You don't get an error when you join room 90091008, it just happens to be really empty anonymous1 morphed into RexBrooks anonymous1 morphed into Terry Patten Josh Lieberman: is there an issue with voip phones and the conference line? MikeBennett: There is an issue whereby Skype no longer supports the US number, apparently. I had to use the UK no at ten times the price!! PeterYim: @Josh ... no VoIP phones should work Josh Lieberman: My speakeasy line now works. Go figure. SteveRay: @Matthew: Your slide #2 begs the question of whether 15926 made the May 29th deadline? SteveRay: @Matthew: OK, I guess you answered the question, that it was completed. anonymous1 morphed into RaviSharma SteveRay: @Brand: Is your Open Linked Data different from the Linked Open Data work? RaviSharma: Brand RaviSharma: Do we similarly link to ontic foundations of DODAF 2.0 as we do to segment architecture? PeterYim: may I suggest that those who ask questions, to also enter the response into this chat-board in case the responder cannot type it in himself or herself (as in the case of Brand) RaviSharma: global architecture information network SteveRay: Open Linked Data = Linked Open Data. Same thing PeterYim: will the "anonymous" participant please morph into your WikiWord name so we can know who you are ... use "settings" button near top center RaviSharma: David, is this what used to be called BOD's? xml documents for each industry vertical? SteveRay: @David: In your cross industry focus, are you considering including the emerging Smart Electrical Grid? SteveRay: David is taking the Smart Grid as an action item to go back to the architecture council at OAGi. RaviSharma: Mike, is there a Controlled Vocabulary that ties thiese terms to financial industry meaning in terms of groups of data and types of data requird to execute transactions or reports? I am happy that we are able to address financial concepts such as derivatives? MikeBennett: Sorry it took so long - hard to explain where we are without revisiting the concepts. RexBrooks: Steve asked earlier if we have any other projects which use ontologies in IT Standards specification, and there is an effort in OASIS which is developing a Reference Information Model (RIM) for the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) family of specifications. RexBrooks: This EDXL-RIM specification provides more abstract guidelines for the concrete specifications in the family, such as Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM), Hospital AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE), the Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) and the newest member of the family, Situation Reporting (EDXL-SR) which is under development now. RexBrooks: There will be specifications for several of the components in the EDXL set of standards which are used throughout the family. The first of these component specifications is for the ValueListURN component, and it will have an RDF Schema as well as an XML Schema, and it will also have an OWL Ontology representation. MikeBennett: @Ravi: The primary brief was to provide a means to capture business vocabulary. Having opted to use ODM we have model as well as vocabulary, so agreed industry definitions are attached to meaningful concepts not data elements. We plan to work with ISO 20022 ( www.iso20022.org ) to link to message generation. JimRhyne: I just got dropped from the conference bridge and there is no answer when I try to redial the main number. Anyone else have this problem? SteveRay: Not me. Could you try again? JimRhyne: Back now. RaviSharma: Josh, the temporal, and geospatial has to be tied to some property of interest such as spectral signature, confidence level of feature classification, etc. do you see any progress in that diection? RaviSharma: Josh, how about similar discovery service - combining feature and phenomena related web WOS WRS etc.services using ontology? Josh Lieberman: In a way, the topic of feature discernment criteria is being approached sideways, by looking more explicitly at the process of observation - distinguishing sensor models, measurement of properties, derivation of phenomena, interpretation of features-of-interest, etc. Josh Lieberman: Must depart, unfortunately. Hope to continue discussions on the mailing list. PeterYim: @EdBarkmeyer and All: the Oct-30 workshop mentioned by Ed for the UoM_Ontology_Standard team is actually going to be at NSF (Arlington, VA, USA) ... (not Chantilly, VA where ISWC is going to be held, right before that workshop) RaviSharma: Ravi says thanks to Ed for complex integration and presentation with speed of light. PeterYim: @DavidConnelly: the Ontolog community has a long history of trying to influence UN/CEFACT into getting ebXML/CCTS into an ontology-based standard ... we hope you can help us move that agenda forward now that you are working closely with them MikeBennett: sorry, had to drop off - my Skype would not auto-recharge twice on one call. If there are any questions for me, please type them here. Ed Barkmeyer: Sidebar: scope of the units ontology *may* include measurement concepts and/or specification concepts, but that may make the ontology much more complex RexBrooks: I'd be happy to give an update, Steve. PeterYim: @Steve: when do we meet again (to get project updates)? Joel Bender: Thank you! PeterYim: thank you ALL ... great session! ... bye! DougHolmes: Well, I'm impressed. Excelent
