=== 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
