All, (01)
We had an absolutely marvelous kick-off session for the OOR-IPR
mini-series today! We were honored to have Dr. George Strawn, Director
of the (US) NCO/NITRD (http://nitrd.gov) launch the panel series with
his encouraging and inspiring keynote talk entitled, "IP and IT." Our
expert panel, including Mr. James Bryce Clark, JD (General Counsel,
OASIS), Mr. John Wilbanks (VP of Science, Creative Commons) and Mr.
Bruce Perens (original author of the "Open Source Definition") then
briefed us on the state of the on relevant IPR regimes, and shared
with us their experience and insights on the subject. (02)
The complete proceedings of today's session - including agenda,
abstract, slides, audio recording and the transcript of the live chat
session - are all online now. They can be accessed from the session
page on the OntologWiki at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_09_09#nid2HBB (03)
Judging from the enthusiasm of all participants, from both the panel
and the "floor," I'd say we're off to a great start! (04)
A HUGE Thank You goes to George, Jamie, John, Bruce and all our fellow
co-organizers of this OOR-IPR mini-series and effort. And, of course,
we want to thank everyone who was there at the session today! (05)
As mentioned in my earlier post (thanks to Joel Bender who started the
conversation for us - ref.:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2010-09/msg00081.html) ... (06)
> IPR and how they are managed will be crucial. Over the course of this
> upcoming mini-series and subsequent actions and events, we will be
> addressing a very important set of issues, that really have to be
> cleared, before the world can realize the full potential of open
> ontology repositories or even that of ontology and semantic
> technologies. (07)
Over the course of the next 3 weeks, we are planning to delve
progressively deeper into the PR issues that relate to OOR and to
Ontology in general. We want to flesh out the issues using the
[ontolog-forum] mailing list, and punctuate that conversation with the
next two OOR-IPR virtual panel sessions (scheduled for Thu 2010.09.16
& Thu 2010.09.30). Hopefully, by Sep-30, we will be in a position to
come to some consensus on how we will be managing our IPR for the OOR
initiative. (08)
Thanks & regards. =ppy

To: "[ontolog-invitation]" <ontolog-invitation@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (025)
September 2010 will be an exciting month at Ontolog as we will be
rolling our three (3) mini-series sessions to specifically address IPR
(Intellectual Property Rights) issues relating to the "open ontology
repository (OOR)" initiative (which will, invariably, touch upon IPR
issues pertaining to ontology in general as well.) (026)
There will also be two OOR specific sessions, one relating to "Common
Logic (CL) support for OOR" and the other, entitled "OOR-Development -
Take-4." (027)
You are cordially invited to join us at these Ontolog events! (028)

***************************************************** (036)
The "OOR-IPR mini-series" will, hopefully, start a dialog among the
global ontology community, to specifically address IPR issues relating
to the "open ontology repository (OOR)" initiative. The discussion
will, invariably, touch upon IPR issues pertaining to ontology in
general as well. This mini-series is jointly organized by the
OOR-team, the Ontolog-community, NCBO (US National Center for
Biomedical Ontology), CC (Creative Commons), IAOA (the International
Association for Ontology and its Applications) and OASIS (Organization
for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). (037)
Given the complexity of the issues involved, one can look as this
mini-series to merely be the beginning of a quest, by the
collaborating parties and their communities, to fully understand the
issues, and to get themselves into a position to address them. As a
community, I trust we will, over the course of this mini-series and
subsequent actions and events, address a very important set of issues,
that really have to be cleared, before one can stand up effective open
ontology repositories, and the world can get the most out of the
potentials in science & technology of ontology and semantics. ...
Please also refer to details on the OOR-IPR mini-series at the
program's homepage
at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository_IPR (038)
These sessions will be delivered as augmented conference calls
(webinars). Like all Ontolog virtual events, they are open and free of
charge. Anyone who is interested, or (better still) who may have
something to contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on
the session page, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you
will find the session agenda, conference call dial-in, slides and
other pertinent information. Feel free to pass this invitation along
to colleagues who may also find these sessions to be of interest. (039)
*RSVP* by emailing Peter Yim at <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> offline with your
name, affiliation and session you are attending (or add yourself
directly to the session page if you are already an Ontolog or OOR
community member) so that we can prepare enough resources to support
everyone. [Please state clearly the date of the session you are
registering for in your rsvp message.] (040)
These sessions will be recorded and made available in a publicly
accessible archive. Therefore, before participating, please make sure
you are cognizant of our IPR policy (ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32). (041)
