** the default development platform
 
== Abstract  ==
 
As a result of the two [[OOR]] Architecture and API panel sessions back in Oct & Nov-2010, we have been exposed to a large number of architecture and API candidates for ontology repositories. We have had requirements for the [[OOR]], at least in broad outline form, since the Ontology Summit 2008.  We have been running an [http://oor-01.cim3.net/ontologies OOR sandbox] based on BioPortal. Most recently, we have forked from the [[BioPortal]] code base with the intention of proceeding separately with the development of a reference implementation.  
 
At this series of meetings, we are going through the process of producing the actual OOR specification. It will be run as a workshop where the straw man proposal will be discussed and modified as needed.  


* quick status update on the OOR Logo quest
The various architectures and APIs for ontology repositories presented for consideration are available at '''[[OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture]]'''
* Review status: the upgraded [[OOR_SandBox]] - http://sandbox.oor.net/ontologies
 
** take a look at the level of [http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [[BioPortal]] development] and [https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/bioontology-support support activities]  
Here is the straw man architecture: '''[[OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03]]'''
* Status and action review: OOR-dev box - http://oor-02.cim3.net  
 
* where do we go from here with the OOR initiative?
In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from [[BioPortal]], which is not entirely compatible with the straw man architecture, but furnishes a starting point. This API will also be discussed and modified as needed.
** review (and possibly update) priorities
 
** action planning
Here is the API expressed in WSDL: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORService.wsdl
* Team member activities review
 
* Soliciting content (getting people to upload ontologies)  
Here is the API expressed in Java: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORI.java
* ...
 
Finally, we need to agree on a plan for completing the development of the specification.
 
Here is the proposed organizing plan: '''[[OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/GettingOrganized]]'''
 
We encourage all participants to update your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood.
 
The following are relevant prior meetings:

Since we did not have a quorum, it was decided (by the three who were in attendance) to postpone the workshop. We spend some time updating one another on latest relevant developments in the OOR-related world and then adjourned the meeting.  


1. Meeting called to order:  
=== In-session chat-transcript  ===
 
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: Welcome to the
 
[[OpenOntologyRepository]]: Architecture & API Workshop-VII - Fri 2011_07_29
 
Topic: "OOR Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VII"
 
Session Chair: [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]] & [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]

.
 
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: Hi Ken ...
 
[[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: Good morning Peter
 
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: good morning
 
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: it's the summer, and a lot of people are still away ...
 
therefore, like the 2011_07_08 session, I suggest we postpone if we do not have 5
 
or more participants ( ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_08#nid2VNQ )
 
anonymous morphed into [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]


* [[LeoObrst|Leo Obrst]] takes the chair and welcome everyone
[[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]: I concur with Peter's suggestion (and I'm very tired)
* review and adopt agenda
* [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] volunteered to take notes


2. Roll Call:
[[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: The new UI code has been checked in. The sandbox and source code are now consistent.  


* see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_15#nid2VO9 above]
[[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: The ontology categories have not yet been updated. This will be handled soon.  


* welcome and intro of new member(s) (as needed)  
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: OOR sandbox url: http://sandbox.oor.net/ (or http://oor-01.cim3.net/ )  


3. Status Review and Discussion:
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: we need to revisit meeting times ... and also find out if we want to meet


* '''Review and update our "Most Critical Task(s) At Hand" list'''
much at all in August because of the summer
** ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OpenOntologyRepository#nid17YH


=== Key items for review and discussion today  ===
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: REMINDER: important OOR team meeting next Friday 2011_08_05 ... don't miss it!


