[7:01] PeterYim: I'm getting (from the ITS2 conference bridge) "The moderator has not yet joined the conference, please standby" [7:02] MichaelGruninger: having trouble connecting [7:03] PeterYim: * Dial-in: (4E2E) ** Phone (US): +1 (425) 440-5100 ... PIN: 843758# ** Skype: join.conference ... PIN: 843758# (note "join.conference" and not "joinconference" - wiki page were wrong about this earlier) [7:06] PeterYim: == meeting starts ... [7:06] PeterYim: we will try to finish the meeting in an hour [7:06] List of members: LeoObrst, MichaelGruninger, MikeDean, PeterYim, TillMossakowski, ToddSchneider [7:08] PeterYim: === Brainstorm: Future of the OOR Project [7:09] ToddSchneider: Is IAOA interested in running an ontology repository? [7:11] MichaelGruninger: The (currently empty) page for the IAOA Ontology Registries and Repositories Technical Committee is http://www.iaoa.org/iaoaTC/TCrepositories/TCrepositories.php [7:13] PeterYim: Michael: Technical Committees and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in IAOA only differ in scope (where the latter has a broader scope) [7:15] PeterYim: Peter: if OOR gets absorbed into the IAOA Ontology Repository TC, would OOR team members need to be IAOA members [7:17] PeterYim: Leo: IAOA has an exception in the IAOA-SWAO-SIG in that SIG members does not necessarily have to be IAOA members for contribution (need to be a member for voting rights and IAOA membership benefits) [7:17] ToddSchneider: Would the IAOA Ontology Registries and Repositories Technical Committee absorb all of the past work of OOR? [7:19] MichaelGruninger: The IAOA TC was intended to be support a forum for people to find access to any of the ontology repositories that exist. Ideally, IAOA would like to coordinate the activities of ontology repositories [7:20] MikeDean: Umbrella and infrastructure are attractive, but OOR seems much more mature organizationally. OOR also has an established brand. [7:20] MikeDean: Leo: No charter yet for TC [7:22] ToddSchneider: But if IAOA's 'mission' is to promote the use of ontology, should it not provide a source of ontologies? [7:24] MikeDean: OOR focused on software environment as well as content. [7:26] MikeDean: Leo: OOR could become a project under TC [7:31] ToddSchneider: To Support "... the development of collaborations between research and industry" shouldn't IAOA be providing a test bed or an evolving reference implementation? [7:33] ToddSchneider: There are 'standards' and then there are defacto standards. I wouldn't think it outside the scope of IAOA to support the latter. [7:35] ToddSchneider: Can't IAOA afford commercial web hosting? [7:36] MikeDean: Leo: OOR could remain under new Ontolog [7:37] MichaelGruninger: @ToddSchneider[10:35] There are many hosting options possible, and we are still sorting out the new configuration [7:37] MikeDean: . as platform host [7:39] ToddSchneider: Who would take over all of the OOR artifacts? [7:44] ToddSchneider: What are the organizational options under IAOA? [7:47] MichaelGruninger: @ToddSchneider: What do you mean by "organizational options"? [7:48] MikeDean: Leo: potentially some OOR funding from IAOA [7:50] PeterYim: "IAOA-TC" and "OOR Initiative" relationship possibilities: "identity," "subsumption," "affiliation," "hosting," ... [7:51] PeterYim: http://oor.net/index1.html [7:54] TillMossakowski: Socop will be hosted by Ontohub, see https://ontohub.org/socop [7:54] MikeDean: Peter to redirect socop.oor.net to OntoHub SOCoP repository, which will now become primary [7:54] TillMossakowski: Peter will change the URL redirection [8:00] MikeDean: Peter willing to allow us to continue to use oor.net indefinitely [8:01] ToddSchneider: Peter, what about the OOR wiki page and all the meeting artifacts? [8:01] MikeDean: If email lists change, they should probably become XXX@oor.net, redirecting to whatever infrastructure is used. [8:03] PeterYim: see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/mailman/admin/ [8:09] PeterYim: [action-Peter-Till] will move the following lists: [oor-forum], [oor-dev] and [oor-users] from cim3.net to uni-magdeburg.de (along with the 18 IAOA lists) [8:10] PeterYim: [action-Peter] will update SOCoP-OOR link redirection [8:11] PeterYim: === 3.3 http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2014_07_15#nid4E4W [8:15] TillMossakowski: sorry, I have to go [8:18] PeterYim: [action-Nancy] will work with PeterFox (or LinePouchard & PeterFox) to try to get the ESIP-Portal as part the federated OOR repository nodes (instances) - as in http://oor.net/index1.html [8:20] PeterYim: NancyWiegand and DaliaVaranka are also in the meeting (have loggin in a while back already) [8:20] MichaelGruninger: ok i'm back ... [8:27] MichaelGruninger: I will potentially co-chair the July 29 session with Ken. The intended outcome of this meeting will be an explicit statement of the relationships between OOR and IAOA [8:27] PeterYim: next meeting: Tue 2014.07.22 (same time) - chair: TillMossakowski - topic: "Ontohub API" [8:28] PeterYim: -- session ended: 8:28am PDT -- [8:28] List of attendees: DaliaVaranka, LeoObrst, MichaelGruninger, MikeDean, NancyWiegand, PeterYim, TillMossakowski, ToddSchneider [8:29] PeterYim: ... plus NancyWiegand (who was only on the voice call (since ~7:30am PDT, and not in the chat-room) ------
