Session Abstract & Resources:
With this workshop we'll start reviewing the BioPortal build 3253 source code (from November 2011) to see how it fits into the current OOR (draft) architecture and identify changes or additions that need to made to the source code or the architecture.

The review will be based on an HTML report from the Enterprise Architect (EA) UML model of the (reverse engineered) BioPortal source code build 3253 (circa November 2011).

The EA HTML report can be found at http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OOR/oor-dev/BioPortal_Build3253_Nov2011_EA_Model--ToddSchneider_20120130/BioPortal_Build3253_EA_HTML_Report/index.html

See also: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture & OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03

In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from anearlier implementation BioPortal, which is not entirely compatible with the straw man architecture, but furnishes a starting point. This API will also be discussed and modified as needed.


 * Here is the API expressed in WSDL: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORService.wsdl
 * Here is the API expressed in Java: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORI.java

Finally, we need to agree on a plan for completing the development of the specification.

Here is the proposed organizing plan: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/GettingOrganized

We encourage all participants to update your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood.

 * PeterYim volunteered to keep a record of the proceedings


 * review and adopt agenda

2. Roll Call & Adoption of last meeting's minutes:


 * see above
 * introduction of new members (as required)
 * review of agenda

3. Key items for review and discussion today:


 * Announcements and Urgent Matters:


 * review of the reversed engineering BioPortal build 3253 (circa Nov-2011) UML model


 * discuss our plans referencing the updated BioPortal implementation


 * status review of our infrastructure and development resources and platform

... items below are mostly from the previous workshop, and will be updated as this session progresses.


 * Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s)
 * from 2011.06.17 - MichaelGruninger will examine the OMV to determine which attributes are required and which are optional.
 * from 2011.06.17 - KenBaclawski will send KEEPER (the gatekeeping software) to ToddSchneider who will generate the UML.


 * "OOR Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VIII:" (Archives)


 * Gatekeeping specifies the a set of minimal requirements that any ontology within the OOR has to meet. The latter are intended to enable the users of the OOR to find quickly ontologies that fit their needs; the criteria are not supposed to ensure the quality of the ontologies.
 * Each OOR instance declares what ontology languages it supports.
 * Every OOR instance MUST support RDFS.
 * This is required because the metadata is expressed in OMV.
 * OMV is written in OWL, but it may be sufficient to require only RDFS. This needs to be investigated.
 * Other ontology languages MAY be supported.
 * For each metadata attribute, it will be specified whether it is required or optional.
 * It MUST be specified whether the ontology is available (or to be available in the future).
 * The ontology language MUST be specified.
 * Other attributes will be handled offline by MichaelGruninger based on the OMV specification.
 * An ontology must satisfy other requirements depending on the ontology language.
 * Syntax checking is always required.
 * Consistency checking is required with some time limit.


 * Proposal for Partition of Components
 * Presentation
 * A minimal presentation module with just search and workflow
 * Browse (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Search (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Mapping (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Recommender (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Annotator (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Resource Index (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
 * Workflow Administration
 * OOR Instance Administration
 * Other windows
 * Workflow
 * Already developed, but needs to be documented
 * Registrar
 * A minimal registrar
 * Find
 * Initially adapt a SPARQL endpoint. Which one?
 * Inference
 * Initially a part of the SPARQL endpoint
 * Other inference engines
 * Persistence
 * Initially adapt 4Store
 * Administration
 * TBD
 * Federation
 * TBD

Todd / Ken: ref. MikeDean's question: "are javadoc's available?" ... answer: seemingly "no!"

PeterYim: [consensus] our approach toward code contribution (/extension from the BioPortal codebase): (a) KenBaclawski-ToddSchneider to focus on "gatekeeping"; (b) MikeDean on "federation", and (c) MichaelGruninger on "metadata" then "mapping"

ToddSchneider: Action Plan: Michael and his team will focus on metadata (and then mapping); Mike Dean will focus on federation capabilities; Ken and Todd will focus on workflow

MikeDean: like idea of an OOR service layer that includes OOR-specific services (e.g. Find) and can be easily adapted to new BioPortal releases

PeterYim: as far as ncbo-RayFergerson is concerned, he'd appreciate all code extensions to be implemented on "tabs"

MikeDean: it's easy to add new tabs to the UI

MikeDean: http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui

ToddSchneider: The three 'action items' will have there own tabs: adjuncts to the current BioPortal UI

ToddSchneider: Need to find out if BioPortal data model supports 'location' (i.e., repository location/id) information

ToddSchneider: How will access control across federates be handled?

ToddSchneider: There may be additional fields from OMV that OOR will need.

ToddSchneider: Can the OMV interface be generated dynamically from the OMV ontology? This may break some existing BioPortal code.

ToddSchneider: Each of items of the 'action plan' will be added as a new tab (on the current UI).

ToddSchneider: The federation tab will be labeled 'Federation' (this may only be visible to administrators); The workflow tab will initially expose the uploading capability of the gatekeeper functionality. Other gatekeeper capabilities/functionalities will be exposed on other tabs.

ToddSchneider: Another action item is to agree on tab labels for the 'upload' and 'metadata' tabs.

PeterYim: [action] targeting this - Mike, Ken & Michael will all try to have a prototype tab (even just a "hello world" tab) done by our next workshop

KenBaclawski: Subject: [oor-dev] Problem with extending the UI I am trying to extend the BioPortal Rails UI on oor-03 using http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui It seems one must use cd OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_01_31/srv/ncbo/rails/BioPortal/current rather than cd OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_01_31/var/rails/BioPortal/current There is a script/generate, but when I try running it, I get /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory Does anyone have some idea of how this can be fixed? -- Ken

PeterYim: Ken has fired the above question to Paul Alexander - http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2012-01/msg00016.html

PeterYim: MikeDean gave a brief report on the SOCoP-OOR at the INTEROP NSF PI meeting

ToddSchneider: Can we pose a question to BioPortal to see if they would be open to moving the 'Submit New Ontology' functionality to a new tab, called 'Submit'?

ToddSchneider: Have to go.

KenBaclawski: I will continue to find out how to fix the captcha feature. Until it is fixed, captcha is off.

PeterYim: who is anonymous?

PeterYim: let's talk about the next workshops at next Tuesday's regular OOR team meeting

PeterYim: MikeDean: I'll probably be missing next week's meeting, because i'll be traveling

PeterYim: good meeting ... got a lot done ... bye!
