use the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/omv2/files/ OMV] ontology as the core metadata ontology. 

18 March 2011 - OMV will be extended to import additional extensions needed to support OOR (e.g., ontology configurations, version history) 

22 March 2011 - [[JohnGraybeal|John Graybeal]] proposes evaluating using MMI's [http://marinemetadata.org/community/teams/ont/mmirepository/communityontmetadata Ontology Metadata for Community Ontologies] as an extension 

== Discussion of Proposal  ==

... ''(please insert - kindly identify yourself, and date the entries!)'' 

[[JohnGraybeal|John Graybeal]] 2011.03.22:  MMI spent considerable time determining what metadata would be important to have for ontologies that are maintained on behalf of communities that develop information resources.  We found a number of metadata items that were important for ongoing management of ontologies -- where they came from, how they are maintained, frequency of update, licensing and permission, and even more refined details -- in addition to the OMV metadata specified at that time.  We didn't implement everything we envisioned, but do have a fair number in our system.  The [http://marinemetadata.org/community/teams/ont/mmirepository/communityontmetadata Ontology Metadata page] provides a summary of our conclusions.
