Agenda & Proceedings

1. Meeting called to order:

2. Roll Call:

3. Urgent Issues:

  • scheduling and programming for the Apr. 23 & 24, 2007 face-to-face meetings and symposium
    • Monday am: "The Framework" (Agreeing to the final picture) - Co-chairs: Leo Obrst / Michael Grüninger
    • Monday pm: "Populating the Framework" (Endorsing the picture) - Co-chairs: Chris Welty / Tom Gruber
    • (Tueday early am: NIST Interoperability Week Plenary)
    • Tueday am: Finalizing the Communique - Co-Chair: Olivier Bodenreider / Frank Olken
    • Tueday pm: The Symposium (public meeting) - Chair: Steve Ray / NicolaGuarino?
      • Keynote: Tom Gruber
      • Panel: ... (tbd)
        • ... we'll try to feature people who can represent the different perspectives of the various constituencies
        • also: a diverse representation (geographically)
        • and, most importantly, by merit ... based on quality and substantive contribution in the virtual discourse and synthesis phase.
we need to come to some virtual consensus even BEFORE the face-to-face

HCLS interest group co-chairs: Eric Neumann, Tonya Hongsermeier; Susie Stephens (BioRDF taskforce), Vipul Kashyap (BioONT taskforce); also need to engage more European folks

session co-chairs will make the call on how they will be running their session, but whatever it is, please communicate that with everyone, and get the 'invitations' out (where applicable) ASAP!
  • discuss the processing of the OntologySummit2007_Survey and forum discussion inputs, and to coordinate on the preparation for the Apr-23 & 24 Summit face-to-face workshops.
    • Peter: devoting part of the 05-Apr-2007 Ontolog weekly call to do it with Summit conveners. Please come, if possible.
    • Deborah: distribute the work and get various people to summarize for the rest of the community
      • Peter / Steve: various people already assign (especially, session co-chairs and volunteered wiki editors)
  • how can we effectively use the rest of the open Thursdays (Ontolog time slot) to help with the summit prep work before the f2f?
  • Discussion:
    • What could ensure us that we are bringing "value" to the community-at-large (or even the world-at-large), with this "Ontology Summit 2007" endeavor?
      • Steve: focus on the deliverables - and what will 'last' (even after all the discussions and the meetings) - that, possibly, could be the 'framework' that everyone could use in the future

4. Outstanding Issues:

  • Outstanding Issue Update:
    • organizing committee structure and protocol
    • Public Relations & The Press - Steve taking this on
      • Steve already working on a pre-event press release; hopefully one or two articles out before the F2F
    • "co-sponsorship" - those who confirmed via the survey has been updated to the wiki already.

5. New Issues:

6. Any Other Business:

  • Action Items:
    • Deborah, Leo & Michael to get in touch and start drafting the "framework"
    • Tom and Chris to get in touch with each other (if you haven't alerady) and get started on "populating"
    • Olivier & Frank are in touch now and will get started on drafting the "communique"
    • Peter to roll up the survey database and send it to Ken Baclawski for analysis,; also post it (for open access) so that the session co-chairs sice-and-dice the collected data and make use of them too
    • Since we only have 2 more organizing committee calls (Apr-10 & 17) and two available slots on the Ontolog Thursday conference call (Apr-5 & 19) where we can involve others in the community, please pitch in some ideas on how we could optimally use these time slots to advance the process in preparation for the Apr-23 & 24 face-to-face meetings.
    • Asked where should one start (to catch up) - Peter answered, from the top of the Ontology Summit 2007 project home page - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007

7. Schedule Next Meeting & Adjourn:

  • ALL: we will continue the discussion of today's agenda items on the [ontology-summit-org] list
  • Next Meeting: (candidate) unless otherwise re-scheduled (which we likely will) our next meeting will be a 30-minute conference call starting at Tue 10-Apr-2007 8:30am PDT / 11:30am EDT / 5:30pm CET / 15:30 UTC. (ref: world clock)
    • Steve Ray expects that he'll be missing the Apr-10 call.

  • Call adjourned at: 9:08 am PDT
