The EC has confirmed that IAOA will cover financial deficits for FOIS 2012. The
IAOA and the local organizers will divide any revenue surplus on a 50/50 basis
while cost share is based on the already agreed revenue/cost sharing
arrangements. (09)
The EC has looked at the status of the Design Semantics SIG. The SIG's website
is now available here:
http://www.iaoa.org/iaoaSIG/SIGdesign/SIGdesign.php (010)
The EC is positive about inviting further input from IAOA members about the
role of a BioOntology SIG. The plan is to pursue a dedicated event at FOIS 2012
for planning the future and form such a SIG, if found useful. (011)
The education committee reported on the discussion on the IAOA Summer School
2012. One possibility is to have it in Trento before FOIS 2012.
People in Trento will look further into organizational issues. (012)
The wiki workspace for the IAOA textbook is now ready. It is still undecided
what kind of open license will be adopted. (013)
The infrastructure committee received lots of comments on the updated website.
Oliver Kutz is working on it.
An assistant (a student) will be hired to help with the website work in this
phase. (014)
The EC went through a proposal for the IAOA messaging strategy looking at
questions like: Who are the target audiences? Which messages are relevant? (015)
The EC was informed about the first event organized by the Ontology and
Conceptual Modeling SIG: the Onto-Com 2011 workshop held during the
International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2011) in Brussels.
The organizers were very happy with the outcome of the event and many
participants expressed strong interest to join the SIG. (016)
The following event has been recognized as IAOA supported events: (017)
The 9th International Conference on Terminology and Artificial Intelligence
