Abstract: (2VQ1)
As a result of the two OOR Architecture and API panel sessions back in Oct & Nov-2010, we have been exposed to a large number of architecture and API candidates 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. (2VQ2)
At this series of meetings, we are going through 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. (2VQ3)
The various architectures and APIs for ontology repositories presented for consideration are available at OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture (2VQ4)
Here is the straw man architecture: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03 (2VQ5)
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. (2VQ6)
Here is the API expressed in WSDL: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORService.wsdl (2VQ7)
Here is the API expressed in Java: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORI.java (2VQ8)
Finally, we need to agree on a plan for completing the development of the specification. (2VQ9)
Here is the proposed organizing plan: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/GettingOrganized (2VQA)
We encourage all participants to update your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood. (2VQB)

Agenda & Proceedings (2VQM)

PeterYim: Hi Ken ... (2W0R)
KenBaclawski: Good morning Peter (2W0S)
PeterYim: good morning (2W0T)
PeterYim: it's the summer, and a lot of people are still away ... therefore, like the 2011_07_08 session, I suggest we postpone if we do not have 5 or more participants ( ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_08#nid2VNQ ) (2W0U)
anonymous morphed into ToddSchneider (2W0V)
ToddSchneider: I concur with Peter's suggestion (and I'm very tired) (2W0W)
KenBaclawski: The new UI code has been checked in. The sandbox and source code are now consistent. (2W0X)
KenBaclawski: The ontology categories have not yet been updated. This will be handled soon. (2W0Y)
PeterYim: OOR sandbox url: http://sandbox.oor.net/ (or http://oor-01.cim3.net/ ) (2W0Z)
PeterYim: we need to revisit meeting times ... and also find out if we want to meet much at all in August because of the summer (2W10)
PeterYim: REMINDER: important OOR team meeting next Friday 2011_08_05 ... don't miss it! (2W11)

- ______ volunteered to keep a record of the proceedings (2VQP)
- review and adopt agenda (2VQQ)
2. Roll Call & Adoption of last meeting's minutes: (2VQR)
- ref. proceedings of "Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VI" - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_06_17 (2VQT)
- review of agenda (2VZZ)
3. Key items for review and discussion today: (2VQU)
- Announcements and Urgent Matters: (2VQV)
- Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s) (2VQW)
- from 2011.06.17 - MichaelGruninger will examine the OMV to determine which attributes are required and which are optional. (2VQX)
- from 2011.06.17 - KenBaclawski will send KEEPER (the gatekeeping software) to ToddSchneider who will generate the UML. (2VQY)
... items below are mostly from the previous workshop, and will be updated as this session progresses. (2VR0)
- Gatekeeping specifies the a set of minimal requirements that any ontology within the OOR has to meet. The latter are intended to enable the users of the OOR to find quickly ontologies that fit their needs; the criteria are not supposed to ensure the quality of the ontologies. (2VR1)
- Each OOR instance declares what ontology languages it supports. (2VR2)
- Every OOR instance MUST support RDFS. (2VR3)
- Other ontology languages MAY be supported. (2VR6)
- For each metadata attribute, it will be specified whether it is required or optional. (2VR7)
- It MUST be specified whether the ontology is available (or to be available in the future). (2VR8)
- The ontology language MUST be specified. (2VR9)
- Other attributes will be handled offline by MichaelGruninger based on the OMV specification. (2VRA)
- An ontology must satisfy other requirements depending on the ontology language. (2VRB)
