ToddSchneider: OOR high level requirements: Storing, Management, Governance of Ontologies & Related Items; Discovery/Searching Ontologies; Scalable (Parallelism, Federation); Multi-Language Support; Arbitrary Knowledge Domain; Platform Independent anonymous morphed into Line Pouchard Line Pouchard: Q about searches: it seems that Boolean searches are not supported for term searches. Are there plans to support this? ToddSchneider: Eric, I see your 'hand' is up. Do you have a question for Ray? Line Pouchard: What does it take to make it a big requirement? TrishWhetzel: Hi Line - would you like to submit this as a feature request? Line Pouchard: Sourceforge bug tracking, sounds good, thanks. Line Pouchard: Trish, yes I would like to. Eric S. Chan: Do you consider using an ontology for reification of notes, discussions, reviews, etc., that can be attached to the Biomedical Ontology? Peter Yim and I had suggested OASIS ICOM ontology (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/44405/icom-ics-v1.0-csprd02.zip) for reification of collaborative contents in OOR. ToddSchneider: Eric, can we ask your question when Ray is done with his presentation? PeterYim: Todd, I muted your line, as it was introducing some echo into the bridge ... please do a *7 before you speak, and then *6 (to mute again) afterwards TrishWhetzel: Ok, I'll submit this as a feature request and as Ray mentioned we'll get this into the development cycle. If you come across any other feature requests or bug reports, feel free to send these to our user support mailing list: support@bioontology.org Eric S. Chan: yes, I can ask the question during the Q/A ToddSchneider: Peter, Okay. PeterYim: @RayFergerson - my bad for not recognizing that the graphics get mangled up during the pptx to pdf conversion. Could you please provide us a pdf version that I will swap in later, please? PeterYim: @All: Ray is on slide#6 now PeterYim: moving on ... ToddSchneider: Ray, don't encourage the use of UML. ToddSchneider: MikeDean, Your first after Eric PeterYim: @ALL: for everyone's information Michael Gruninger who champions our OOR-Metadata workshop, is planning one on Dec-13 ... there is plan to invite HaroldSolbrig (Mayo) over to talk about their recent ontology metadata "crosswalk" study, which, among others, included OMV, CTS2. ... Please mark your calendars ... we'll look forward to having you at the session on Tue 2011.12.13 MikeBennett: On notes and annotations, are the bioportal notes ontology items aligned with or reusing concepts in SKOS that relate to notes? ToddSchneider: Mike's query raises an interesting capability, the ability to sufficiently distinguish the domains covered by a particular ontology repository (to support distributed queries). CarlosRueda: My question is just about a topic already in the agenda: "how to extend BioPortal" ToddSchneider: Carlos, did you want to ask Ray? TrishWhetzel: While not limited to ontology repositories, but geared more towards the content of triple stores, there is an effort to catalog the contents of triple stores via the dbcatalog group, http://groups.google.com/group/dbcatalog PeterYim: great session ... thank you, Ray, Todd, Ken and All!
