[7:04] List of attendees: BobSmith, KenBaclawski, MichaelGruninger, MikeDean, PeterYim, ToddSchneider, anonymous [7:08] anonymous morphed into DanielCoutoVale [7:08] DanielCoutoVale: I'm also online [7:11] PeterYim: === ideas for OntologySummit2014 topic (synergistic with OOR) [7:13] MichaelGruninger: I think that the topic "The Ontology Spectrum Revisited: from CL and OntoIOp to LinkedData and Schema.org" would align quite well with the OOR, illustrating the comprehensive scope of the existing ontology repositories [7:14] MichaelGruninger: Federation and Integration is also aligned with some of our objectives, particularly in the relationships between ontologies within a repository, as well as relationships among different repositories [7:20] MichaelGruninger: Possible topic -- How do I find the right ontology for me to use in my application? [7:26] ToddSchneider: Evaluation of ontologies has a bearing on OOR and we've discussed how to support it in the past. [7:28] PeterYim: maybe we can discuss here how OOR can be relevant to "Big Data" (or, maybe, specifically, dataset vocabularies) ... so the OntologySummit can push Ontology's potential contribution in the "Big Data" space [7:28] PeterYim: === positioning OOR in the OntologyBasedStandards initiative [7:28] MichaelGruninger: Upcoming sessions for the Ontology-based Standards series: 1. Ontology-based Standards in the area of Quantities and Units of Measure [PeterYim, FrankOlken?] 2. Ontology-based Standards in Geospatial Domains [TaraAthan, Gary Berg-Cross] 3. Ontology-based Standards in Manufacturing [BobYoung, MichaelGruninger, RichardMartin] 4. Ontology-based Financial Standards (e.g. ISO 15944, FIBO) [MikeBennett, BillMcCarthy, ElieAbiLahoud] 5. Standards and Ontology Metadata [ElisaKendall, TerryLongstreth] 6. Ontologies for Social Networks [KenBaclawski, EricChan] 7. How ontologies can help with the formal specification of the natural language standards [SimonSpero, RichardMartin, MarkJohnson, KenBaclawski] 8. Synthesis and harmonization of the ontologies and standards presented in the miniseries [???] [7:30] ToddSchneider: [ref. Ken's verbal comment that there are existing work that extracts ontologies from the written (natural language) standards] Ken, can you provide an example? [7:35] KenBaclawski: @Todd: OASIS ICOM [7:35] MichaelGruninger: Have a joint session on the OOR perspective on Ontology-based Standards / This will include a summary of the standards-related ontologies that we could upload to a repository. [This session can be stood up during one of the OOR Tuesday meeting slots, as the OntologyBasedStandards mini-series event schedule (slated for the Thursday Ontolog event slot) is already very full. [7:36] MichaelGruninger: We will also invite participants of the Ontolog series to contribute their standards-related ontologies to one of the repositories. This invitation will be made in the first session of the mini-series [7:38] KenBaclawski: My students will be developing projects that will be relevant to ontology-based standards and it would be great if they could participate in a session. [7:37] PeterYim: === collaboration and synergies with IAOA [7:40] TillMossakowski: Call for submission for the FOIS competition: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~till/fois [7:43] TillMossakowski: I have lost my Skype connection [7:44] PeterYim: Till / Michael / Peter: we could use this FOIS competition as a use case to drive the requirements and coordinate the OOR implementations so various instances of OOR can be ready to support this competition [7:48] TillMossakowski: ontology of categories that we will use for Ontohub: https://raw.github.com/ontohub/OOR_Ontohub_API/master/Domain_Fields_Extension.owl [7:51] MichaelGruninger: @Till: Will October 1 be a good date for a session on the ontology categories? [7:52] TillMossakowski: unfortunately not [7:52] MichaelGruninger: @Till: What about October 8 or 15? [7:53] TillMossakowski: have some problems here in Warsaw to find a place with WLAN *and* electric current [7:53] TillMossakowski: October 8 should work [7:59] TillMossakowski: I won't make it on Sept. 17th (on my way back from WoMo), but Daniel will present Ontohub [7:58] DanielCoutoVale: danielvale [at] uni-bremen.de [8:03] PeterYim: === Scheduling - [consensus] we will go by the following session plans ... [8:03] PeterYim: Tue 2013.09.10 - OOR Hackathon-IV - chair: Till & Ken [8:04] PeterYim: Tue 2013.09.17 - OOR Common UI - chair: Ken with opening brief from Daniel [8:04] PeterYim: No OOR event on Tue 2013.09.24 [8:06] PeterYim: Tue 2013.10.01 - regular OOR Team planning & admin meeting [8:07] PeterYim: Tue 2013.10.08 - "Meta-Ontology for Ontology Categories" - co-chair: Till & Michael [8:09] PeterYim: -- session ended: 8:02am PDT -- ------