* where do we go from here with the OOR initiative?
[[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: -- session ended 6:55am PDT --  
** review (and possibly update) priorities
** action planning
* quick status update on the OOR Logo quest
* Review status: the upgraded [[OOR_SandBox]] - http://sandbox.oor.net/ontologies
** take a look at the level of [http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [[BioPortal]] development] and [https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/bioontology-support support activities]

* Team member activities review
* Soliciting content (getting people to upload ontologies)


* '''Discussion:''' ... ''(we only had time to discuss the following important issue at this call, everything else were postponed.)''  
''The agenda below was not covered during the call!''  
** Peter: we don't have the resources and bandwidth to really fork and support a customizedversion of [[BioPortal]] while we continue our development efforts
*** we also should put priority into operating a highly available, persistent, "production" ontology repository that is open to all (users, domains, etc.), as that is, I believe, the primary premise of the OOR effort ... enhancements and value added services should be predicated upon our being able to serve that first.
** Consider two tracks: (a) production track using plain vanila up-to-date [[BioPortal]] (with mostly just a logo change), and (b) a parallel development track continuing with what we are doing now
** Ken / Peter: we should design in "import from BioPortal" to allow a smooth migration in the future
*** Mike: this would allow us to provide some value back to the [[BioPortal]] development effort too
** Ken / Leo: note the linkage and dependencies between [[BioPortal]] and Protege
** Peter / Mike: providing a repository for vocabularies of the LOD community would be a valuable service
** Mike: valuable to be a registry just in and of itself
** Tim: we approach OOR more from a user perspective; given limited volunteered resources we have, the proposals above seem reasonable
** [decision] ALL: we will adopt the two-track plan [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_15#nid2VYX above]; and will discuss further, on implementation issues, at the next OOR-team conference call on 2011.08.05


''items below are from the previous meeting(s) and will be updated as we proceed with this meeting.''
1. Meeting called to order:

* ______ took the chair and welcome everyone
** workplan (from previous calls):
*** update codebase to appropriate oor install code
**** customize banner/logo

*** installation - ETA of updated OOR (v ? )
** prepare vm image
*** vm image available for download - ETA
** [[TimDarr|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
** ''(from 2011.05.06)'' ref input from [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]], [[BioPortal]] is now delivered as an "appliance" - in a vm image
*** the NCBO folks uses the VMware platform for their virtual machine
*** we are currently using (at CIM3) Xen virtual machine for the OOR-sandbox
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: there are utilities that help convert between VMware and Xen vm images
** Anyhow, we need to install from the code - code from the semwebcentral oor code repository
** it is suggested that a conf call between us and the Stanford folks (with, say, [[TejasParikh|Tejas Parikh]], [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]], [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]] with [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]], AlexSkrenchuk, ...) be done ASAP so that we can learn from them they key changes in the recent versions and how the installation is different now [ Ken will arrange ]

* Getting us to a stage when members can contribute code ... how, ETA?
* see [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_29#nid2VPJ above]
** ''(discussion 2011.05.06):''
*** an adopted Architecture & API is definitely crucial, but that's not all
** All team members are encouraged to mull over how we can get to that state effectively
*** in particular ... how do we make this a "successful" community-driven, open source project!?  
** (discussion 2011.06.03)'' ...


* getting the OOR code repository at semwebcentral started (for real!) - http://oor.semwebcentral.org/
* ref. proceedings of "Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VI" - [[OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_06_17]]  
** [[OOR_SandBox]] - http://sandbox.oor.net/ontologies (previously http://oor-01.cim3.net/ontologies)
** OOR code-repository and re-assessing the 'fork' (what does that mean?) [MikeDean, [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]], et al.]
*** 2011.02.18 / [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]] - have sent question to [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] about it
** 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:
*** update codebase to appropriate oor install code
**** The consensus is that we should use a uniform language in each component to make it easier for people to contribute code and add extensions.
**** customize banner/logo
**** customize IPR statement
**** re-establish categories - ref. [http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/oor-dev/2011-02/msg00012.html MikeDean's input]
**** other?
*** installation - ETA of updated OOR (v ? )

5. '''Funding progress:'''
* Gatekeeping specifies the a set of minimal requirements that any ontology within the OOR has to meet. The latter are intended to enable the users of the OOR to find quickly ontologies that fit their needs; the criteria are not supposed to ensure the quality of the ontologies.
** Each OOR instance declares what ontology languages it supports.
** Every OOR instance MUST support RDFS.
*** This is required because the metadata is expressed in OMV.
*** OMV is written in OWL, but it may be sufficient to require only RDFS. This needs to be investigated.
** Other ontology languages MAY be supported.
** For each metadata attribute, it will be specified whether it is required or optional.
*** It MUST be specified whether the ontology is available (or to be available in the future).
*** The ontology language MUST be specified.
*** Other attributes will be handled offline by [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]] based on the OMV specification.
** An ontology must satisfy other requirements depending on the ontology language.
*** Syntax checking is always required.
*** Consistency checking is required with some time limit.

