3.1 Review OOR priorities, focus and strategy ... (deferred discussion of this item) (4E4C)
- there is general consensus we would change to a more bottom-up approach (rather than the "top-down" approach we have been taking) ... T (4E4D)
- we will encourage each oor node project to develop (colore, ontohub, socop, oor public instance, etc.) on their own, and coordinate the "team" effort through the use of a shared set of metadata, API and the UI (e.g. how people download (or even upload) ontologies, etc.) (4E4E)
- The key is to ensure that each of the ontology repository projects in OOR are interoperable from the software perspective, uniform in the GUI, and they use a shared approach to ontology metadata (4E4F)
- initially (prior to federation mechanisms being in place) we will make <oor.net> to be an ontology registry, which then links to the ontologies in the actual ontology repository where the ontology is described (4E4G)
- actions will be focused on developing three things (hopefully within the next 3 months): the set of metadata, the API, and some shared thoughts on the UI (4E4H)
- after that, we will focus on building up content with each OOR node tackling the domain(s) they are best with, and put in a concerted effort towards OOR adoption (4E4I)
- action plans - medium/long term ... (deferred discussion of this item) (4E4J)
3.2 Follow-ups relating to PeterYim's retirement (4E4N)

== Proceedings == (4EBU)
[7:06] PeterYim: == MikeDean and PeterYim starts the meeting ... (4EBV)
[7:06] PeterYim: we will try to finish the meeting in an hour if we can (since both Michael and Leo need to leave in an hour) (4EBW)
[7:06] List of members: LeoObrst, MichaelGruninger, MikeDean, PeterYim, TillMossakowski, ToddSchneider (4EBX)
[7:08] PeterYim: === Brainstorm: Future of the OOR Project (4EBY)
[7:08] PeterYim: ==== exploring a closer-coupled working relationship between IAOA and OOR (4EBZ)
[7:09] ToddSchneider: Is IAOA interested in running an ontology repository? (4EC0)
[7:11] MichaelGruninger: The (currently empty) page for the IAOA Ontology Registries and Repositories Technical Committee is http://www.iaoa.org/iaoaTC/TCrepositories/TCrepositories.php (4EC1)
[7:13] MichaelGruninger: Technical Committees (TCs) and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in IAOA differ only in scope (where the latter has a broader scope) (4EC2)
[7:15] PeterYim: if OOR gets "absorbed into" the IAOA Ontology Repository TC, would OOR team members need to be IAOA members? (4EC3)
[7:17] LeoObrst: IAOA has an exception in the IAOA-SWAO-SIG, in that SIG members do not necessarily have to be IAOA members for participation contribution (but will need to become an IAOA member for voting rights and IAOA membership benefits) (4EC4)
[7:17] ToddSchneider: Would the IAOA Ontology Registries and Repositories Technical Committee absorb all of the past work of OOR? (4EC5)
[7:19] MichaelGruninger: The IAOA TC was intended to be a support forum for people to find access to any of the ontology repositories that exist. Ideally, IAOA would like to coordinate the activities of ontology repositories (4EC6)
[7:20] MikeDean: Umbrella and infrastructure are attractive, but OOR seems much more mature organizationally. OOR also has an established brand. (4EC7)
[7:20] LeoObrst: there is no charter yet for that TC (4EC8)
[7:22] ToddSchneider: But if IAOA's 'mission' is to promote the use of ontology, should it not provide a source of ontologies? (4EC9)
[7:24] MikeDean: OOR focused on software environment as well as content. (4ECA)
[7:26] LeoObrst: OOR could become a project under that TC (4ECB)
[7:31] ToddSchneider: To Support "... the development of collaborations between research and industry" shouldn't IAOA be providing a test bed or an evolving reference implementation? (4ECC)
[7:33] ToddSchneider: There are 'standards' and then there are defacto standards. I wouldn't think it outside the scope of IAOA to support the latter. (4ECD)
[7:35] ToddSchneider: Can't IAOA afford commercial web hosting? (4ECE)
[7:37] MichaelGruninger: @ToddSchneider[7:35] There are many hosting options possible, and we are still sorting out the new configuration (4ECF)
[7:36] LeoObrst: OOR could also remain under new Ontolog (4ECG)
[7:37] MikeDean: . as platform host (4ECH)
[7:39] ToddSchneider: Who would take over all of the OOR artifacts? (4ECI)
[7:44] ToddSchneider: What are the organizational options under IAOA? (4ECJ)
[7:47] MichaelGruninger: @ToddSchneider: What do you mean by "organizational options"? (4ECK)
[7:48] LeoObrst: potentially some OOR funding from IAOA (4ECL)
[7:50] PeterYim: "IAOA-TC" and "OOR Initiative" relationship possibilities: "identity," "subsumption," "affiliation," "hosting," ... (4ECM)
[7:51] PeterYim: ref. OOR's repository network members: http://oor.net/index1.html (4ECN)
[7:54] TillMossakowski: Socop will be hosted by Ontohub, see https://ontohub.org/socop (4ECO)
[7:54] MikeDean: [action-PeterYim] Peter to redirect socop.oor.net to OntoHub SOCoP repository, which will now become primary (4ECP)
[7:54] TillMossakowski: Peter will change the URL redirection (4ECQ)
[8:00] MikeDean: Peter willing to allow us to continue to use oor.net indefinitely (4ECR)
[8:01] ToddSchneider: Peter, what about the OOR wiki page and all the meeting artifacts? (4ECS)
[8:01] PeterYim: exisiting OntologWiki (now at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/wiki ) will become a "read only" archive, all content will migrate to the OntologPSMW (now at: http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki ) ... KenBaclawski-NEU and TillMossakowski-Magdeburg are likely going to host that (still working out the details) ... ongoing OOR work could probably continue there (4ECT)
[8:01] MikeDean: If email lists change, they should probably become XXX@oor.net, redirecting to whatever infrastructure is used. (4ECU)
[8:01] PeterYim: ^subject to permission by the new hosting party, presumably (4ECV)
[8:03] PeterYim: ref. various lists in question: http://ontolog.cim3.net/mailman/admin/ (4ECW)
[8:09] PeterYim: [action-PeterYim-TillMossakowski] will move the following lists: [oor-forum], [oor-dev] and [oor-users] from cim3.net to uni-magdeburg.de (along with the 18 IAOA lists) (4ECX)
[8:20] PeterYim: NancyWiegand and DaliaVaranka are also in the meeting (have logged in a while back already; Nancy since ~7:30) (4ECY)
[8:11] PeterYim: === 3.3 Taking inventory of Ontology Repository instances that are in the OOR network - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2014_07_15#nid4E4W (4ECZ)

[8:15] TillMossakowski: sorry, I have to go (4ED2)
[8:18] PeterYim: [action-NancyWiegand] will work with PeterFox (or LinePouchard & PeterFox) to try to get the ESIP-Portal as part the federated OOR repository nodes (instances) - as in http://oor.net/index1.html - agreeing to be a node, supporting the OOR vision and mission, and permitting the ESIP-Portal to be addressed as <esip.oor.net> (or something similar) (4ED3)
[8:20] MichaelGruninger: (was away for about 15 minutes) ok i'm back ... (4ED4)
[8:25] PeterYim: [action-MichaelGruninger] will draft something tangible regarding the IAOA-OOR working relationship for review, discussion and decision at the next admin and planning meeting (7/29?). (4ED5)
[8:25] ToddSchneider: we need KenBaclawski to be at that meeting too. (4ED6)
