Pertinent Inputs and Resources

Notes from the 2008.04.19 10:30am EDT conference call

Conference call details:

Proceedings

1. Outline of presentation

  • Leo: summarizing - (i) Overview, rationale and motivations, (ii) existing efforts, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iii) what people need, and how they satisfy the rationale, (iv) summarizing that into requirements, and how they satisfy the rationale, & (v) the roadmap to developing/delivering that in an OOR implementation effort, and how they satisfy the rationale <--adopted   
    • Michelle: maybe we can call item (i) "Value proposition" (which is business speak)   
      • re: labeling (i), we could do both -- to satisfy the geeks as well as the business folks
  • Mike:
    • we should look to the past as well as to the future
    • the communique will be covering a lot of this too, right?
    • we might tweak this based on input of the day-and-a-half before the presentation
  • Peter: differentiating our presentation vs. the summit presentations
    • discussion group vs. implementation group
    • pragmatics
    • sustainability
    • the OOR-Team - identifying members, implementers and observers

2. Splitting up the work

  • Leo: (i) & (ii);
  • Peter - (iii) & (iv);
  • Mike - (v)
  • Leo: make sure we include ALL the 2-slide summaries (verbatim) that the OOR-Panelists turned in. That's the "contract" when we solicited those two slides from them.

3. next call to review merged draft

4. candidate presentation format / presenters:

  • (i) Opening - Leo - 10 min.
  • (ii) thru (iv) - 10 minutes each

    • (iv) implementer requirements
  • (v) roadmap - 20 min

  • platform, model, federation, connecting other repositories & loose ontologies, support, ... phasing, funding, 'open' advocacy
  • aligning with institutions (like Apache Foundation)
  • community linked by shared best practice ... and a cool logo
    • use something like the W3C Linking Open Data initiative model as a stepping stone to get the OOR initiative off the ground
