Agenda & Proceedings

We will be spending the first hour of the call in our regular meeting agenda items (including the focused discussion described above), and use an (optional) additional hour on wiki editing tutorial and sharing of best practices.

1) Welcome & confirmation of agenda

  • Steve Ray took the chair and welcomed everyone.
  • Co-chair Leo Obrst will be joining shortly

2) Appointment of secretary to take minutes

3) Roll-call of participants

4) Focused Discussions:

  • coordinate the synthesis of the "Ontology Summit 2007" virtual discourse
    • volunteer editors: Charles Turnitsa, Kurt Conrad, Ken Baclawski, Bob Smith ...
    • Steve: move the links to the pertinent wiki pages to a more conspicuous position
    • we should move the summit dialog back to [ontology-summit] rather than [ontolog-forum]
      • use [ontolog-forum] for formal ontology conversations and the [ontology-summit] to achieve our Ontology Summit 2007 objectives
  • figure out how best to summarize the dialog into a collaborative write-up, and eventually our written communique
  • Alan Bond: breaking it down to 3 components for an ontology (roughly: the community, the language and the application) - Alan will make a post to the [ontology-summit] list - done: see Alan's post on 2007.02.16
  • Leo Obrst: we should post to other community list and advertise this effort
  • Tom Gruber: analogy with the network stack (levels)
    • Leo Obrst: that's our framework ... and proposed typology objective
    • Steve: remember to provide a simplistic entry point
    • go for a function (or value) oriented framework
  • Leo Obrst: we want to capture the 'value' (or perceived value) of what each of these community's 'ontologies' are bring to the table
    • capture that the anecdotal input (maybe within survey)
    • Alan Bond: try also capturing 'issues' as well
      • Tom Gruber: specific problems they need help with
    • therefore survey should also include each constituencies 'value' and 'issues' input [attn: Peter]
  • Steve Ray: I wasn't sure earlier if we wanted to ask people for artifacts, but I agree now it would be a good things

5) Any other business

  • doing anything with the "Semantic Technology Conference"?
