... Notes below are from previous meeting(s), and will be updated as this meeting progresses.

  • Discussion: the newly adopted dual-track OOR approach
    • action planning
      • we run (for now) 2 instances - a sandbox instance[1] on the OOR-01 vm, and an experimental instance[2] on the OOR-02 vm
        • [1] this will be a straight forward, and updated BioPortal code install, with customization only for: the logo, the IP / License statement, categories.
        • [2] this will be the instance we use to continue the current work of further development in Architecture, API, metadata, CL support, etc.
        • consensus: both instances would use the same database (so ontologies uploaded are accessible by both instances, and are obviously "in sync" ... saving us the need to "import" as we ad discussed at the last meeting)
      • Peter: the next things to push is to have "gatekeeping" in place so we can stand up a "production" OOR
  • OOR-sandbox and OOR-devbox status update
  • assessing a strengthened OOR-NCBO collaborative relationship
  • OOR-sandbox and OOR-devbox status update
  • Status and action review: OOR-dev box - http://oor-03.cim3.net
  • Status and action review: SOCoP presentation box - http://socop.oor.net (at BBN?)
  • updating "categories"
    • Peter: the ICOM people suggests adding the categories of "standards" and "collaboration" (the latter probably belongs under "Cultural"
    • Mike: something like Dublin Core should go under "metadata" - we are adding this category, "process" too
    • discussed - see updated "category" list at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_08_05#nid2W6B
    • one can select multiple categories by doing a "ctrl-click" (or "cmd" for Mac users)
    • Ken: the software stores "categories" in an OMV ontology, and support a hierarchy of nested categories
      • Mike: there is a GUI interface for adding categories
    • All: we probably want to leave it simple (one level) and support "addition of categories" on demand
    • Todd: For some categories, e.g., science, subcategories will be needed. Since the provided listing is linear, subcategories could be listed as pairs or triples: Science, Science - Biology, Science-Physics, Science-Physics-Gravitation, etc.
    • Leo: we might consider adopting some standard categorization, like what the Library of Congress has put out (maybe not the entire hierarchy, but only the very upper level(s)
  • Category list (based on MikeDean's list): (updated 2011.08.05)
    • Upper Ontologies
    • Standards (for example, Measurement)
    • Science (for example, Biomedical)
    • Financial
    • Government
    • Cultural (for example, Social Networking, People)
    • Geospatial
    • Commercial
    • Literature
    • Technology
    • Provenance
    • Defense
    • Metadata (for example, OMV, Dublin Core)
    • Process (for example, PSL)
    • Other
  • Getting us to a stage when members can contribute code ... how, ETA?
    • (discussion 2011.05.06):
      • an adopted Architecture & API is definitely crucial, but that's not all
    • All team members are encouraged to mull over how we can get to that state effectively
      • in particular ... how do we make this a "successful" community-driven, open source project!?
    • (discussion 2011.06.03) ...
  • code development on an Eclipse IDE for all?
  • Code repository - considering "git" or github?
  • Getting us to a stage when we can run a OOR-production box ... what's still needed, ETA?
    • ...
