Folks, (01)
The seven days we set aside for discussion has come and gone, and 16
or so exchanges were made on the subject matter. It is about time to
bring this to closure. (02)
So far we still have only one (well formed) proposed candidate for our
definition of "Ontology Repository," and that is: (03)
Candidate-(A): "An ontology repository is a facility where
ontologies and related information artifacts can be stored, retrieved
and managed." (04)
I'll wait 3 calendar days for anyone to propose and second other
candidates. Past this time next Monday 2008.02.04, we will put things
to a vote. (05)
I concur with Lee that: (06)

I think the documented discussion during our Jan-23 meeting on what a
"registry" is (ref.
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2008_01_23#nid17UR
) is enough to allow us to move forward. (08)
Therefore, if you have alternative candidate definitions for "Ontology
Repository", please response to this message and make a motion for its
adoption by this team. Please try to find someone to second your
motion too. (09)
Thanks & regards. =ppy (010)
P.S. Once again, I hope we can just summarily adopt the above
definition (if there are no alternative proposals, and no objections)
and go forward. =ppy
