- including thoughts on:
- ontology life cycle
- OMV
- GRDDL
2. Language support:
- not just for the semantic web
- OWL and Common Logic would be good starters
- other modules added as groups get motivated to contribute
3. Infrastructure:
- Peter to prepare the infrastructure
- Linux ([[CentOS]])
- mysql
- tomcat (java)
- using SemWebCentral (http://SemWebCentral.org) as a repository for the development work
4. Engaging participants:
- have panel sessions again (that seems to have an effective way to engage people)
- stand up a repository for early adopters
- caveat: don't put your only copy of the ontology there yet
- 3 meeting per month - Fridays (starting at our OOR regular time: 9:00am PDT / 12:00pm EDT / 16:00 UTC )
- one for system and software development
- one for ontology repository content development
- one for planning/admin
- plan one panel session for the BioPortal-XMDR-Software-Infrastructure folks ASAP
- try for Fri 2008.06.13 or 2008.06.20

Agenda & Meeting Notes
0. Appoint chair and scribe; roll call & confirm agenda.
- Mike chairs, Peter will take notes
1. What will the first phase roll out of OOR be supporting
- OWL, CL
- RDF, SKOS, OWL, CL
- XML, RDF, SKOS, OWL, CL
- Mike: let people vote with their code
- RDF/OWL, CL - almost out minimal set
- XML & SKOS is something we might want to discuss - definitely a valuable addition
- have uploaded 'prototype' to SemWebCentral ... have added a SKOS placeholder already
- Mark: working with LexGrid which is dealing with most of the legacy contents in biomedical informatics
- moving forward SNOMAD folks will move to OWL
- federating with LexGrid is valuable -- which is what BioPortal is doing
- offering to have BioPortal offering the components that it is already working on for OOR, allowing OOR to seek funding for other pieces, like CL, federation, ... etc.
- releasing BioPortal v2.0 on 08-Aug-2008
- Leo: think EU participation and other related efforts
- OMV ... Mark, we'll be using an extended version of it
- LARC & ..?.
- Mark: note also - FrankHartel's TOP (Terminology Open Portal)
- CL
- need Pat in the conversation
- Reasoner, COE (visualizer), ...
- XML
- need Bruce for this conversation
- other XML regrep folks we want to get involved (now that Farrukh has decided to play a more oberserving role)?
2. What disparate technologies do we have got to start with?
3. How do we integrate the above (2.)?
4. Short Term action plan:
- Mark: Mike and Benjamin should have a conversation - Mark will put them in touch
- see also: http://alpha.bioportal.org
- Peter: get BioPortal, CODS and Mike's UI into the (new) cim3 server
- need to define different roles - have the Use Cases subgroup help
5. Get initial consensus on a date for the "Synergies & Gaps" panel discussion session
- Mike: try also to have people (current repository operators) describe their webservice interfaces
- tentative: Fri 2008.08.15 - 2Hr starting 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT (preferred)
- alternate : Fri 2008.08.08 - 2Hr starting 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT
6. Any other business
7. Next meeting / Adjournment
- try to get all here (and your development crew), Bruce and Pat too, to join us at the OOR-team call on 11-Aug-2008
