OOR/ConferenceCall 2012 02 28

= OpenOntologyRepository: OOR Development Workshop-VII - Tue 2012_02_28 =

This is our 7th OOR-dev workshop, which is devoted to the topic of how we should be organized to getting real OOR-related open source software development work going. Specifically, we shall use this session to compare notes on the initial experience of various sub-team trying to make a first attempt on adding code to the existing BioPortal codebase.

Topic: "Getting OOR Development Going - Take VII"

 * chat-transcript of this session

1. Meeting called to order:


 * KenBaclawski 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) (if applicable)

3. Status Review and Discussion:


 * Review and update our "Most Critical Task(s) At Hand" list ...(we will skip this stock agenda item at today's call.)
 * ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository#nid17YH

4. Key items for review and discussion today:

 * OOR: sandbox- (oor-03), socop- (oor-04), dev- (oor-05), test- (oor-06), instances - quick status update
 * everyone should test with oor-06
 * oor-01 is obsolete [action: PeterYim will arrange to bring it down]
 * Michael will make the COLORE repository at: http://code.google.com/p/colore/source/browse/ to be accessible as http://colore.oor.net - [action: PeterYim to arrange]
 * (for the next call) differentiating the various instances


 * MichaelGruninger: [announce] the Bremen group's plan to use a set of student projects to implement some OOR functionality
 * TillMossakowski's course - students doing some rapid prototype ... they are starting a google-doc on this (which they will share with us soon) ... note that this is independent of the OntoIOp work.
 * OntoIOp project will look towards working with OOR as discussed in this ISO WG's recent (2012.02.23) Berlin meeting.


 * comparing notes on the first attempts to add code/tab to the BioPortal codebase
 * KenBaclawski - have created a "new page", not a "new tab" yet (as that requires some image editing work, which Ken doesn't have the tools or experience for)
 * see: http://oor-03.cim3.net/ - within the "Find an ontology" box - see: "Browse Ontologies > Experiment"
 * Ken: this is a bottleneck for anyone to put up a new tab [Ken will make a suggestion to the NCBO folks]


 * Getting us to a stage when we can run a OOR-production box


 * planning and coordination on upcoming OOR events


 * ... (for this or next call) discussion: justifying "oor.net"

... Notes below are from previous meeting(s), and will be updated as this meeting progresses.


 * OOR: sandbox, devbox, socop-instance status update
 * ref. http://oor-03.cim3.net is the current OOR_SandBox
 *  is up (still on CANTOR) and accessible as: http://socop.oor.net
 * Peter: WITTGENSTEIN is now up, running CentOS 6.2, now testing/debugging KVM-based virtualization
 * since we are running multiple instances, we need some means to differentiate, e.g. color scheme for instant recognition of the different instances; clearly identifying software revision level; differentiating support questions from the sandbox, socop, or dev instance. ... [for discussion at the next Mar-6 call - MichaelGruninger will take a lead on this!]
 * probably time to start discussing metadata for "ontology repositories" (not just for "ontologies") ... we would need this to support federation, presumably! [to be discussed on the next team meeting (Mar-6)!]


 * planning and coordination on upcoming OOR events
 * Mar-6 team meeting
 * re-scheduling metadata (VI?) session: with MikeBennett on financial metadata - some time in Mar-2012 (say, Mar-13) - [MichaelGruninger]
 * OOR Architecture & API Workshop-XII now scheduled for (Mar-20) - Ken & Todd
 * next Content workshop ...?
 * ... lining up more?
 * re-scheduling Joint IAOA-OOR-Ontolog "Ontologies and Standards" mini-series session-3: on "ISO/IEC 24707 Common Logic and IKL" [MichaelGruninger & JohnBateman] ... will discuss off-line and revert (as OntoIOp is also meeting every other week now)


 * Getting us to a stage when we can run a OOR-production box ... (item skipped; discussion deferred)
