[09:26] PeterYim: Hi Terry ... [09:26] TerryLongstreth: Hi, Peter. Are you on the voicecom? [09:26] PeterYim: just getting on ... [09:32] anonymous morphed into Michael Uschold [09:34] anonymous morphed into AliHashemi [09:35] anonymous morphed into My Coyne [09:42] Pat Barkman: hello [09:48] MikeBennett: Restaurant is easy to find, if you can walk out of the gate, you can see the restaurant. [09:49] MikeBennett: However if anyone wants a lift let me know (x3) [09:58] AldenDima: Dogfish Head Alehouse - 800 West Diamond Avenue, Gaithersburg, MD (301) 963-4847 [09:59] Ramdsriram: I can take 5-6 people in my Van. [10:10] Tim Wilson: I could use a ride to the restaurant. Thanks [10:14] Pat Barkman: thank you for adding the basics ... [10:15] Pat Barkman: for us newbees [10:25] Pat Barkman: I agree with the intro blurbs ... and would be interested in a broad distribution of that info [10:26] Tim Wilson: Did I hear that we should post our intro on our name page on the wiki? [10:27] Ramdsriram: It seems that the NIST gates close at 7pm. So we have some buffer. [10:27] Michael Uschold: Have wiki page so people can give a short introduction of who they are and why they came and affilliation. [10:27] AmandaVizedom: +1 for using the wiki -- specifically, using the ontolog wiki UserName Bio mechanism already there. We probably to encourage lazy people like me to update their existing bios, though, keeping in mind an audience of new Summit participants. [10:27] Michael Uschold: Carpool wiki page? [10:28] PeterYim: updated onsite registrants are available at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011/WorkshopRegistration#nid2PSN [10:28] AmandaVizedom: If we us the username bios, the list of registrants on the wiki will link to those automatically once new registrants get wiki user names. [10:28] PeterYim: remote participants too: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011/WorkshopRegistration#nid2PRO [10:29] Tim Wilson: If anyone is staying at the Hampton Inn, I would be interested in a ride to NIST on Tuesday morning so my wife can have the car. [10:29] Tim Wilson: twilson92[at]rochester.rr.com [10:32] Tim Wilson: See you Monday! I have to return to work now. [10:32] PeterYim: bye Tim ... see you then! [10:38] RexBrooks: As a track co-champion, I don't want to have the responsibility for editing the document. [10:38] RexBrooks: I think we should send our appendices to Michael. [10:39] MikeBennett: I'm here [10:42] PeterYim: @MikeUschold - all wip is under: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2011#nid2KA3 [10:44] AmandaVizedom: I'm not sure I'm clear on the task, but if you just need a point person to collect/collate/track something or do other org assistance, I can volunteer. [10:45] AmandaVizedom: That is, if you think it would be valuable to have someone outside the org committee, and without other track or communique burdens, do it. [10:48] MikeBennett: One simple housekeeping question: I want to add links within the synthesis page to the individual case studies. What is the style for rendering links or is there a page with that? (sorry if dumb question) [10:48] RexBrooks: With regard to the track pages, if we keep it to sunthesis only, how will people be able to see the community input pages? [10:49] AmandaVizedom: (Really, that's a general offer to help with last-minute delegatable tasks, if needed) [10:50] RexBrooks: Also, shouldn't we be able to have readers access the proceedings for the presentation sessions pages for the tracks? [10:51] RexBrooks: @MikeBennet: are you going to be able to put the Apple Siri et al case studies into your format on the synthesis pages? If not, I can't put them into the comparison tables. [10:51] RexBrooks: I think we're really out of time for that and I want to wrap all this table formatting stuff now. [10:53] RexBrooks: Peter could you put the link to the table in the chat. [10:54] NicolaGuarino: I am not sure I understand it correctly. Will there be a synthesis plus a communique? Indeed, the communique should NOT look like a synthesis... [10:55] MikeBennett: @Rex I can't read your question in detail as Skype interferes with the style on this page once a phone number is here. Please ping me an email after this session and I'll get straight onto it. [10:56] PeterYim: @Rex and All - link to the up-to-date UseCaseMatrix: http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OntologySummit2011/ValueMetrics/OntologySummit2011-CaseStudy--UseCaseMatrix.pdf [10:59] PeterYim: @All Track Champs - please use your curated stuff to your track's Synthesis pages (before mid-day Saturday 4/16) [11:05] NicolaGuarino: nicolguar[at]gmail.com [11:08] Brian Haugh: Considering the Fabian Rule, allow me to second the last comments from Nicola that the Communique would benefit from a perspective focused on "Making the Case for Ontology" rather than describing the process of developing the Communique. [11:09] NicolaGuarino: now I have edit access on the document... [11:12] NicolaGuarino: Here is the final version of last year's communique: http://iospress.metapress.com/content/p063121l16757521/fulltext.pdf [11:13] NicolaGuarino: (I am not sure you have the access rights, unless you connect to ios press through the IAOA members-only page) [11:13] NicolaGuarino: I'll ask ios press to make this file public [11:15] Brian Haugh: For example, instead of saying "The activities were divided into five tracks", say that "Making the case for ontologies can be divided into five areas." [11:15] PeterYim: @MichaelUschold - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit [11:15] Pat Barkman: this has been very informative leading into the Summit ... thanks all.
