[7:04] ToddSchneider: The lack of ontologists is considered a 'risk' from a business perspective

[7:09] PeterYim: == ToddSchneider took the chair, and starts the call

[7:22] PeterYim: Todd: where do we stand, as the OOR initiative?

[7:26] PeterYim: the way I see it, is, OOR as a project, has grown from having a mandate (among others) to develop the OOR code to just coming up with the 3 priorities - metadata, API & UI and convincing everyone (all ontology repository developers and stewards) to adopt them ... we then focus on developing OOR content, because that is what will get us users and adoption.

[7:38] PeterYim: Todd, please try to mute your own phone if you are not talking

[7:39] ToddSchneider: Done.

[7:40] PeterYim: === re recent LeoObrst-IAOA drive - getting Formal Applied Ontology and the Semantic Web community closer ...

[7:43] PeterYim: I think leveraging ISWC, which is starting in less than 3 weeks, is a good place to start

[7:46] PeterYim: [action item] OOR will plan on delivering a OOR paper, even a workshop?, at ISWC 2014 (Trentino, IT)

[7:50] PeterYim: Michael: ISWC has 3 tracks (Research, Industry, IN-Use) ... and sessions emerge only after paper are accepted (which has a 1 in 6 rate)

[7:51] PeterYim: Todd: maybe the right wordings in the call-for-papers will help drive up the odds

[7:52] PeterYim: Michael: TaniaTudorache will be the Research Track chair ... and the right contact

[8:03] PeterYim: KenBaclawski / ToddSchneider / PeterYim: at an upcoming (next?) OOR meeting (when we have more people), let's decide who will champion the ISWC-2014 "paper" effort

[8:06] PeterYim: I need the session title and abstract for the next 2 sessions quickly (ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2013_10_01#nid3Y4Q ) ... Oct-8: "Meta-Ontology for Ontology Categories" - Co-chairs: TillMossakowski & MichaelGruninger ... Oct-15: "OOR Hackathon n.05 "Federation" - Co-chairs: TillMossakowski & KenBaclawski ... please furnish asap [attn: Michael & Ken - please work with Till on that and supply asap]

[8:07] PeterYim: -- session ended: 8:02am PDT --

[8:07] List of attendees: KenBaclawski, MichaelGruninger, PeterYim, ToddSchneider

[8:08] PeterYim: KenBaclawski: I will need to get in touch with MikeDean re "OOR federation" as well.
