Agenda & Proceedings

1. Meeting called to order:

  • review and adopt agenda

2. Roll Call:

3. Status Review and Discussion:

  • Urgent issues:
  • Outstanding Issue review/update: (from last call)
    • Ken Baclawski: the OOR preliminary proposal for the NSF 07-601 grant solicitation was formally submitted to NSF on 2008.11.13-2:17pm EST
      • submitted online from Northeastern University (NEU) as Fastlane proposal #0908046
      • we should hear back from NSF around Jan~Feb, 2009 ... if we get to move on with the full proposal, we'll probably have about 3 months to put that together
      • ref: OpenOntologyRepository_Proposal/Nsf_07601 ... Ken will update the page
      • All: vote of thanks, once again, to Ken and the NEU folks, and to everyone who contributed to making that happen!

Suggested topics to be covered:

  • discuss/review progress on the OOR-NSF-08575 grant proposal - due 2008.11.19 at NEU, and then 2008.11.28 at NSF
  • OOR-related-project status updates
  • short term activity and action plans
  • OOR-Ontolog panel series planning and update
  • Progress updates and Discussions: - part of the notes below are from the previous meeting; to be updated during this call!
  • discuss/review progress on the OOR-NSF-08575 (large) grant proposal - ref. OpenOntologyRepository_Proposal/Nsf_08575
  • Ken, ref. oor-nsf07601, given that its always low probability to get awarded, let's consider making more proposals. Let's move on to tackle a NSF 08-575 large proposal due Nov-28 (small proposals for the same program are due Dec-17)
    • Note: this is science, not infrastructure; a full proposal too, and not just a prelim proposal
    • this should be a different proposal (from oor-nsf07601) - the question is "what research problem are we solving)
    • Ken & K to continue to lead our next effort to do the proposal for a NSF 08-575 large proposal
      • actual deadline for us would be end-of-day Nov-19 (needs to go into NEU/DSPA for review)
      • since this is a full proposal, we will need full work descriptions from everyone, and budgets too (both of which weren't needed before)
      • Peter and K will set up the work environment to support this proposal project
        • the [oor-nsf08575] archived mailing list and webdav server space will be the persistent workspace and archives for the work on this project
          • done - ppy/2008.11.10 ... however, no one except for the leads have been subscribed yet (as I am still not clear who is participating in this proposal. =ppy)
        • the password protected wiki on pbwiki that K will be setting will be used as a dynamic workspace during the preparation process
    • Michelle/2008.11.07: possibility of Honeywell joining in
      • Michelle/2008.11.13: Honeywell participation - it is a no-bid. This is due mostly to 2008's "special" end-of-year Business Development resource allocation

policies. Alignment with proposals in 2009 may be considered.

    • (Noting that we would only have about 3 working-days left if we were really going to do a "large" proposal for nsf08575) it was concluded that we wouldn't be able to get the large proposal out in time, therefore, dropping that idea now
    • encouraging team members to team up and tackle "small" nsf-08575 proposals (due 2008.12.17) on there own
      • please use the "OOR" label while doing so
      • note that PI's are limited to two proposals per program
    • Ken indicated that he/NEU is willing to lead one (small proposal for nsf-08575)
      • Mike might work on this - possibly on "federation" aspects - if so, will send SOW to Ken
    • Trish will find out from Mark if BMIR would be interested to lead one, and whether they are already done a proposal with Bruce
    • Ken: our focus should probably be in the III core program
  • OOR-Ontolog panel series planning and update
  • OOR-related-project status updates:
  • short term activity and action plans
