- Team member activities review (2VVK)
- Soliciting content (getting people to upload ontologies) (2VVL)
- Discussion: ... (we only had time to discuss the following important issue at this call, everything else were postponed.) (2VYW)
- Peter: we don't have the resources and bandwidth to really fork and support a customizedversion of BioPortal while we continue our development efforts (2VZ6)
- we also should put priority into operating a highly available, persistent, "production" ontology repository that is open to all (users, domains, etc.), as that is, I believe, the primary premise of the OOR effort ... enhancements and value added services should be predicated upon our being able to serve that first. (2VZ7)
- Consider two tracks: (a) production track using plain vanila up-to-date BioPortal (with mostly just a logo change), and (b) a parallel development track continuing with what we are doing now (2VYX)
- Ken / Peter: we should design in "import from BioPortal" to allow a smooth migration in the future (2VYY)
- Ken / Leo: note the linkage and dependencies between BioPortal and Protege (2VZ0)
- Peter / Mike: providing a repository for vocabularies of the LOD community would be a valuable service (2VZ2)
- Mike: valuable to be a registry just in and of itself (2VZ3)
- Tim: we approach OOR more from a user perspective; given limited volunteered resources we have, the proposals above seem reasonable (2VZ8)
- [decision] ALL: we will adopt the two-track plan above; and will discuss further, on implementation issues, at the next OOR-team conference call on 2011.08.05 (2VZ4)
- Peter: we don't have the resources and bandwidth to really fork and support a customizedversion of BioPortal while we continue our development efforts (2VZ6)
items below are from the previous meeting(s) and will be updated as we proceed with this meeting. (2VVM)
- Status and action review: upgrade to OOR-sandbox - http://oor-01.cim3.net or http://sandbox.oor.net (2VVN)
- workplan (from previous calls): (2VVO)
- prepare vm image (2VVV)
- vm image available for download - ETA (2VVW)
- TimDarr offer to help, some from his team of 8~10 people might get involved, most of the necessary skill sets in java programming, linux sysadmin, vmware, etc. are available (2VVX)
- (from 2011.05.06) ref input from PaulAlexander, BioPortal is now delivered as an "appliance" - in a vm image (2VVY)
- Anyhow, we need to install from the code - code from the semwebcentral oor code repository (2VW2)
- it is suggested that a conf call between us and the Stanford folks (with, say, TejasParikh, KenBaclawski, MikeDean with PaulAlexander, AlexSkrenchuk, ...) be done ASAP so that we can learn from them they key changes in the recent versions and how the installation is different now [ Ken will arrange ] (2VW3)
- Category list (based on MikeDean's list): (2VW4)

- Standards (for example, Measurement) (2VW6)

- Getting us to a stage when members can contribute code ... how, ETA? (2VWJ)
- (discussion 2011.05.06): (2VWK)
- an adopted Architecture & API is definitely crucial, but that's not all (2VWL)
- All team members are encouraged to mull over how we can get to that state effectively (2VWM)
- in particular ... how do we make this a "successful" community-driven, open source project!? (2VWN)

- categories - ref. MikeDean's msg - http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2011-02/msg00012.html (2VWT)
- 2011.02.18: *Important Note* - we will start afresh on the OOR sandbox content (i.e. uploaded ontologies) after the update install - everyone who has uploaded ontologies so far should note (2VWU)
- those who are "using" the OOR sandbox content now, should note down the ontologies they need, and may need to contact the authors to upload them again if they don't show up. (presumably, those content relating to biomedicine, previously federated from BioPortal, will not be there any more, at least not automatically.) Also, links to ontologies or elements within ontologies established previously will no longer be valid after the content gets re-populated - Ken will make a post about this on [oor-forum] (2VWV)
