[09:34] anonymous1 morphed into DougFoxvog [09:34] anonymous morphed into Sayani Hasan [09:36] Sayani Hasan morphed into Hasan Sayani [09:39] Ram D. Sriram: @Michael: Dr. Charles Romine, Director of the Information Technology Laboratory, will be making the welcoming remarks. [09:41] ToddSchneider: Does any one have the text of the 'Fabian Rule [09:44] LinePouchard: @Ram: is this Chuck Romine who used to be at ORNL a decade ago? [09:45] PeterYim: +1 on extending the Track 1&2 report time [09:46] Ram D. Sriram: @linePouchard: Yes. Same person. He is the director of ITL now. [09:48] LeoObrst: Just joining late. [09:49] AmandaVizedom: I could volunteer to bring a K-cup coffee maker. ;-) [09:50] ToddSchneider: Peter, the slides from Ali and I will be delayed. [09:51] DougFoxvog: @Amanda: What is the value of K? 8)# [09:53] DougFoxvog: ! This system rotated part of my smiley! I'll try again. 8 )# [09:55] PeterYim: @Todd, @Ali - I would assume you guys will have multiple slide deck over the two days ... the last of which (though optional) would be the final presentation on the communique (i.e. the communique on slides - which MichaelUschold did well on, last year, but again this is not mandatory) [09:56] AmandaVizedom: Whoops - Sorry Michael, will send. [09:56] TerryLongstreth: @MichaelG: If you're going to have each member of the panel respond to each question, you should probably reduce the number of questions. [09:56] PeterYim: ... for that last set of slides, you'd probably not be in a position to prepare them until after the day-1 sessions are through [09:56] ToddSchneider: Peter, I would think the communique would speak for itself. But I'll look at what Mike Uschold provided. [09:56] LeoObrst: where are the slides? [09:57] PeterYim: @Leo - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2012_04_05#nid397V [09:57] DeborahMacPherson: Must be a different Deborah? Is it the posters [09:57] MichaelGruninger: @Terry: ok, we will prioritize the questions [09:57] NicolaGuarino: Michael, where are the questions you mentioned (to be used for the panelists)? [09:57] DeborahMacPherson: It must be for the posters - see http://scimaps.org would like to bring some data visualizations of big systems for display [09:58] DeborahMacPherson: Thanks! [09:58] ToddSchneider: Nicola, Ali sent them last week. [09:58] NicolaGuarino: OK, i was searching for a message from Michael... [09:59] ToddSchneider: Nicola, will you be at the symposium (in person)? [09:59] PeterYim: see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2012/WorkshopRegistration [10:00] PeterYim: list of people who have registered so far are on that page too [10:01] LeoObrst: Thanks, for some reason Adobe opened the slides at slide 5. [10:03] NicolaGuarino: @Todd: yes [10:09] PeterYim: @Leo - that is the case for today's slides :( ... we're on slide#8 now (although it is marked "4") [10:10] MichaelGruninger: Proposed Panel Questions: 1. Why are ontologies important to the success of your work? 2. Can you share any specific success metrics from the application of ontologies? 3. How does your work fit into the Big Data picture (if at all)? 4. What are some of the exciting initiatives that you've seen - who should we watch and why? 5. What is the killer app using your work that you're hoping to see emerge over the next few years? 6. Why are ontologies essential for modeling systems? 7. Why are ontologies essential for integration / federation of systems? 8. How do ontologies help address Interdisciplinary Collaboration? 9. Has anyone quantified and is willing to share any of the costs associated with the lack of ontologies in {modeling, integration, federation, collaboration}? [10:11] MichaelGruninger: The first five or six questions will probably be the best; the remaining questions can be used if we have time [10:11] NicolaGuarino: @Peter: I will be dumb, but still I am not able to see the pointer to these slides in the conference call web page. [10:11] AliHashemi: ""Nicola: http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OntologySummit2012/OntologySummit2012_Communique/2012-04-05_draft-review/OntologySummit2012_pre-symposium-session_20120405.pdf [10:13] PeterYim: (just repeating what I said verbally earlier) All slides and materials (demo-video-clips, etc.) for the workshop & symposium (i.e. things that need to be shared with on-site and remote participants) needs to be emailed to the symposium chairs and to me by end-of-day Monday Apr-9 (or at least a note to say you needed more time), please [10:13] PeterYim: slides should be in pdf format and with all slides numbered ... PLEASE! [10:14] NicolaGuarino: @Ali: Sorry I missed whether it is fine to edit the communique directly, in addition to posting comments [10:15] AliHashemi: The google doc does not currently allow others to edit. [10:17] NicolaGuarino: I noticed it. However it would be much easier to do (limited) changes than post comments. Anyway, it's your choice. [10:17] AliHashemi: The way it's currently set up, I am sharing a public link and anyone with a link can view. I can add specific users [10:19] AliHashemi: with edit capability* [10:31] DeborahMacPherson: By - see you next week [10:31] PeterYim: very productive session ... thanks!
