*** Rex / Peter: XMDR - [[Bargmeyer|Bruce Bargmeyer]] or someone from his XMDR team
*** [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] / [[ElisaKendall|Elisa Kendall]]: [[PatHayes|Pat Hayes]], [[DeborahMcGuinness]]

**** [[BrandNiemann|Brand Niemann]] (new! input/2005.10.15): EricPeterson - who's been working on an OWL version of the FEA-DRM and who will lead the COSMO development subgroup in the newly formed SICoP / ONTAC-WG

*** Anders: we should have a "Tools / Testing" discussion
*** Kurt: "on metamodels, independent of the representation" (at a level that allows us to avoid the language war)

5) Communications, logistics, & work protocols issues

* (new!) Ontolog podcast - EMichaelMaximilien (Thanks, Max!)
** see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidJMZ
** see also: [http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/resource/podcast/ontolog_podcast_image_20060125a.png iTunes screen shot of our podcast] (courtesy ShinyaYamada).
** shall we advertise? --ppy: don't do this quite yet ... wait till we have someone to sponsor the bandwidth/traffic, it could become costly if we actually got lucky (and got popular!)
** solicitation from Max - need volunteers to work on the items below:
*** pelase review the "description" and feedback on what is preferred - ref. that for 2004.09.08 and before, or 2004.09.24 and after
**** Bob & Peter feels that the version used in 2004.09.08 and before is better
*** copyright statements need to be customized
*** ownership need to be customized
*** keyword lists need to be customized
** this dovetails into what [[NicolasRouquette|Nicolas Rouquette]] have been trying to get the community to do -- tagging the community content
*** all: let's put this in as a candidate technical discussion session

6) Follow-ups from previous calls

* Reveiw of the Thu 2005.12.15 "Ontology Applications and Implementations" session
** what was good
*** had a flurry of submissions after closing, therefore, we have a few on queue now
*** had 17 people in the audience - reasonable crowd
** what needs improvement
** how would we do it differently next time
*** [[BobSmith|Bob Smith]]: maybe have presentaters structure it to tell us:
**** what is the application?
**** what tools were used?
**** what does the ontology look like, and how was it applied?
**** how long did it take to implement, how big a scope, ...
**** how successful was it?
**** ref. topquadrant, michael denny, mark musen's Applied Ontologies magazine for matrices
** other input
*** Kurt: would not be hard to put together another session; probably only need a leadtime of 2~3 weeks

* Review of the 2005.01.12 & 01.19 [[LeoObrst|Leo Obrst]] "What is an Ontology?" sessions - discussion postponed
** what was good
** what needs improvement
*** [[BobSmith|Bob Smith]]: Suggestion about the 30 minute Introductions Phase of Presentations with LARGE attendees: Eliminate it... (Yes, I know it is sometimes helpful, but we should be able to get this info in better ways....)
** how would we do it differently next time
** other input

* Engaging UN/CEFACT:
** Anders: ready to find a way forward
** Kurt: the status - our input to UN/CEFACT, and interaction with Duane & Mary Kay
** Anders: Modelers Reference Initiative (MRI) - a community (just started) now going with a bi-weekly (generally alternating Wednesdays) conference call
*** would like to invite Ontolog to present
*** can reciprocate by directing people to Ontolog
** Kurt: let's track when a new version (where some of our comments were folded in) comes out that we should further comment on
** Peter / Anders: let's try to have a phone-bridged joint sub-session betwwen the March [[UpperOntologySummit]] and the UN/CEFACT meeting (they both happen on the same week.) - [Anders and Peter to work out the details off-line]
*** best possibility is late mroning EST / early morning PST Wed 3/15/06 maybe 1 hour to share between UN/CEFACT and the UO folks
**** (updated/--ppy) on further discussion, phone conferencing does not seem to be the most appropriate medium after all; we'll focus on doing the following (as suggested by Anders)
** Anders: look forward to possibility of someone from Ontolog presenting at the March 2006 UN/CEFACT meeting in Vancouver
*** candiate speaker from Ontolog: Kurt, Bob or Duane to be our ambassador
**** (update/--Kurt) Kurt will not be available to travel that week, he'll try to ping Bob or Duane to see if they can do it.
