ppy/Ontolog-BoT-n04_notes_20140807a.txt ------ Chat transcript from room: ontolog-bot_20140807 2014-08-07 GMT-08:00 [PDT] ------ [9:27] MichaelGruninger: Agenda:Roll call; review and adopt agenda Infrastructure Status Report Future Sessions planning, in particular, the Ontology-based Standards miniseries and possible sessions to continue the Rules,Reasoning,LP miniseries (4D) AOB (4E) Next meeting [9:38] PeterYim: AmandaVizedom volunteered to be scribe for this session, and will be chairing the next BoT meeting [9:39] MichaelGruninger: Summarize the issue about the domain name for Ontolog? [9:40] PeterYim: Michael / Mike: there is consensus to use the OntologForum.org as the domain name for the future [9:41] MikeBennett: Ken's email: Unfortunately, ontolog.org, ontolog.net and ontolog.com are unavailable (and similarly for ontology.*) [9:42] MikeBennett: ontolog.info was available (may be ideal for a general place to find info) [9:42] PeterYim: KenBaclawski also mentioned that he can redirect others: like OntologForum.net and ontolog.info (which he has also registered) to that as well [9:44] AmandaVizedom: Currently, the taken "ontolog" domains have potentially malicious squatters on them. For example, if you try to go to ontolog.org, Chrome will block it and warn that it contains malware... [9:47] AmandaVizedom: This is an issue because people will mistakenly go to the squatted domains and possibly be damaged. That may block using ontolog.info, for example. [9:48] AmandaVizedom: I believe that this is precisely why Ken registered all common variants of "OntologForum": in order to prevent malicious squatting on whichever we don't use. [9:49] AmandaVizedom: We can redirect the unused variants; possibly, we could also use them differently, along the lines suggested by John. Alternately, we may want to subdomains, down the road. [9:59] MichaelGruninger: Peter will send his summary of the Infrastructure Status to the Trustee list [10:02] John Sowa: I have to leave now. [10:05] AmandaVizedom: http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/FutureOntologInfrastructure [10:07] PeterYim: once again, I urge that the BoT would enforce the continuation of the practice of employing the Ontolog-CWE (collaborative work environment - website, archived mailing-list, wiki and shared-file workspace) as a knowledge repository. [10:10] MichaelGruninger: Future Sessions planning [10:10] PeterYim: == Future Sessions planning ... [10:11] MichaelGruninger: Upcoming sessions for the Ontology-based Standards miniseries: [10:11] MichaelGruninger: S3. Ontology-based Standards in Manufacturing [BobYoung, MichaelGruninger, RichardMartin] S5. Standards and Ontology Metadata [ElisaKendall, TerryLongstreth] S6. Ontologies for Social Networks [KenBaclawski, EricChan] S7. How ontologies can help with the formal specification of the natural language standards [SimonSpero, RichardMartin, MarkJohnson, KenBaclawski, AdamWyner] S8. Synthesis and harmonization of the ontologies and standards presented in the miniseries [???] [10:13] MichaelGruninger: Thursday dates: September 4 September 11 October 2 October 9 October 16 October 23 October 30 November 6 [10:13] MichaelGruninger: November 13 [10:15] MichaelGruninger: October 2 is the best date for S3. Ontology-based Standards in Manufacturing [10:15] MichaelGruninger: I am still waiting for responses about the other Ontology-based Standards sessions [10:19] MichaelGruninger: LeoObrst is waiting to hear from the organizers of the Rules,Reasoning,LP miniseries [10:20] MikeBennett: It would be good to have something which talks to cognitive science in ontologies, whether or not this aligns with the current use of buzzwords in "Cognitive Computing". [10:21] AmandaVizedom: Ad-hoc suggestion: what is Cognitive Computing and how is it related to ontology? [10:21] AmandaVizedom: Example event: http://www.cognitivecomputingforum.com/ [10:22] AmandaVizedom: "Cognitive Computing Forum was designed to help you understand the new world of Cognitive Analytics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reasoning and next generation AI." [10:24] PeterYim: I think the "Cognitive Computing" buzzword will stick ... it might even be a candidate topic for the next OntologySummit. ... Doing one session to drum up interest and explore is not a bad idea [10:25] PeterYim: Amanda / Mike /Peter: the ONTOLOG community and its members are definitely active in that space [10:32] MichaelGruninger: Solicit ontolog forum members for ideas/topics for upcoming sessions [10:32] MichaelGruninger: Next BoT meeting will be either Sept 4 or 11, contingent on planning for Ontology-based Standards and Rules,Reasoning,LP miniseries [10:35] MikeBennett: I see that SemTechBiz and the Cognitive Computing Forum event are organized by the same company [10:35] PeterYim: this is likely my next-to-last regular BoT meeting attendance ... I will be doing some traveling after Sep-15 (and therefore, my target is to get all the migration work done by that date too!) [10:36] PeterYim: -- session ended: 1:34pm EDT -- [10:36] List of attendees: AmandaVizedom, John Sowa, MichaelGruninger, MikeBennett, MikeDean, PeterYim [10:36] Sent transcript to: ppy@cim.us ------
