OOR/ConferenceCall 2012 05 22

= OpenOntologyRepository: OOR Development Workshop-VIII - Tue 2012_05_22 =

This is our 8th OOR-dev workshop, a workshop series devoted to the discussion and synchronization of the various development efforts toward the OOR system and platform. Among other agenda items, this workshop will provide the opportunity for code contributors to compare notes on "adding tabs" (as a follow-up to our last OOR Architecture & API Workshop - OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_05_08 - devoted to discussing the merits of "tabs" and other related issues.)

Topic: Getting OOR Development Going - Take-VIII

 * audio recording of the session [ 1:11:07 ; mp3 ; 8.14 MB ]
 * chat-transcript of this session

1. Meeting called to order:


 * MikeDean takes the chair and welcomes everyone
 * PeterYim volunteered to take notes
 * review and adopt agenda

2. Roll Call:


 * see above
 * welcome and intro of new member(s) (if applicable)

3. Key items for review and discussion today:


 * code contributors to compare notes on "adding tabs"
 * MikeDean: have not had a chance to do actual work, but did review PaulAlexander's updated documentation, which seems to be quite comprehensive now - see: http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui
 * KenBaclawski: Maximo's "Keeper" was in SOAP, while BioPortal web-services is RESTful ... I (Ken) have code that can handle both SOAP and REST
 * Ken & Maximo will deploy that code to, in a sense, re-implement the despatch mechanism, which will be able to take care of this (REST vs. SOAP) problem ... the plan will be to have this code being independent of the BioPortal codebase


 * discussion on how we can continue to engage the other potential code contributors
 * possibilities -
 * ToddSchneider: tried, a while back, STIDS - tried to engage KathyLaskey
 * TimDarr - may have a resource in a month or so; will see
 * MikeDean: SOCoP - NaijunZhou from UMD may have something to contribute; Mike will talk to him to explore possibilities


 * review our code development focus and direction, to make sure we stay relevant to external changes and standardization efforts (especially in light of recent trends in related work):
 * "big data"
 * Linked Open Data (LOD)
 * graph-based search/computation
 * MikeDean / PeterYim: Related work: OData, GData, Google Knowledge Graph, Cray - uRiKA, Neo4J
 * OData (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Data_Protocol & http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-05/msg00056.html )
 * GData (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GData )
 * - ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-05/msg00028.html
 * Cray - uRiKA (Universal RDF Integration Knowledge Appliance) - see: http://www.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/2012-03-01/cray_parlays_supercomputing_technology_into_big_data_appliance.html
 * Neo4J - ref. thread: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-04/msg00086.html - DuaneNickull is organizing an Ontolog session on this
 * KenBaclawski / PeterYim: even a little reason, when applied to huge amount of data that touches a huge user-base, could make a lot of impact
 * Possibilities:
 * MikeDean: One approach is to export and/or ontologies to some of these new formats.
 * PeterYim / MikeDean: OOR ontologies could become the lingua franca for mapping in various domains.


 * coordinate near-term and medium term OOR development efforts

4. Revisiting our "Most Critical Tasks At Hand" list ...(which we haven't reviewed for a while now) ... defer to our next OOR-Team call 2012_06_12
