  • Oops this adds an extra break at 2:15. Maybe make this a 15 min break. ??? - This line is not part of the meeting notes, but an observation after the fact - <-- MichelleRaymond/2008.03.31-6:21 EDT -->    (1CT1)
•    (1CSH)
  • The order of the sessions is intended to lead Toward and Open Ontology Repository, going from the state of today's approach to OOR, through the framework and supporting infrastructure of OORs, into the details of including and assessing Ontologies within the OOR to the focus of the Ontology work, Ontology-of-Ontologies.    (1CSW)
  • (as presented from the understanding of MichelleRaymond and likely needing clarification from the Ont-of-Ont champions) - The two main areas for the Ont-of-Ont are: 1) the essential "metadata" (Ontology over or integrated into the ontologies in the repository) required for each Ontology (or the Repository as a whole) in order to aid in understanding and usage of the Repository's contents and 2) the extended/specialized/... "metadata" (Upper Ontology???) requirements for domain restricted OORs.    (1CSI)

•    (1CSJ)
  • Suggest to the Program agenda group that the "extra" 15 minutes be added to the lunch and not distributed throughout the breaks    (1CSK)
  • Realize that the schedule is mutable and we can adapt after we know more from the upcoming discussions and panels.    (1CSL)
  • Note that the start time (8:30 am EST) and end time (still fuzzy) are the critical data points of the schedule    (1CSM)
  •    (1CSN)

• OOR-OntologySummit2008 Joint Panels    (1CSO)
  • The panel An Open Ontology Repository: Rationale, Expectations & Requirements - Session-1 went smashingly    (1CSP)
  • Suggestion that all content champions review the audio or proceedings notes and pull out relevant content for wiki pages and discussion threads    (1CSQ)
  • The An Open Ontology Repository: Rationale, Expectations & Requirements - Session-2 is this Thursday    (1CSR)

4. New Issues:    (1CRK)

  • Some discussions are getting off topic    (1CST)
