Agenda & Proceedings
1. Meeting called to order:


 * LeoObrst takes the chair and welcome everyone
 * review and adopt agenda
 * PeterYim volunteered to take notes

2. Roll Call:


 * see above


 * welcome and intro of new member(s) (as needed)

3. Status Review and Discussion:


 * Urgent issues:
 * OOR-sandbox down ... probably need to update to latest version of BioPortal.


 * Review and update our "Most Critical Task(s) At Hand" list
 * ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository#nid17YH


 * review previous action items (from 2011.01.21)
 * MikeDean & KenBaclawski to get code repository (at semwebcentral) going
 * YuriyMilov will help MikeDean test the new code repository
 * MichaelGruninger will organize a session on OOR metadata

Key items for review and discussion today:

 * OOR code-repository and re-assessing the 'fork' (what does that mean?) [MikeDean, KenBaclawski, et al.]
 * postponing the update report to next meeting
 * Dean / Yuri: repository works (population of codebase pending)


 * planning for an upcoming panel session on OOR metadata [MichaelGruninger]
 * date reserved - Fri 2011.03.18 (see action item below too)


 * ideas and suggestions (some involving work previously done by the NeOn project) [MathieuDaquin]
 * Mathieu: see proposed architecture (what I think would be an "ideal" ontology repository) at - http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OpenOntologyRepository/OOR-Architecture/OOR-Architecture-Candidates/OOR-architecture-proposal--MathieuDaquin_20110204.pdf
 * Many of the components mentioned exist and can be directly reused. The aspects that we would be keen to work (not making commitments now, though) on are:
 * the versioning element, which as far as I can tell, has not been treated very well in existing ontology repositories
 * common vocabularies to access and describe ontology repositories (OMV exist and should be employed in my opinion, but there is still a lot to do on exposing content of repositories to other repositories, "common APIS" for aggregating content, etc.)
 * the access right aspects, which are a bit tricky in a collaborative ontology-based environment
 * the use of ontology repositories in ontology engineering environments (especially to facilitate reuse and through integrating with ontology editors).
 * Part of that has been partially considered in NeOn, but there is quite significant work to be done in order to actually deliver such features.


 * continue discussion on: Architecture, API and (default) Development Platform [All]
 * YuriyMilov: should we be architecting (i) just a repository, or (ii) a semantic platform ... ?
 * Peter / Leo: we can bring this up at the next time we have a panel session on the topic
 * Organizing a next Panel session on this - date reserved: Fri 2011.03.04
 * see action item below too
