Abstract:    (2XZD)

Ontology-Related Metadata Standards    (2YNX)

This is the 2nd session of the Joint IAOA-OOR-Ontolog "Ontologies and Standards" mini-series, co-championed by Professor MichaelGruninger (University of Toronto) and Professor JohnBateman (Bremen University), who among their other roles, co-chair the Standardization Coordination Committee of IAOA.    (2XZE)

ISO 19763 Metamodel Framework for Interoperability (MFI) is a set of standards being developed under ISO/IEC JTC1/SC32 (Standards for Data Management and Interchange) as one of the WG2 (Metadata Standards) projects.    (2YNY)

Ms. Kendall's presentation will include background on what the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC32/WG2 working group does, the set of standards they have been responsible for and who and how these standards are being used. She will provide an overview of the parts in the ISO 19763 standard that are of particular interest to this audience.    (2YNZ)

The ISO/JTC1/SC32 working groups have just met this last week (October, 24 – 28, 2011) in Crete, Greece. Elisa will also ping folks who attended to get some latest updates, especially those involving the metadata standards in general. In addition, she will present current work at the Object Management Group (OMG) motivating the need for such standards, as well as provide an update on what's happening in ontology at OMG more generally.    (2YO0)

	PeterYim: John Bateman ... we don't hear you on voice ... are you having trouble?    (2YRK)
	JohnBateman: yes: Skype has just updated itself and I Can't activate the keypad to give the PIN!!!    (2YRL)
	JohnBateman: OK, now I'm in...    (2YRM)
	PeterYim: @John ... great - for John & All ref. "Skype dial pad" see - 
	http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpeakerSessionTips#nid2YQ1 ... the skype dial pad (on 
	their latest software) is now under the drop down menu "Call | Show Dial Pad"    (2YRN)
	RexBrooks: Sorry I got here late and will have to leave early. Hectic day. I will catch up 
	asynchronously later. ... I'll leave this page up while gone so I can catch any exchanges in the 
	chat, and will look for the recording later. Sounds very interesting!    (2YRO)
	DeniseWarzel: My comment was that the ontologies registered by the 19763-3 Ontology registration 
	plays important role in providing concepts to use in annotating the other 19763 models. Annotations 
	on the classes in the other parts of 19763 are intended to come from domain specific concepts in 
	ontologies registered by 19763-3....    (2YRP)
	DeniseWarzel: ISO 11179 Part 3 FDIS will be submitted next January, and it will be another 6 months 
	for adoption as IS (International Standard)    (2YRQ)
	ChristophLange: need to leave in a few minutes, sorry! thanks for your presentation. 
	(@MichaelGruninger: no specific questions so far. Need to think about this, and its relation to 
	OntoIOp.)    (2YRR)
	ToddSchneider: Elisa, thank you the information and updates. You've identified a large number of 
	interesting research problems that have very practical consequences (and need to solved yesterday). 
	Have to go. Cheers.    (2YRS)
	HaroldSolbrig: CTS2 has attempted to represent a reasonable subset of OMV    (2YRT)
	HaroldSolbrig: We ended up using more of an earlier version, however, that did support the notion of 
	ontology version.    (2YRU)
	HaroldSolbrig: CTS2 will be coupled w/ BioPortal which will make it accessible to OOR as well if 
	desired.    (2YRV)
	MichaelGruninger: @HaroldSolbrig: Can you please expand the acronym CTS2?    (2YRW)
	AliHashemi: @Michael, @Harold: CTS2 = Common Terminology Services 2 (http://hssp.wikispaces.com/cts2) ?    (2YRX)
	HaroldSolbrig: That is the intro - the current jump off point is 
	http://informatics.mayo.edu/cts2/framework/    (2YRY)
	HaroldSolbrig: http://informatics.mayo.edu/cts2 is an anchor point as well, has the specs and the 
	like, but we're currently in the process of updating the documentation    (2YRZ)
	HaroldSolbrig: @MichaelGruninger - "Common Terminology Services 2" - The "2" is because it is a 
	logical successor to the CTS standard, which emerged in HL7 and ISO TC215    (2YS0)
	MichaelGruninger: @HaroldSolbrig: thanks!    (2YS1)
	MichaelGruninger: @Elisa: You discussed models and modules? We all know how the term "model" is 
	overloaded, so I could you clarify how model modularity is related to ontology modularity?    (2YS2)
	JohnBateman: Really excellent presentation! Fantastic overview of very many absolute current, 
	critical issues of interest to many of us. Thanks for that! ... particularly concerning the current 
	burning issues of modularity and reasoning over the specs.    (2YS3)
	FabianNeuhaus: unfortunately i have to go. Elisa, thank you for your great presentation.    (2YS4)
	PeterYim: @Elisa - great presenation! ... can you give us some pointers to the state-of-the-art in 
	UML to OWL/CL and XML to OWL/CL translation tools?    (2YS5)
	LeoObrst: Thanks, Elisa! Good view of the landscape.    (2YS6)
	PeterYim: @Michael - [reference to the person at JPL Elisa mentioned] that would be:
