Ken, it all looks pretty impressive. I hope we can engage in a
broader collaboration at the earliest opportunity. (02)
There are some changes needed in this paragraph, please [original
presented below]: (03)
John Graybeal, Luis Bermudez and their team at the Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute will be
cooperating with the OOR team to integrate The Marine Metadata
Interoperability (MMI) project with the
OOR. MMI has the key mission objective of developing a broad community
presence to address marine
metadata issues. This puts us in a unique position to understand
community needs, address those needs
in open and broadly applicable ways, and obtain community engagement
and buy-in for open solutions. (04)
Please consider this rewording (as Luis is not an MBARI person and I
think this doesn't put MMI or my role in the best possible way given
our circumstances): (05)
The Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI) project team will
collaborate with the OOR project to integrate MMI project work with
the OOR effort. Coordinated by Principal Investigator John Graybeal of
the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, MMI has as its key
mission objective developing a broad community presence to address
marine metadata issues. The MMI project is uniquely positioned to
understand community needs, address those needs in open and broadly
applicable ways, and obtain community engagement and buy-in for open
solutions. With Technical Lead Carlos Rueda and contributor Luis
Bermudez (Southeastern Universities Research Association), MMI's
pioneering work developing a community semantic architecture and
ontology repository will provide key insights and building blocks for
the OOR project. MMI's marine science solutions are equally valuable
and viable in most environmental communities, and a natural
progression of the effort; several environmental science communities
are represented at our semantic interoperability workshops. (06)
The last 2 sentences can be omitted if you have an issue with them,
but I think they support the lead-in of 3.3. You can drop "Technical
Lead Carlos Rueda and" if that is an issue for someone; I can't see
that it should be, given his role. (07)
On that topic, 3.3 presents 4 domains, but then the fourth paragraph
after that buries the 4th domain after a different one. Readers might
get confused if the Michelle Raymond sentence isn't the first one
mentioned. Not sure what the fit is for the first sentence (Kate) vis-
a-vis the list at the top; if it's meant to be part of Climate and
Environment, I'd make it a separate paragraph: "The Climate and
Evironment sector also includes the man-made environment, a diverse
sector..." (08)
Glad you found a good use for the text I recently sent, that was clever! (09)
Thank you very much for putting this together. I would like to talk
to you after the submission about the future solicitations MMI is
pursuing, and which ones may be suitable for broader, more explicit
collaboration in the area of ontology repository development. (010)
John (011)
P.S. I will copy the text above only to Luis, just for his
appreciation of how he is being mentioned. I trust that small sharing
is OK. (012)
