 * Outstanding Issue review/update: (from last call)

Suggested topics to be covered:


 * reports on member activities that are OOR-related
 * getting ready for the OntologySummit2009 face-to-face workshop on Apr-6 & 7
 * Peter: we can offer
 * the OOR sandbox for SDOs (Standards Development Organizations) to play around with while they are ontologizing their standards
 * invite SDOs to federate their (future) ontology repositories with OOR
 * Bruce: ISO 11179 part-3 is out for review - will post link to [oor-forum]
 * Bruce will communicate with SteveRay to put ISO 11179 / KevinKeck onto the Summit F2F agenda
 * getting ready for the Apr-16 "Use Cases" panel session
 * Bruce: ISO 11179 / XMDR will have good input for that
 * Todd: had some use cases posted before -
 * Ken: have student using the OOR-sandbox and may have use cases related to webservices that may be of interest
 * ... K to start some discussion about this on the [oor-forum] list


 * Other Progress updates and Discussions:


 * OOR-related-project status updates:


 * Funding and proposals
 * Ken: not able to get in touch with the NSF datanet people - need FrankOlken's help


 * short term activity and action plans


 * OOR sandbox instance - status review - http://oor-01.cim3.net
 * Mike: who is getting the "feedback" from oor-01
 * Peter: don't know ... nice to bring this up on the [oor-dev] list (the Stanford folks could probably tell us, or set something up) ... maybe nice to setup new listservs to capture and archive them openly.
 * Mike: suggest others to load some experimental ontologies for testing
 * for the "sandbox OOR instance", we will not limit submitters to be authors (although it would be nice)
 * Peter: by the time we have the "production OOR instance" we probably need submission policies and, at least, rudimentary gatekeeping policies (as discussed at OntologySummit2008)
 * Kate: consider using Trac with the OOR instance
 * tracking both the repository and its content
 * Ken: we use Trac too (it's a wiki-based issue tracker and built on top of a subversion repository)
 * Mike: the BioPortal may be using the gforge bug tracker
 * Todd: still working on reverse engineering the BioPortal architecture - using "Enterprise Architect"
 * K: consider "Semantic Architect"
 * new: 2009.04.03
 * Ken: observation - uploads to OOR sandbox seems to take a long time for a relatively small ontology
 * Ken: we have huge ontologies (up to 0.5GB in size) that we will be dealing with
 * Todd: have the students capture some performace data ... would be of interst
 * Peter: please discuss these things on the [oor-dev] list
 * MikeDean will reepost some of his suggestions to the [oor-dev] list
 * Mike: like, add a "submitter" field (to distinguish that from the author)
 * Peter: still want feedback on what people want to do with the oor-01 error messages - Mike, Benjamin, Natasha, ... ?

4. New Issues:


 * Mike: suggest we add a session for MichaelGruninger (and his students) to present their work plans ... as soon as they are ready for it.
