== Agenda & Proceedings ==

1) Welcome & confirmation of agenda

* [[SteveRay|Steve Ray]] took the chair and welcomed everyone.

2) Appointment of secretary to take minutes

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

3) Roll-call of participants - see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2006_03_25#nidLY5 above]

4) Urgent matters to be attended to

5) Communications, logistics, & work protocols issues

* recording and transcripts
** segment-2 of the main UOS meeting (2006.03.15 afternoon) already posted - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummitMeeting_2006_03_15#nidLXO
** segment-1 could have been corrupted due to some technical issues with the new equipment (now still try to salvage)
** the taping of the other two meetings (2006.03.14 & 2006.03.15 morning) probably not complete
** phone line also got dropped when someone kicked the polycomm power adapter off the wall

* Lessons learned
** someone should be monitoring the dial-in call
** we should provide a cell-phone number for people to call, in case anything happened with the dial-in

* hold-off on doing transcript until we have all the recordings in (we'll decide then, if it is worth the effort and cost.)

* we discussed some of the logistics related issues
** venue
** registration
** refreshments

6) Follow-up from [[UpperOntologySummit|previous meetings]]

7) Status review and ongoing discussions

* UOS postmortem
** what went well
*** Pat / Peter: the whole series of meetings went real well (which took us, like 80% of the way even before we met in person)
*** the mailing list discussion prior to the meeting was really help
*** lots of credit should go to Doug
*** the collaborative authoring, while tedious, was worth it -- ownership, a deliverable, a stake in the ground, of historical significance, ...
** what needs improvement
*** some of the logistics issues described earlier
** how would we do it differently next time
*** following-up:
**** Steve: ongoing discussion in a collaborative work environment
*** e-mail discussion can be improved
**** discipline, metadata, topic-specific-threading
**** augmented by a wiki page

* press coverage of the event
** So far, the only article explicitly mentioning upper ontologies is [http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/techbeat/tb2006_0306.htm#events this NIST Techbeat article]. Our public affairs folks are sending out a more focused packet to the media targetted on the Upper Ontology Summit this coming week.
** There are some [http://www.mel.nist.gov/msid/msidnews.htm other articles] covering Interoperability Week, but none of them picked up the ontology aspect.

* what next?
** update to version 1.02 of [[UpperOntologySummit/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2006_03_25/UosJointCommunique]] to include added endorsements (~3/31/06)
** do we really want a next iteration of the Joint Communique?
*** Pat: maybe one shot (to make it flow better)
*** Steve / Leo / Peter: let's leave the historical artifact (for the UOS event it is associated with) aside ... whatever addition goes into a different document
**** Steve: we should be aware that there is always the view of some people that this is a group of academics that only talks
**** Dagobert: suggestion - the first page of the white paper could be your "improved version" (Pat: good idea!)
** institutionalizing the continuing effort
*** in what organizational form?
**** moving this into Ontolog and to engage the larger ontolog community
** follow-ups relating to funding
*** NSF joint activities?
** follow-ups relating to standradization
*** NIST, ISO, OASIS, IEEE ... collaboration?
** getting to work on the intended interrelated UO deliverable
** SICoP working relationship

*
** Technical
*** Ontolog community can frame some of the issues, and bring the discussion to a point that could move it toward standardization
*** IKRIS: aligning PSL with Cyc - reach out to [[JerryHobbs|Jerry Hobbs]] and whoever else is on the content

*
** Convener role of Ontolog
*** NCOR can define the directions, definitions, glossaries, maintain the quality, ...
*** NIST: methodology, quality control, testing, ...
*** the IEEE, ISO, ... will have to be developing the standards
*** Ontolog can be where people can plug into
**** Steve: possibility that Ontolog can host the registry, with NCOR doing the certification of the content

* other discussions
** Pat: Doug mentioned something like: it will be one man-year to express all of DOLCE in Cyc
** putting up a glossary
*** Leo: NCOR is also planning on something like that
*** Steve: maybe we'll put "upper ontology" into wikipedia
*** Pat: I'd like to start the page on "semantic interoperability" into wikipedia, there is no such page yet

8) New Issues discussed:

* Should we have a joint presence at OIS2006? - OIS2006: 1st International Workshop on Ontologizing Industrial Standards
** November 6-9, 2006 - Tucson, Arizona, USA - colocated with the 25th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2006)
** see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum//ontolog-forum/2006-03/msg00020.html & http://events.deri.at/ois2006/
* also (conflicting calendar):
** FOIS-2006 (Nov. 9~11, 2006 Baltimore, MD)
** International Semantic Web Conferece (Athens, Georgia) - same week
** Leo: a Rules conference around that time too.

9) Action Items

* Leo will start a conversation on the [uos-convene] list to start a project and focus effort on "the whitepaper."

10) Next meeting date and adjournment

* Next meeting?
** move this into Ontolog - therefore, this conversation will continue at the next Ontolog call Thu 2006.03.30 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST

* call adjourned 8:23 pm PST / 11:23 pm EST
