Todd / Ken: ref. MikeDean's question: "are javadoc's available?" ... answer: seemingly "no!"

PeterYim: [consensus] our approach toward code contribution (/extension from the BioPortal codebase): (a) KenBaclawski-ToddSchnieder to focus on "gatekeeping"; (b) MikeDean on "federation", and (c) MichaelGruninger on "metadata" then "mapping"

ToddSchneider: Action Plan: Michael and his team will focus on metadata (and then mapping); Mike Dean will focus on federation capabilities; Ken and Todd will focus on workflow

MikeDean: like idea of an OOR service layer that includes OOR-specific services (e.g.  Find) and can be easily adapted to new BioPortal releases

PeterYim: as far as ncbo - RayFergerson is concerned, he'd appreciate all code extensions to be implemented on "tabs"

MikeDean: it's easy to add new tabs to the UI

MikeDean: http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui

ToddSchneider: The three 'action items' will have there own tabs: adjuncts to the current BioPortal UI

ToddSchneider: Need to find out if BioPortal data model supports 'location' (i.e., repository location/id) information

ToddSchneider: How will access control across federates be handled?

ToddSchneider: There may be additional fields from OMV that OOR will need.

ToddSchneider: Can the OMV interface be generated dynamically from the OMV ontology? This may break some existing BioPortal code.

ToddSchneider: Each of items of the 'action plan' will be added as a new tab (on the current UI).

ToddSchneider: The federation tab will be labeled 'Federation' (this may only be visible to administrators); The workflow tab will initially expose the uploading capability of the gatekeeper functionality. Other gatekeeper capabilities/functionalities will be exposed on other tabs.

ToddSchneider: Another action item is to agree on tab labels for the 'upload' and 'metadata' tabs.

PeterYim: [action] targeting this - Mike, Ken & Michael will all try to have a prototype tab (even just a "hello world" tab) done by our next workshop

KenBaclawski: Subject: [oor-dev] Problem with extending the UI 
  I am trying to extend the BioPortal Rails UI on oor-03 using
  http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui
  It seems one must use
  cd /srv/ncbo/rails/BioPortal/current
  rather than
  cd /var/rails/BioPortal/current
  There is a script/generate, but when I try running it, I get
  /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
  Does anyone have some idea of how this can be fixed?
  -- Ken

PeterYim: Ken has fired the above question to Paul Alexander - http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2012-01/msg00016.html

PeterYim: MikeDean gave a brief report on the SOCoP-OOR at the INTEROP NSF PI meeting

ToddSchneider: Can we pose a question to BioPortal to see if they would be open to moving the 'Submit New Ontology' functionality to a new tab, called 'Submit'?

ToddSchneider: Have to go.

KenBaclawski: I will continue to find out how to fix the captcha feature. Until it is fixed, captcha is off.

PeterYim: who is anonymous?

PeterYim: let's talk about the next workshops at next Tuesday's regular OOR team meeting

PeterYim: MikeDean: I'll probably be missing next week's meeting, because i'll be traveling

PeterYim: good meeting ... got a lot done ... bye!
