OpenOntologyRepository: OOR Metadata Workshop-I - Fri 2011_03_18 (2MRJ) Topic: OOR Metadata Workshop-I (2Q8X) Session Chair: MichaelGruninger (2Q8Y) Please see details on session page at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_18 . PeterYim: MichaelGruninger briefs group with his presentation "The Future of Ontology Metadata?" ... essentially to start the discussion today LeoObrst: ref. the discussion about "configuration" from the Architecture-API workshops in the last couple of weeks PeterYim: see references under: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_18#nid2Q8Q MichaelGruninger: Earlier OOR meetings have introduced the notion of configuration. How is this related to the specification of relationships between modules. ToddSchneider: Leo, are you talking about historical usage information? ToddSchneider: Maybe whatever OOR uses for metadata needs to be modular itself. MichaelGruninger: What is the distinction between semantic versioning and ontology versioning that is closer to software versioning (a la SVN and CVS) PeterYim: assuming metadata (requirement, implementing into gatekeeping, etc.) is a key piece of the puzzle ... How do we move from "sandbox" to "production" OOR ... maybe we can use that as our use case scenario that might drive this discussion MichaelGruninger: We should make a distinction between two different scenarios -- 1) we have a use case that requires metadata that in some way conflicts with OMV; 2) we have a use case that requires new kinds of metadata. If all of our use cases are in the same category, then we can adopt OMV but develop / propose our own extensions. KenBaclawski: See http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/ontologies/ for the use cases that have been collected so far. ToddSchneider: We will review OOR use cases that will require additional elements for OMV or elements of OMV that are inconsistent with OMV. MikeDean: There's a good depiction of OMV at http://omv2.sourceforge.net/description.html I assume it's current. PeterYim: Thanks, Mike - I've added that to the OMV page on our wiki as well - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OMV MikeDean: Michael has been using the v2.4.1 report, which includes the v2.4 figure link above. Reviewer is part of the Evaluation extension. Frank Olken: Michael, What software tools are you using for the development of the COLORE ontologies? MichaelGruninger: @Frank: We are mainly building our own tools, but Cameron Ross at Kojeware has also been developing Common Logic parsers, validators, editors, etc Tim Darr: @Michael: are those tools available? KBSI might be interested in using them. MichaelGruninger: @Tim: Contact Cameron (cross[at]kojeware.com) Tim Darr: @Michael: Thanks! Frank Olken: Does OMV have any notion of authoritative source documents (e.g., legal code, federal regulation, etc.) for an ontology? Frank Olken: Some of the issues (e.g., administrative metadata) are addressed by ISO/IEC 11179 (Edition 3 of Part 3 is currently being progressed to a new ISO standard.) Frank Olken: ISO/IEC 11179 is described in UML - could be converted OWL (Kevin Keck may have done this.) Frank Olken: ISO/IEC 11179 is a generic metadata registry standard. KenBaclawski: @Frank: The gatekeeper prototype is based on ISO/IEC 11179, but it is not yet integrated with the OOR sandbox. PeterYim: ref. the "gatekeeping" & "workflow" in the Architecture discussion - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_11#nid2PQH - specifically: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/workflow.pdf PeterYim: the issue of the OOR providing a persistent URI for a ontology, or the finer granular parts of it, when the ontology moves from different repository instances (as in federated OORs) and from version to version - that needs to be discussed in the context of metadata, as well as independently MichaelGruninger: Action Item 1: Evaluate the adequacy of OMV with respect to the OOR use cases at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/ontologies/ MichaelGruninger: Action Item 2: Focus on issues related to "production" OOR, particularly the gatekeeper functionality. PeterYim: @Michael and All - please review the summary take-away of this meeting (as Michael described it just now) http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_18#nid2QDE PeterYim: next Friday (Mar-25) is a Architecture-API workshop again PeterYim: after that, we should have a regular OOR team meeting (Apr-1) PeterYim: we can consider what to do for Apr-8 then (at the Apr-1 meeting) ... noting that Ken will be away for 2 weeks (until Apr-11) after he runs the Mar-25 Architecture-API workshop PeterYim: great meeting, bye!
