Agenda & Proceedings

1. Meeting called to order:

  • Steve Ray took the chair and welcomed everyone
  • review and adopt agenda
  • note that we have a hard stop at 1:30pm PDT / 4:30pm EDT as the Content Committee will be having their weekly call then. Which mean we have to finish this call in 1 hour or less.

2. Roll Call:

3. Status / Discussion of developing issues:

  • Outstanding Issue Update: (from last call)
    • submit last year's communique to Applied Ontologies Journal [attn: Steve] - Steve contacted Michael Grüninger who will be working on it
    • Leo and Steve will try to provide input by last Tue, suggest we give Michael a go ahead even if there is no input.
  • Discussions:
  • postmortem on the 2/28, 3/27 & 4/3 OOR-Panel sessions and review preparation status for the 2 upcoming one on 4/10
    • see: ConferenceCall_2008_02_28 .. ConferenceCall_2008_03_27 .. ConferenceCall_2008_04_03
      • unfortunately, the voice and shared-screen quality on the 4/3 session were less than ideal, but the great content and collaborative spirit more than made up for it. The recording (after post-processing) is quite intelligible.
    • coming session - see: ConferenceCall_2008_04_10
  • status review of the online discourse
    • refer to content committee call proceedings
    • Barry: for [quality-and-gatekeeping] comments are reaching an asymptote; and most are in favor of fairly strict syntactic gatekeeping.
  • status review on the F2F-workshop planning and preparation
    • status of the F2F agenda - see: OntologySummit2008/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2008_04_07/FaceToFaceAgenda
    • Mark: we should have demos; if not at the sessions, maybe in the evenings, during the Tuesdays breaks, during lunch, etc.
      • Steve: doing it at the hotel would be more straight-forward (cost about same at hotel or at NIST in the evening), NIST will cover cost of hotel room, but if we need refreshments, we will have to find an outside sponsor.
      • Steve will ping Frank Olken on (i) having Frank also champion the demos, as part of the [state-of-art] thread, and (ii) suggest he adds a co-champion
      • demo: venue, time, constraints - firewall, etc.
      • bulletin board
      • BOF gatherings
      • we will pursue the possibility of having a demo segment, but will only decide to go ahead if we can do a proper job with it.
        • to be decided at the next meeting
  • Registration deadlines!
    • Steve: hotel (reduced rate rooms) cut-off Sun 2008.04.13; NIST pre-registration closes on Mon 2008.04.21
      • Steve will make a post to [ontolog-invitation]
