Key items for review and discussion today

  • getting the OOR code repository at semwebcentral started (for real!) - http://oor.semwebcentral.org/
    • OOR_SandBox - http://sandbox.oor.net/ontologies (previously http://oor-01.cim3.net/ontologies) (2NWS)
    • OOR code-repository and re-assessing the 'fork' (what does that mean?) [MikeDean, Ken Baclawski, et al.]
    • categories - ref. MikeDean's msg - http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2011-02/msg00012.html
    • 2011.02.18: *Important Note* - we will start afresh on the OOR sandbox content (i.e. uploaded ontologies) after the update install - everyone who has uploaded ontologies so far should note
      • those who are "using" the OOR sandbox content now, should note down the ontologies they need, and may need to contact the authors to upload them again if they don't show up. (presumably, those content relating to biomedicine, previously federated from BioPortal, will not be there any more, at least not automatically.) Also, links to ontologies or elements within ontologies established previously will no longer be valid after the content gets re-populated - Ken will make a post about this on [oor-forum]
    • workplan:
      • get "fork" codebase
      • put "fork" codebase to oor code repository
      • update codebase to appropriate oor install code
        • customize banner/logo
        • customize IPR statement
        • re-establish categories - see: MikeDean's msg
        • other?
      • installation - ETA of updated OOR (v ? )
    • prepare vm image
      • vm image available for download - ETA
    • Tim Darr offer to help, some from his team of 8~10 people might get involved, most of the necessary skill sets in java programming, linux sysadmin, vmware, etc. are available
  • Planning - 2011_03_04 - Friday: OOR "Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-I" - Co-chairs: Ken Baclawski & Todd Schneider - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_04   
    • continue discussion on: Architecture, API and (default) Development Platform [All]
    • Todd Schneider may not be able to attend, but will support the planning and organizing work to put this together
    • this should be a workshop, rather than a panel discussion - we want to walk out of this meeting with decisions on the OOR Architecture, API and (default) Development Platform, so people can start contributing code right after.
  • Planning - 2011_03_18 - Friday: OOR Metadata Workshop-I - Chair: Michael Grüninger - OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_03_18
