[11:39] MikeBennett: Infrastructure

[11:39] MikeBennett: The bridge is definitely gone

[11:39] MikeBennett: Mailing list is OK with OVGU

[11:39] MikeBennett: Other resources - Ken is funding some of this, needs a long term funding resolution

[11:40] MikeBennett: Specifically, the wiki is funded by Ken (this is on Digital Ocean)

[11:41] MikeBennett: The ontologforum.org and other domains also have annual domain renewal fees.

[11:41] MikeBennett: Mike will aim to reconvene the BoT this week or next week.

[11:41] MikeBennett: Other items:

[11:42] MikeBennett: The Repository (the one for all the documents on the wiki) is hosted at Amazon S3.

[11:43] MikeBennett: Peter is still apparently doing a thing. This would be the archive of all the old stuff, which is still not fully moved over to the Amazon repository

[11:44] MikeBennett: There are still links in the rest of the world, to Peter's original domain, which sometimes resolves and sometimes doesn't. Hence the need for Amazon to store this material.

[11:45] MikeBennett: Similarly, useful resource pages, not all of which we knew were there, are still hosted on cim3.

[11:45] MikeBennett: For instance:

[11:45] MikeBennett: http://ontolog.cim3.net/wiki/IaoaOntologyTerminology.html

[11:46] MikeBennett: These will eventually be brought into the new wiki but this process takes time.

[11:46] MikeBennett: There is code that Ken has to help with that.

[11:47] MikeBennett: MediaWiki is the tool we are using now, but it lacks direct access to the database which limits what you can do. So Ken has written a service which addresses that issue.

[11:47] AndreaWesterinen: I am part of the education committee.

[11:48] AndreaWesterinen: That is where the ontology terminology is.

[11:49] MikeBennett: So, does the Education committee need access to any of the services we were talking about above?

[11:49] MikeBennett: We also need to be able to update the page linked above.

[11:52] AndreaWesterinen: http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/pmwiki.php?n=IAOAEdu.TermList

[11:54] MikeBennett: This means that the Education Committee pages do not need to be migrated to Ken's wiki structures, though it would be helpful to have a link from there.

[11:54] MikeBennett: Meanwhile we would benefit from better integration among the IAOA resources.

[11:55] MikeBennett: Also the Wikipedia pages about IAOA need to be more proactively managed.

[11:55] MikeBennett: This could also fall to the Education Committee, who meet this Wednesday/

[11:57] MikeBennett: There are also new terms that are needed, that came up on Nicola's most recent course (co-presented with Giancarlo). These are in a paper that the 2 of them are working on.

[11:57] MikeBennett: Things like Sortal. Some are on the EC website and some are not.

[11:59] MikeBennett: so this goes into deep concepts that need to be modeled, as well as the usage of high level terms like Ontology and been "Notion"

[12:01] MikeBennett: We still have no clear picture of what the infrastructure actually is. Need to make is explicit.

[12:02] MikeBennett: This all needs to be written on a page somewhere.

[12:03] KenBaclawski: http://ontologforum.org/index.php?title=Procedures&oldid=22303#hid4

[12:04] MikeBennett: It merits a separate page for what it takes to make the actual things exist. For example where is ontologforum.org actually running (Digital Ocean)); who knows it (Ken) and so on.

[12:05] AndreaWesterinen: But OntologyForum is not = IAOA.

[12:09] MikeBennett: Ontolog Forum BoT will be 4th. 12:30 Eastern Time (normal Ontolog slot).

[12:17] AndreaWesterinen: http://www.ninepts.com/solutions/tools/ontograph/

[12:25] AndreaWesterinen: Note that my other paper will arrive by next Monday.

[12:27] MikeBennett: Blog - no time right now.

[12:27] MikeBennett: AoB?

[12:27] MikeBennett: Adjourn
