Agenda Ideas
please insert agenda ideas below ...


 * MichaelGruninger: For this session ...
 * Our goal is to evaluate the adequacy of OMV for OOR metadata.
 * Our current objective is to determine the different relationships among ontologies within OOR.
 * We will discuss two potential areas that can supply candidate ontologies -- time ontologies and geospatial ontologies.
 * Peter: continue to explore what resources are needed to define a minimal set of metadata requirements for implementation into OOR-gatekeeping (so we can move from OOR-sandbox to OOR-production, and be able to stand up both servers); and solicit volunteers

PeterYim: Hi Ken!

TimDarr: Tim Darr joining

PeterYim: Hi Tim

MichaelGruninger: tackling real use cases ...

MichaelGruninger: (from our last metadata workshop 2011.05.13) MikeBennett: Time ontology efforts: W3C time; OMG draft work; Mayo Clinic (Cui Tao, paper at ICBO in Buffalo in July); FpML derived time terms; our own draft terms ... [06:44] MikeBennett: Pat Hayes: Catalog of Temporal Theories

MichaelGruninger: MikeBennett: Geographical ontologies would be a very useful area to align and cross reference ontologies (for instance UN-FAO has very specific scope; ISO 3166 has no axioms; GeoNames?...

MichaelGruninger: Gary will provide a list of existing standards that are related to geospatial concepts and ontologies

MichaelGruninger: USGS "toy ontologies" for domains such as hydrology

MichaelGruninger: SWEET (http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/) Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology

MikeDean: http://vocamp.org/wiki/GeoVoCampDC2011

GaryBergCross: See http://www.knoodl.com/ui/groups/SOCoP_INTEROP for some of the SWEET modules I placed there in prep for VoCAmp.

PeterYim: [action] KenBaclawski, MikeDean and GaryBergCross will coordinate to get the OOR-sandbox up again (with some of the illustrative ontology contents) to be available during the SOCoP [[VoCamp] next week] (Jun-3 & 4, 2011 at Washington, DC)

anonymous morphed into ToddSchneider

MikeDean: Need for Geospatial and other ontology categories needed and reflected in previous discussions. It may be helpful for users to be able to create their own categories. This is an existing use case.
