  • Outstanding Issue review/update: (from last call)

Suggested topics to be covered:

  • Re-assessing our resources & discuss student support with Michael Grüninger and (possibly) KathyLaskey
    • Given the addition of US-EU collaboration and student efforts, suggest we get a chance to collectively re-assess who is actively "on" now, what resources they are bringing to the table, and then tweaking and fine tune our implementation approach again
    • (from the 2008.12.12 call) Todd and Mike will go check on possibility of companies to sponsor project and provide some small funding for student travel (to report on their projects) and the like
      • (from the 2009.01.09 call)Todd: No (not for now) from his company

    • Michael: have one student available now, and another available in April
      • inclination towards first order logic ... starting up a project called COLORE - common logic ontology repository (the student available in April does not even have to be working on this)
    • Todd / Michael: focus on implementation and functional issues
      • Todd: hopefully based on ontological engineering approaches
    • Peter: we still don't have a OOR repository for people to put ontologies into yet! That should be among our first steps
    • Ken / Peter: this group is still working on an NSF proposal, but we are not waiting ... should move the OOR project with volunteer work and passion
    • Michael: maybe we should explore what is the simplest things we can do in the next six months that could help move the project forward
    • maybe we should do a take-2 on "Getting OOR Development Off the Ground: Identifying Synergies & Gaps" - ref: take-1: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_08_22
      • this time around we pre-define what we needs to walk out of that meeting with

      • Ken: I am sure there are people who would want to contribute, but we need to identify the "gaps" that they can fill in
      • Todd: if I remember correctly, Kathy even suggested that a whole class would work on a piece like that
