- Todd: UML diagrams generated by "Enterprise Architect" ... will be posting the full set ... (1Y1A)
- Misha: the diagrams are complete; slightly difficult to read now -- some parts not 'relevant' to BioPortal could be removed to make it more readable; with the new update, a lot of changes coming in anyway as an ontology is being used (1Y1B)
- Misha will help provide a list of the 'relevent' subset of classes (1Y28)
- Benjamin: MDA? (1Y1Z)
- ... Todd: probably stick with UML now, and eventually move to CL? (1Y20)
- Peter / Todd: will add revision level onto the diagrams in the future ... the ones from before, we'll add a date for identification purposes (1Y29)
- Introducing the software development folks' (1XY8)

- discussion: process / policy (1Y1D)
- Mike / Benjamin / Peter: will take the process / policy over email ... try to tie the initial process down before Jun-12 (1Y1E)
- possibly setting up a regular sync-up call schedule for the developers (1XY9)
- Peter: suggestion - when development work is in full steam, maybe we can do regular Friday calls, alternating between the OOR-team and OOR-dev-team (1Y2T)
- Bart: how does one get involved with contributing to code development work (1Y2U)
- Peter: get subscribed to the [oor-dev] list and stay tuned - real coding work isn't starting until after the next BioPortal release is out (1Y2V)
- Benjamin: in the mean time, read up on: http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/NCBO-OOR_Development (1Y2W)
- Mike / Benjamin: the subversion repository is read-only to the general public, therefore, feel free to look over the code (1Y2X)

- Nancy: supporting data store ... or just ontologies (1Y2J)
- Todd: OOR not supposed to provide data store ... but can consider a extension project to work on (1Y2K)

- Progress review on planned OOR-related events: (1XYB)
- Joint OOR-Ontolog Panel sessions ... on deck: (1XYC)
- Peter (2009.05.15): I'm working with the Stanford-BMIR folks to possibly run an session to update everyone on recent changes and improvements on Protege / webProtege / BioPortal / CODS / OOR-sandbox ... and how they work together, now and in the near future ... this is more a OOR user and content providers' session and could go right before Benjamin's OOR implementers and developers' session - date needs to be rescheduled to July-2009 (1XYD)
