Discussion notes:    (1TAP)

• trying to get ready for a software architecture that the oor-dev (OOR development) community can contribute into    (1TIF)

• first "sandbox" instance, based on the NCBO-BioPortal technology, being built out    (1TIG)
  • first "sandbox" virtual machine just became ready (from CIM3)    (1TIH)
  • Benjamin & team is trying to get the instance ready by the Feb-19 session    (1TII)

• For the Feb-19 session    (1TIJ)
  • Mike: suggest the NCBO folks provide a list of features working on now, and near-term on BioPortal    (1TIK)
  • Ken: asking for an OOR architecture    (1TIL)
  • Todd: asked Mark for the BioPortal architecture    (1TIM)
    • Benjamin has been working on this - see:    (1TIN)
      • http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/NCBO-OOR_Development    (1TIO)
      • http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/NCBO_Developer_Communications    (1TIP)
      • Benjamin solicits feedback on how these pages can be improved to better help the expanding development community    (1TIZ)
    • Todd will help to get a set of UML diagrams made for the architecture (maybe not before Feb-19, though)    (1TIY)

• Going foward with the OOR development    (1TIQ)
  • Benjamin & Mike: a fork? or a subversion branch which will eventually merging back to BioPortal?    (1TIR)
  • on the BioPortal gforge repository or on the oor-SemWebCentral gforge repository?    (1TIS)
  • ALL: decision to, at least for the time being, OOR will take a subversion branch and work off the BioPortal gforge repository    (1TIU)
    • we'll aim at eventually merging the code back to BioPortal    (1TIV)
    • Mike: the oor-SemWebCentral gforge repository will still be available if anyone (say, for a sub-project) needs it    (1TIW)
    • we'll defer to Benjamin & Mike to develop some simply controls as to who can commit, who has access, etc.    (1TIX)

• Benjamin: BioPortal development is in two major projects - Core (REST services) and Presentation (ruby on rails)    (1TIT)

• Todd requested that Bejamin make a comparison between what BiioPortal has to offer against the OpenOntologyRepository_Requirement    (1TJ0)

• Mike: suggest doing sessions of "code walkthrough" for developers who will be joining the team    (1TJ1)
