Folks, (01)
Look like we don't have quorum ... therefore, the planned "debriefing"
conference call for today is now canceled ... and, as suggested in the
last message, we'll just follow-up on what transpired from Ontology
Summit 2008 through our regular e-mail forum. (02)
For those who are interested, here are links to the debriefings already done: (03)
(a) by the OOR-team -
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2008_05_09#nid1H7W (04)
& (05)
(b) by the Ontology Summit 2008 organizing committee -
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2008/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2008_05_12#nid1HKK (06)
In particular, ref. (b) above, Barry Smith has already put in a great
idea for the theme of OntologySummit2009. We can mull over this, and
possibly other ideas, between now and the end of the year. Around that
time, I shall look forward to a new initiative from NIST, NCOR,
Ontolog (possibly other organizers too) to bring next year's Summit to
life! (07)
For those who want to contribute to the implementation of the Open
Ontology Repository idea (which we talked so much about during the
course of the 4-months of OntologySummit2008), the OOR team (the
implementation initiative which proposed this year's summit theme), is
alive, looking for implementers (infrastructure and code development),
soliciting use cases and early adopters ... and they are meeting
tomorrow (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2008_05_23
). Come to the conference call tomorrow! (08)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
