OpenOntologyRepository (OOR) - Metadata    (2QEZ)

This page is for the documentation relating to the metadata requirements of the "open ontology repository" we are planning to implement through the OOR initiative.    (2QF0)

What's New:    (2QF1)

• 2012_03_06 - OOR Metadata Workshop-VI - OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_03_06    (365E)
• 2012_01_17 - OOR Metadata Workshop-V - OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_01_17    (365F)
• 2011_10_18 - OOR Metadata Workshop-IV - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_10_18    (365G)
• 2011_05_27 - OOR Metadata Workshop-III - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_05_27    (365H)
• 2011_05_13 - OOR Metadata Workshop-II - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_05_13    (365I)
• 2011_03_18 - OOR Metadata Workshop-I - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_18    (2QF2)

Tasks at Hand:    (2QF3)

... this and the following sections need to be updated!    (365J)

• From the Fri 2011.03.18 workshop: (ref.)    (2QF4)
  • 1. (near term) to review Ken's use cases to validate the adequacy of OMV.    (2QF5)
    • Action Item 1: Evaluate the adequacy of OMV with respect to the OOR use cases at http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/ontologies/    (2QF6)
  • 2. (urgent) drive the OOR sandbox to production-box transition.    (2QF7)
    • Action Item 2: Focus on issues related to "production" OOR, particularly the gatekeeper functionality.    (2QF8)
  • 3. (medium term) we need research, discuss, and sought expert advice on state-of-art on versioning, identifier, etc.    (2QF9)
    • we might want to schedule a panel session to delve into this.    (2QFA)
    • we can schedule another "OOR Metadata Workshop" in about a month or so as a follow-up.    (2QFB)

Proposed:    (2QIZ)

18 March 2011 - OOR will use the OMV ontology as the core metadata ontology.    (2QJ3)

18 March 2011 - OMV will be extended to import additional extensions needed to support OOR (e.g., ontology configurations, version history)    (2QJ0)

22 March 2011 - JohnGraybeal proposes evaluating using MMI's Ontology Metadata for Community Ontologies as an extension    (2QKV)

Discussion of Proposal    (2QJ1)

JohnGraybeal 2011.03.22: MMI spent considerable time determining what metadata would be important to have for ontologies that are maintained on behalf of communities that develop information resources. We found a number of metadata items that were important for ongoing management of ontologies -- where they came from, how they are maintained, frequency of update, licensing and permission, and even more refined details -- in addition to the OMV metadata specified at that time. We didn't implement everything we envisioned, but do have a fair number in our system. The Ontology Metadata page provides a summary of our conclusions.    (2QKW)

Adopted:    (2QFC)
