Further to the discussion at our May-9 call and subsequent announcement, breakout subgroups will report back on their discussions/recommendations in the following four major areas: (1JD1)

Short-term Planning - MikeDean with LeoObrst & PeterYim (1JD2)
- Mike: no update for now (1JGO)
- for those who want to contribute code, please start by creating an account on SemWebCentral, that way, Mike can add them to the project. (1JGP)
- K: suggest linking the OOR project repository at SemWebCentral as a "semantic web tool" (1JGR)

Resource & Funding - KenBaclawski (1JDK)
- Ken: submitted an NIH proposal earlier, and got a pretty good score - '154 (out of 500) with 1~150 being 'must fund.' (1JGS)
- Mike / Peter: reminding everyone of Mike's earlier suggestion (in his summit roadmap presentation) that we all try to submit proposals making reference to 'OOR' to build up a momentum (1JGT)
  - Mike: when we have more of these, we can have a webpage listing them (1JGU)
- More (possible) funding sources: (1JGX)
  - Frank: DoDAF would be a possible funding source (1JGV)
  - Michelle: DoJ and DHS, NIEM in particular, too (1JGW)
  - K: check out HSIN (Homeland Security Information Network) (1JGY)
- Ken: OOR being infrastructure ... proposals for government grants would probably need to be made in relation to projects that meet specific grant criteria (and not proposed as 'OOR' per se) (1JGZ)
  - Frank cited an interesting example from an earlier Protege conference (2005), and would find the presentation to share with everyone - Frank will post to [oor-forum] (1JH0)
  - Ken / Michelle / etc. - just "interoperability" is already 'saleable' ... outside of the academic research arena (1JH1)
- Ken will share the language he used as a reference to the rest of the team (1JH2)
- Ken: consider levels of participation - stratification and what that entails - will talk about this at the next call (1JH3)

Use Cases & Requirements - K_Goodier with RaviSharma, PeterYim, ToddSchneider & FrankAlvidrez (1JDL)
- K: OpenOntologyRepository_UseCases page updated (1JH4)
- K: encourage members of the subgroup to get their accounts at SemWebCentral (1JH5)
- K / Peter: code related stuff to go to the SemWebCentral project repository, other write-ups to stay on this wiki (1JH6)
  - Peter: there is a possibility we can move our OOR-wiki content to a "Purple Semantic MediaWiki" site fairly soon (as Ontolog migrates there!) (1JH7)

Organization & Process - PeterYim with LeoObrst & MikeDean (1JDM)
- locking in Jun-27 to do our "Prototype Review: Synergies and Gaps" - Fri 2008.06.27 - 2.0~2.5 Hr starting 9:00am PDT / 12:00 noon EDT / 16:00 UTC (1JH8)
  - Peter will announce this over the weekend (1JH9)
  - We'll use Mike's OOR-protype as a spring board to solicit input from key code contributors on "Synergies and Gaps" (1JE2)
  - parties we (Peter / Leo / Mike) have in mind, currently, include: (1JE3)
    - DAML (1JE4)
    - BioPortal (include OMV as they are already in collaboration) (1JE5)
    - NeOn / OMV (1JE6)
    - CODS (1JE7)
    - XMDR (1JE8)
    - OMG (1JE9)
    - CL (working group) (1JEA)
    - BBN (1JEB)
    - CIM3 (1JEC)
    - anyone else we have left out? ... please suggest (1JEE)
      - looks like we might miss the OMG people on 6/27 (as they are meeting in Ottawa around that date.) (1JLX)
- Peter: remind everyone to use [oor-forum] list, even if its a subgroup conversation (1JLY)
  - that way, we can (a) keep everyone on the same page, and (b) have the content archived. (1JLZ)
  - consider prefixing the subject line in case of a subgroup conversation, so people not really interested can just scan or skip over those messages (1JM0)
