Agenda & Proceedings

... (Agenda Coming ... what's captured here is mainly from last week)

1. Meeting called to order:

2. Roll Call:

3. Urgent Issues:

  • Discussion:
    • What could ensure us that we are bringing "value" to the community-at-large (or even the world-at-large), with this "Ontology Summit 2007" endeavor? How do we keep conveners engaged?

4. Outstanding Issues:

  • Completed Task Report:
    • the survey is now out - ref: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontology-summit/2007-03/msg00040.html
    • Peter will ping the various community champions for their survey response, and to solicit their help to synthesize and elaborate on the input representing their constituencies
    • survey responses close on 25-Mar-2007 (or shortly thereafter). We will then:
      • post the raw collected data (with organizations, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and expertise self-assessment removed) for the conveners to view, discussion and make suggestions
      • we will analyse and synthesize the collected data (KenBaclawski has volunteered to work with Peter P. Yim on this, so far)
  • Outstanding Issue Update:
    • Leo Obrst and Michael Grüninger will drive the "framework" (dimensions, typology, ...)
    • Chris Welty & Tom Gruber to drive the categorization
    • Olivier Bodenreider & Frank Olken will drive the communique
    • ALL: please do all internal exchanges and discussions over the [ontology-summit-org] list (so everyone else is posted, as all these task are so interrelated)
    • ALL: we'll try to engage all conveners in the process by using the [ontology-summit] list (this will help the adoption of the proposed farmework, categorization & communique eventually, which we will need)
