Agenda & Proceedings

  • welcome and intro of new member(s) (as needed)

3. Status Review and Discussion:

  • Urgent issues:
    • OOR-sandbox down ... probably need to update to latest version of BioPortal.

Key items for review and discussion today

  • OOR code-repository and re-assessing the 'fork' (what does that mean?) [MikeDean, Ken Baclawski, et al.]
    • postponing the update report to next meeting
    • Dean / Yuri: repository works (population of codebase pending)
  • planning for an upcoming panel session on OOR metadata [MichaelGruninger]
    • date reserved - Fri 2011.03.18 (see action item below too)
  • ideas and suggestions (some involving work previously done by the NeOn project) [MathieuDaquin]
    • Mathieu: see proposed architecture (what I think would be an "ideal" ontology repository) at - http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OpenOntologyRepository/OOR-Architecture/OOR-Architecture-Candidates/OOR-architecture-proposal--MathieuDaquin_20110204.pdf
    • Many of the components mentioned exist and can be directly reused. The aspects that we would be keen to work (not making commitments now, though) on are:
      • the versioning element, which as far as I can tell, has not been treated very well in existing ontology repositories
      • common vocabularies to access and describe ontology repositories (OMV exist and should be employed in my opinion, but there is still a lot to do on exposing content of repositories to other repositories, "common APIS" for aggregating content, etc.)
      • the access right aspects, which are a bit tricky in a collaborative ontology-based environment
      • the use of ontology repositories in ontology engineering environments (especially to facilitate reuse and through integrating with ontology editors).
    • Part of that has been partially considered in NeOn, but there is quite significant work to be done in order to actually deliver such features.
  • continue discussion on: Architecture, API and (default) Development Platform [All]
    • Yuriy Milov: should we be architecting (i) just a repository, or (ii) a semantic platform ... ?
      • Peter / Leo: we can bring this up at the next time we have a panel session on the topic
    • Organizing a next Panel session on this - date reserved: Fri 2011.03.04
