Open chat-workspace in a new browser window: http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/ontolog-bot_20140911 [9:31] MichaelGruninger: [11:36] MichaelGruninger: [consensus] First meeting for the Organizing Committee of Ontology Summit 2015 will be October 2, 2014 [9:35] KenBaclawski: I would like to talk a little about what is going on at Northeastern University that might be of interest to our community. [9:36] PeterYim: Leo will be scribe today (and will chair the next BoT call) [9:36] LeoObrst: I have not yet heard from my folks about the Ontology, Rules, Reasoning, LP mini-series; will have to ping them again. [9:39] AmandaVizedom1: == Agenda Adopted == [9:39] LeoObrst: Infrastructure status report discussion. [9:40] AmandaVizedom1: Peter's summary of Infratructure status last time: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-trustee/2014-08/msg00010.html] [9:47] PeterYim: Michael: for use of the conference bridge, the Thu 12:30pm EDT (2-Hrs) is reserved for Ontolog events already ... all other reservations need to be coordinated, for now MichaelGruninger will be the coordinator [9:48] LeoObrst: We will have a schedule of events somewhere (calendar), but without any connections details. [9:51] AmandaVizedom1: Mailing lists will continue to be hosted as-is. These are low-maintenance, and it is anticipated that at some point the mailing lists will be replaced by newer technologies. [9:51] PeterYim: [action] Michael will set up a IAOA-Ontolog event calendar [9:56] AmandaVizedom1: Discussion of routine, important documentation tasks that need coverage for future sessions. Ref page created by KenBaclawski... [9:56] MikeBennett: Is the documentation on the process for sorting out all the chat,archive and other record fromasession, posted on a handy wiki somewhere? [9:56] MikeBennett: So that when someone is the chair of an upcoming session we just point them to it [9:57] KenBaclawski: The procedure page is http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/Procedures [9:57] MikeBennett: Chair of a given session is given responsibility to fully document it, and would delegate as needed [9:59] AmandaVizedom1: I suggest that we practice these procedures for our BoT calls. Chairs need to make sure roles are covered. [9:59] MikeBennett: Ken always recordsasession if he is there but for this session the chair did not know that - does the procedure reflect this?Do future chairs need to confirmwith Ken that he will be there and be recording? [10:00] AmandaVizedom1: Noted: I did not make arrangements for audio recording of today's meeting, but KenBaclawski is recording it. [10:00] AmandaVizedom1: Last meeting recording is here: http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/ONTOLOG_BoardOfTrustees/BoT_meetings/2014-08-07_Ontolog-BoT_n.04/wip/ [10:00] PeterYim: [action] Ken will upload (to the webdav server) the raw recording of today's call, as well as earlier session which he had recorded (and hasn't shared at) [10:04] AmandaVizedom1: We should each be referring to the procedure page each time we Chair a session. [10:07] AmandaVizedom1: Any of us should update that page ourselves if procedures changes or we spot places where the info can be filled in. [10:09] PeterYim: as a matter of formality, the Ontolog-BoT confirms that the following community are welcome to use the OntologPSMW as part of their community collaborative workspace [10:10] PeterYim: that include: IAOA, SOCoP, OOR, CLv2 ... and all currently existing communities that host their work on the OntologWiki [10:12] LeoObrst: Motion by Mike Dean, seconded by Leo, passes unanimously. [10:12] AmandaVizedom1: == Discussion of Future Sessions == [10:14] PeterYim: Thu 2014_10_02 - Brainstorm session on theme-topics for OntologySummit2015 - Chair: MichaelGruninger [10:19] AmandaVizedom1: A small group needs to be identified to take charge of the OntologySummit2015 planning... [10:20] MikeBennett: Board for ontology Summit - generally head of each organization.Thi BoT has no Head so we would elect to send another person who is not one of the above,to represent Ontolog on that board [10:20] MikeBennett: (is that right?) [10:20] AmandaVizedom1: This group should include representatives of the 6 sponsoring organizations, plus original summit conveners. [10:20] MikeBennett: This BoT wold appoint another person to represent Ontology [10:24] AmandaVizedom1: Appointment to be taken off-line. Thread to be started on ontolog-trustee by MichaelGruninger. [10:27] AmandaVizedom1: Ontology-basedStandards S5 working on October date, MichaelGruninger Organizing. [10:28] PeterYim: re [10:20] MikeBennett, further - to be exact, Co-organizer Board for OntologySummit will be head of the 6 co-organizers (Ontolog, NIST, NCOR, NCBO, IAOA, NCO_NITRD), plus the original conveners (LeoObrst, PatCassidy*, PeterYim*, SteveRay*) ... [* = might possibly not participate] [10:29] AmandaVizedom1: Leo has gotten no response from RRLP participants. [10:32] LeoObrst: Leo will send new message to Benjamin Grosof, Pascal Hitzler, Krzysztof Janowicz about the RRLP mini-series. [10:34] KenBaclawski: There does not seem to be any close connection among artificial intelligent systems, intelligent systems and cognitive systems. [10:38] PeterYim: Thu 2014_11_06 - session on "What is Cognitive Computing?" - Co-chair: AmandaVizedom & _tbd_ [10:38] AmandaVizedom1: I will take up task of investigating possibilities and planning for a Cognitive Computing-focused session. [10:40] AmandaVizedom1: My preference is to target a November session, without specifying date *yet*. [10:41] PeterYim: re. [10:38] PeterYim: Thu 2014_11_06 <-- ignore the date for now ... Amanda just want to commit to "some time in November" for now [10:49] LeoObrst: KenBaclawski says that Northeastern is looking for provost, many professors in data science, phd students. [10:49] LeoObrst: Contact Ken privately for more info. [10:51] LeoObrst: How do we get more BoT members to participate? [10:53] PeterYim: I will start traveling next week, therefore, this is likely the last BoT meeting I will be attending on a "regular" basis. Thanks & Good Luck, everyone! [10:53] AmandaVizedom1: http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/w/index.php?title=ONTOLOG_BoardOfTrustees&oldid=14913#hid1G5H [10:54] MikeBennett: Thanks for everything Peter - and for ensuring such a smooth transition! [10:54] AmandaVizedom1: rather:http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/w/index.php?title=ONTOLOG_BoardOfTrustees&oldid=14913#hid1G8D [10:55] KenBaclawski: The College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University is seeking an associate dean of the undergraduate program, professors (at every level) with Data Science as the emphasis area, as well as PhD and MS students. [10:56] KenBaclawski: The provost search website is http://www.northeastern.edu/provost-search [10:57] PeterYim: re. active participation of BoT members ... note that Ontolog procedures "defaults" to OASIS process if nothing is specified ... and in OASIS, they have fairly stringent requirement for active participation (like losing "voting rights" if a person misses two meetings in a role) - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid20 ... in the absence of [ontolog] community established process, our process will default to the current OASIS TC Process - see: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php (ref. Sep-02 terms of reference) [11:02] MikeBennett: If we were to default to an OASIS like process we need to be broad in our measurement of "participation" i.e. not simply attendance at BoT meetings since there are several who we regard as actively participating. That works as long as they have communicated their time constraints, seems to be the consensus? [11:04] PeterYim: [action] Leo will try to ping BarrySmith, MarkMusen and PatHayes ref. active participation [11:05] PeterYim: great meeting! [11:05] PeterYim: great meeting!
