== Agenda & Proceedings  ==

1. Meeting called to order: 

* [[LeoObrst|Leo Obrst]] took the chair and welcomed everyone 

* [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] volunteered to take minutes of the meeting 

* review and adopt agenda 

2. Roll Call: 

* see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2008_12_18#nid1Q7I above] 

3. '''Discussions:''' 

* getting to know one another - (go around) self-introductions 

* Ontology Summits - Overview and what has come before 
** going over the summit theme and description - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009#nid1Q2F 
** meeting agrees the description looks fine, and suggest possibly tweaking with the following: 
*** [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: could we slip in standards to be unstood by both humans and machine 
*** [[LeoObrst|Leo Obrst]] & [[FabianNeuhaus|Fabian Neuhaus]]: representing standards in a logical language allows for them to be expressed precisely, unambiguously and allow for automated consistency, validity checks etc. 
*** [[PeterBenson|Peter Benson]]: beware of the use of "information" - let's mull over this on the [ontology-summit-org] list 
**** [[PeterBenson|Peter Benson]] & [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: maybe the original tag line: "Ontologies as the Next Generation Standards" is actually better 

* getting ready for the [[OntologySummit2009]] community-wide planning meeting today - ref. ConferenceCall_2008_12_18 

* who are on our Organizing Committee and Advisory Committee? 
** terms of reference explained 
** defer discussion to the next organizing committee call
