Feedback, Comments, Suggestions for the CCT-Representaion project work: /CctRep_Feedback (XZ)
- this is for collecting feedback from the team, the ontolog community, the e-business standards development community, and the public at large to the CCT-Ontology development team (i.e. for incoming feedback, from ontolog's perspective) to collaboratively improve on the quality and relevance of this work. (Y0)

Draft Feedback and Recommendations for other eBusiness Standards Working Groups: /CctRep_Recommendation (Y1)
- this is in preparation for the compilation of position paper(s) that the CCT-Ontology working team and the Ontolog community can present to the various e-business standards development bodies (i.e. for outgoinging feedback, from ontolog's perspective) that will include (but not limited to) learnings and recommendations as a result of this work. (Y2)

possibility of doing a call after 5:00pm on Fri 2004.07.02 (Y4)
- we can get TimMcGrath to join us, if we do that (Y5)
- do 2 calls? or, reschedule the 10am to 5pm? (Y6)

We welcomed Tim, joining us at a CCTONT worksession call for the first time (Y9)

reviewing the SIGMA-kee situation (YA)
- Adam will work with Peter offline - will work towards upgrading both SIGMA and Tomcat on the SIGMA2 server (YB)
- Adam also suggested that both Garret and Tim install SIGMA locally (YC)
  - Adam will try to make the binary ready ASAP (YD)

Tim and Adam had an extensive discussion on the KIF representation of "Amount. Type" as a means to align everyone's (those on the call) understanding of where our approach is taking us, and how it is similar or different from the existing approaches (at CCTS, UBL, etc.) (YE)
- reusing existing standards should become part of our approach to make the task manageable (YF)

Adam: the problem we are trying to solve is the need for having computable standards (defined in logic), when current standards are defined in human languages and requires human beings to interpret them (YG)
- it may not make standards development any easier, but the eventual payoff would be the time when we can use the logic to allow us to automatically check for internal consistencies within the standards (YH)

we would need to work on the "presentation" (YI)
- relating the Supplementary Components to the CCT's (YJ)

we will continue on the [cctont-imp] email list (YK)
- Peter will be in Washington DC all week next week (YL)
- we'll arrange our next conference call when the team deems it necessary (YM)
