Abstract:    (2SL7)

As a result of the two OOR Architecture and API panel sessions, we have seen a large number of architectures and APIs for ontology repositories. We have had requirements for the OOR, at least in broad outline form, since the Ontology Summit 2008. We have been running an OOR sandbox based on BioPortal. Most recently, we have forked from the BioPortal code base with the intention of proceeding separately with the development of a reference implementation.    (2SNN)

The various architectures and APIs for ontology repositories are available at OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture    (2SNO)

At this meeting we begin the process of producing the actual OOR specification. It will be run as a workshop where the straw man proposal will be discussed and modified as needed.    (2SNP)

Here is the straw man architecture: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03    (2SNQ)

In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from BioPortal, which is not entirely compatible with the straw man architecture, but furnishes a starting point. This API will also be discussed and modified as needed.    (2SNR)

Here is the API expressed in WSDL: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORService.wsdl    (2SNS)

Here is the API expressed in Java: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORI.java    (2SNT)

Finally, we need to agree on a plan for completing the development of the specification.    (2SNU)

Here is the proposed organizing plan: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/GettingOrganized    (2SNV)

We encourage all to up date your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood.    (2SNW)

3.0) Adopting (formally) the work from the last workshop, modulo any discussion/modifications entered on the wiki page.    (2SNM)

3.1) Resolve / Finalize the first method proposed    (2SSI)

3.2) Starting with the Registrar, as identified in your use cases, specify the functions to support that role starting with the use cases. Thereafter, move on to Accreditor, Steward, Process Manager, and Submitter. ... For each of the roles we also have to keep in mind any coupling to representation languages (relative to the actions taken).    (2SSJ)