Abstract

As a result of the two OOR Architecture and API panel sessions back in Oct & Nov-2010, we have been exposed to a large number of architecture and API candidates for ontology repositories. We have had requirements for the OOR, at least in broad outline form, since the Ontology Summit 2008. We have been running an OOR sandbox based on BioPortal. Most recently, we have forked from the BioPortal code base with the intention of proceeding separately with the development of a reference implementation.

At this series of meetings, we are going through the process of producing the actual OOR specification. It will be run as a workshop where the straw man proposal will be discussed and modified as needed.

The various architectures and APIs for ontology repositories presented for consideration are available at OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture

Here is the straw man architecture: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03

In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from BioPortal, which is not entirely compatible with the straw man architecture, but furnishes a starting point. This API will also be discussed and modified as needed.

Here is the API expressed in WSDL: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORService.wsdl

Here is the API expressed in Java: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/kenb/oor/OORI.java

Finally, we need to agree on a plan for completing the development of the specification.

Here is the proposed organizing plan: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/GettingOrganized

We encourage all participants to update your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood.

The following are relevant prior meetings:

Agenda & Proceedings

Since we did not have a quorum, it was decided (by the three who were in attendance) to postpone the workshop. We spend some time updating one another on latest relevant developments in the OOR-related world and then adjourned the meeting.

or more participants ( ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2011_07_08#nid2VNQ )

anonymous morphed into Todd Schneider

Todd Schneider: I concur with Peter's suggestion (and I'm very tired)

Ken Baclawski: The new UI code has been checked in. The sandbox and source code are now consistent.

Ken Baclawski: The ontology categories have not yet been updated. This will be handled soon.

Peter P. Yim: OOR sandbox url: http://sandbox.oor.net/ (or http://oor-01.cim3.net/ )

Peter P. Yim: we need to revisit meeting times ... and also find out if we want to meet

much at all in August because of the summer

Peter P. Yim: REMINDER: important OOR team meeting next Friday 2011_08_05 ... don't miss it!

Peter P. Yim: -- session ended 6:55am PDT --

The agenda below was not covered during the call!

1. Meeting called to order:

  • ______ took the chair and welcome everyone
  • ______ volunteered to keep a record of the proceedings
  • review and adopt agenda

2. Roll Call & Adoption of last meeting's minutes:

  • review of agenda

3. Key items for review and discussion today:

  • Announcements and Urgent Matters:
  • Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s)
  • from 2011.06.17 - Michael Grüninger will examine the OMV to determine which attributes are required and which are optional.
  • from 2011.06.17 - Ken Baclawski will send KEEPER (the gatekeeping software) to Todd Schneider who will generate the UML.
  • "OOR Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VII:" (Archives)

... items below are mostly from the previous workshop, and will be updated as this session progresses.

  • Gatekeeping specifies the a set of minimal requirements that any ontology within the OOR has to meet. The latter are intended to enable the users of the OOR to find quickly ontologies that fit their needs; the criteria are not supposed to ensure the quality of the ontologies.
    • Each OOR instance declares what ontology languages it supports.
    • Every OOR instance MUST support RDFS.
      • This is required because the metadata is expressed in OMV.
      • OMV is written in OWL, but it may be sufficient to require only RDFS. This needs to be investigated.
    • Other ontology languages MAY be supported.
    • For each metadata attribute, it will be specified whether it is required or optional.
      • It MUST be specified whether the ontology is available (or to be available in the future).
      • The ontology language MUST be specified.
      • Other attributes will be handled offline by Michael Grüninger based on the OMV specification.
    • An ontology must satisfy other requirements depending on the ontology language.
      • Syntax checking is always required.
      • Consistency checking is required with some time limit.
