- this becomes a stock meeting type that we will schedule, with an announced "topic" weeks ahead so that people could start fleshing things out and get prepared before hand. (533)

6) Follow-ups from previous calls (537)
7) Current Project Status Report (538)
- Status of Protege-KIF project work (539)
- Pat: no progress (53A)
- Nicolas: it's great work, could you summarize the issues you ran into ... will discuss this in the email forum (53B)
- Pat: for your amusement, try googling the word: "ISAGELOUS" (53C)
- Pat: it's actually not an ordinary word ... it's an example of a created word that lexicographers (Pat himself, in this case) put into their dictionary to make sure they can tell when someone steals their work! But it is useful (it means "containing the same information") to refer to, e.g. an ontology that has been transformed by a program from one form (e.g. KIF) to another (e.g. Protege. If the conversion is done accurately, the Protege form and KIF form will be isagelous to each other. (53D)
- the thing to do now is KIF to "Protege-OWL plus SWRL" (53E)
- Status CCT-Representation and UBL-Ontology project work (53F)
- Requirements issues (ref: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseCases) (53G)
