All, (01)
Since we have not received alternate candidates, there is only one
candidate definition put forth, by the attendees of the 23-Jan-2008
OOR Founding Members meeting, for "Ontology Repository," which reads: (02)
"An ontology repository is a facility where ontologies and related
information artifacts can be stored, retrieved and managed." (03)
We will open this up for voting (please do so by responding to this
thread) in the next 48 hours (two working-days.) (04)
Let us try to get general consent and summarily adopt this if we can:
... If we do not receive two (2) or more objections to adopting the
above, we will summarily adopt this definition for the
OpenOntologyRepository (OOR) initiative. If there are two (2) or more
people objecting to the adoption, we will put it to a vote, and
require a two-third majority (given it's importance) to adopt this
definition. (05)
(While declaring positive support is always welcomed, if you are not
raising an "objection" you do not necessarily have to cast your vote
of support at this point.) (06)
Thanks & regards. =ppy (07)
P.S. since we are doing this for the first time here, any
comments/suggestions on the process is also welcomed. I am just going
by what we usually do at ONTOLOG. =ppy
