[09:48] YuLin: i mean in slide #3 [09:48] MikeBennett: cambridge semantics, not sure of the app [09:48] PeterYim: YuLin and Ashutosh ... would you drop me a short note to let me know who you are, please (I don't seem to have a record or contact information for you) [09:50] YuLin: OK.I send an invitation to you in linkedIn [09:50] SteveRay: Slide 3 is the Excel spreadsheet plug-in offered by Cambridge Semantics. [09:50] Ashutosh: I am with Trigent Software [09:50] Ashutosh: as invited by Chuck [09:51] SteveRay: Anzo Solutions Suite, from Cambridge Semantics, with "Anzo for Excel" which was slide 3. [09:52] AlStevens: Cambridge Semantics Anzo app is described at: http://www.cambridgesemantics.com/products/anzo_for_excel [09:54] ArturoSanchez: @MillsDavis: is there publicly available information about implementation details of any of these projects? [10:02] ArturoSanchez: ArturoSanchez@MillsDavis: do you know of success stories--associated with using ontology-driven approaches--in the healthcare industry? [10:02] SteveRay: @MillsDavis: Do any of your examples have quantified benefits, i.e. measured in $ or some other number? [10:04] MikeBennett: hopefully the detailed case studies should reflect that [10:06] PeterYim: Next up is Greg Bardwell ... slide [3-Bardwell] [10:07] PeterYim: I'm reordering the slides now ... it'll read [2-Bardwell] after you refresh you page [10:11] PeterYim: @YuLin - I'm not on LinkedIn, a brief email will do. Thanks. [10:16] YuLin: OK. [10:16] ToddSchneider: Could the speaker talk louder? [10:17] anonymous morphed into RamDSriram [10:20] PeterYim: GregBardwell, slide #8 - Case-1 ref. quotemysource.com [10:22] PeterYim: ChuckRehberg is presenting - goto slide [3A-Rehberg] [10:25] anonymous morphed into PavithraKenjige [10:26] NicolaGuarino: I have to rush now, great presentations! Pointers to any public info on project details appreciated. [10:27] MikeBennett: OK, thanks Nicola [10:31] PeterYim: @MikeBennett & @MillsDavis - since JeffZhuk has a time constraint, maybe we could consider having Jeff come on in between GregBardwell's two cases (assuming they are quite independent) [10:31] MikeBennett: yes please [10:33] PeterYim: @GregBardwell & @MillsDavis - ok with you both? please say so if there are other constraints that would trump this [10:33] MikeBennett: It's Chuck Rehberg who is speaking [10:34] PeterYim: sorry ... you ar eright .... the above message should be for @ChuckRehberg & @MillsDavis [10:36] PeterYim: @MikeBennett - Check probably wouldn't notice this ... maybe Mills is focusing on something else, please jumps in as Chuck finishes up on this "Natural Language" case [10:36] MikeBennett: ok [10:37] PeterYim: @JeffZhuk - please standby [10:38] YefimZhuk: ok [10:39] PeterYim: next up is Yefim (Jeff) Zhuk - goto slide [4-Zhuk] under http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2011_01_27#nid2M2V ... we'll come back to ChuckRehberg's second later after this (as Jeff has to rush to another meeting) [10:43] RamDSriram: @Chuck: Do you have any metrics comparing your rule engine to Rete-based systems. (See, e'g., Miranker's work at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~miranker/treator.htm) [10:44] anonymous morphed into Allen [10:45] PeterYim: @Everyone who is joining us for the first time and don't have a "namesake page" on our wiki, please populate that page so the rest of the community can get to know you. ... Kindly refer to instructions at this paragraph if you are new to this wiki flavor (http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidA) ... email me if you have any question. [10:46] YuLin: Allen is in our team, we work in biomedical track of applying ontologies [10:47] PeterYim: @Allen ... please morph into you full name (so everyone can get to know who you are), in WikiWord format, by clicking on the "Settings" button (above top center of chat window) [10:49] PeterYim: @YuLin - thanks ... which institution are you and Allen from? [10:50] SteveRay: @PeterYim: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?YuLin [10:50] YuLin: University of Michigan Medical School. I put something in the wiki page links to my name. [10:52] MikeBennett: slide 7 [10:52] YuLin: I should give more details relevant to ontologies. [10:53] SteveRay: @Peter: Is the VNC stuck? [10:54] PeterYim: next up is ChuckRehberg on his second case - goto slide [3B-Rehberg] [10:54] PeterYim: @Steve ... no, it's working [10:54] MikeBennett: @MillsDavis @PeterYim I can do my talk at a later date if this helps timing [10:55] SteveRay: @Peter: OK. It just threw me out and asked me to log in again. All is well. [10:56] PeterYim: @YuLin - thank you [10:56] YefimZhuk: Chuck, Peter, Mike, Thank you for moving me up and allowing to speak. I have to leave now. Talk to you later. [10:57] MikeBennett: Thanks Yefim. [10:57] PeterYim: Thank you very much, Jeff ... bye [10:57] YuLin: @Peter, you are welcome. [11:05] RamDSriram: @Chuck: How big is your search space? Do you have any examples of ontologies and rules used in the truck configuration system. Do have any metrics on the systems usage (e.g., how much is this used and how well is this helping the company to compete?). How do you evaluate the ontologies? [11:05] Bobbin Teegarden: Yes, please do have Mike's presentation now. [11:06] RamDSriram: @Chuck: Please replace "Do have any" to "Do you have any" in my previous remarks. Thanks [11:07] Allen morphed into Allen Xiang [11:07] PeterYim: Thank you, Allen [11:08] Allen Xiang: You are welcome. [11:13] YuLin: what's the name of this UML tool? [11:14] PeterYim: @MikeBennett - question above from YuLin was in reference to your slide#5 [11:25] Chuck Rehberg: @Ram: My answers in [] - How big is your search space? [In terms of possible configurations?] Do you have any examples of ontologies and rules used in the truck configuration system. [Unfortunately cant share this] Do you have any metrics on the systems usage (e.g., how much is this used and how well is this helping the company to compete?). [100% of all vehicles are configured using this system] How do you evaluate the ontologies? [based on value (amount of use) in product delivery] [11:26] Brian Haugh: Slide 5 title identifies the UML modeling tool as "Enterprise Architect" [11:26] YuLin: Thanks. [11:27] Brian Haugh: What is "MBS" on slides 11 and 12? [11:27] MikeBennett: my phone fell off [11:27] Mills: lost sound [11:27] MikeBennett: mortgage bacxked securiyty [11:27] SteveRay: Let's see if he will dial back in. [11:27] MikeBennett: will dial back in [11:27] Bobbin Teegarden: sound is gone [11:28] ArturoSanchez: I can hear you ... [11:28] MikeBennett: i'm back [11:29] YuLin: I want to ask MikeBennett, [11:29] YuLin: Is your data model in OWL? [11:29] Chuck Rehberg: Need to drop off - sorry for leaving early - thanks to all -Chuck [11:29] Mills: MBS = mortgage backed securities [11:31] MikeBennett: @YuLin enterprise architect from sparx [11:32] YuLin: Thanks a lot. [11:32] MikeBennett: @YuLin not in native OWL/RDF yet but folks working on that [11:32] YuLin: I see. [11:33] ToddSchneider: Mike, Is EA working on supporting OWL? [11:33] JimRhyne: Mike's ontology is developed using Enterprise Architect. Sandpiper Software has been working with Mike to export his ontology as OWL RDF/XML [11:33] JimRhyne: You can contact me for details. [11:33] PeterYim: Fantastic session ... bye everyone ... see you next Thursday! [11:33] PeterYim: -- session ended; 11:33am PST -- [11:34] MikeBennett: And when the Sandpiper export is done this will become the canonical OWL version of our ontology. However some features like Archetypes are beyond OWL and will require additional annotation. //
