* see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007/OrganizingCommitteeMeeting_2007_03_06#nidUQN above] 

* Apologies about last week - someone needs to have the moderator access code to start the call. And that code is... 

3. Urgent Issues: 

* getting the community-specific discussions going: 
** see (communities enumerated): http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_DefinitionsOfOntology#nidTIS

** action: ...

*** Nicola: we catalog, and map out the framework 
*** Peter: ask various communities to put together a glossary of their ontology (or ontology-related) vocabulary 
*** Steve / Nicola: ask various community representative to where they think they fit in 
*** try getting TomGruber to present his view some time soon, that is going to help 

* Discussion: 
** Steve: steer away from the word 'ontology' and just ask other communities how they define their 'structures' 
** Olivier / Steve: we should be the USGS (cartographers) rather than the UN (peacekeepers) of 'ontologies' here. 
** Steve / Leo: start putting something up (a draft) so that people have something to talk about 
*** cadidates to drive the drafting: LeoObrst, [[MichaelGruninger]], ... with support from Steve, Olivier 
*** start from the draft communique wiki page ... and have anyone contribute even small chunks (without major time commitments) 
*** maybe someone could start by drafting a table-of-content - Steve? 
*** when ready for another round of reviews, someone makes a post to [ontology-summit] list 
*** use combination of wiki, spreadsheet (google spreadsheet for collaborative editing, and excel for 

* assigning wiki editors
