Suggested topics to be covered:

  • Re-assessing our resources & discuss student support with Michael Grüninger and (possibly) KathyLaskey

      • inclination towards first order logic ... starting up a project called COLORE - common logic ontology repository (the student available in April does not even have to be working on this)
    • Todd / Michael: focus on implementation and functional issues
      • Todd: hopefully based on ontological engineering approaches
    • Peter: we still don't have a OOR repository for people to put ontologies into yet! That should be among our first steps
    • Ken / Peter: this group is still working on an NSF proposal, but we are not waiting ... should move the OOR project with volunteer work and passion
    • Michael: maybe we should explore what is the simplest things we can do in the next six months that could help move the project forward
    • maybe we should do a take-2 on "Getting OOR Development Off the Ground: Identifying Synergies & Gaps" - ref: take-1: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_08_22

      • Ken: I am sure there are people who would want to contribute, but we need to identify the "gaps" that they can fill in
      • Todd: if I remember correctly, Kathy even suggested that a whole class would work on a piece like that
