** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: issues:  platform distribution/installation changes (being resolved)


* Is a common IDE good for us? Is Eclipse an optimal answer?
* Issues we could discuss at the Nov-29 joint NCBO-OOR session
** input from [[RayFergerson|Ray Fergerson]] & [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] (NCBO): - [[RayFergerson|Ray Fergerson]]: "Talked to [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] about Eclipse usage. We use the vanilla J2EE installation

to set breakpoints in your code. Probably any Eclipse user already knows
** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: which specific [http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ "WebTools" package](s) is [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] using
about it."
** [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: I would still hope aligning architecture and API and creating synergies would still be the main focus for that session
** input from [[CameronRoss|Cameron Ross]]: - "For what it's worth, I do believe that Eclipse is the right choice for a tooling platform to support [[BioPortal]] development."
** Discussion - 2011.11.08


* EricChan's views and some responses:
* Refine how we should move development forward from here
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: most of my comments will be in the form of questions
** MikeDean/2011.11.08: suggest starting a wiki page for [[OOR_DeveloperTools]] to share some of the experience and provide some consensus on tools to use  
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: assuming there will an svn to host the source code
** KenBaclawski/2011.11.08: it would be helpful to find out from [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] which specific [http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ "WebTools" package](s) he is using ... question for the Nov-29 session (if not sooner)  
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: yes, [[BioPortal]] is on an svn repository ... although there are talks about considering moving this to git.
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: is this an open source project under OOR, or under other more high profile projects (e.g. Apache, Eclipse, ...)?
*** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: OOR does have a svn repository going at semwebcentral; we'll probably run on our own (OOR initiative, rather than under other opensource projects)
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: are codes going to be contributed back to [[BioPortal]]
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: the [[BioPortal]] folks are receptive; but we will see when things are more mature
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: triple store may not be most optimal for OOR, a mysql may be more appropriate
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: I am torn on this; I believe this move by [[BioPortal]] is good. I know CL may be an issue, but maybe we can do some trick on indexing
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: as I see it, you are addressing 3 sets of users: (i) developers of the OOR system, (ii) those using OOR to host, manage and/or even edit their ontologies, and (iii) end users who will be applying the ontologies hosted on OOR
*** [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: we have developed use cases, and your user types are already included as actors in our use cases
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: how are we managing metadata? maybe the metadata can be in the triple store? I have not seen triple stores being used for big chunks of data
*** [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]: we will have different modules (based on different structures) for content that is in different constructs/languages ... that would be our "language modules"
**** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: it would be best if there is a "guideline on how to develop a language module" and the API for language module developers to plug into
*** Todd / Mike: most are already covered by the way [[BioPortal]] has implemented it; the outliers are Common Logic (CLIF) languages and Rules languages
*** [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Grüninger]]: the [[OntoIOp]] people are trying to provide something that would help tackle "heterogeneous" ontologies - allowing interactions between ontologies of different languages
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: the Sakai Project (http://sakaiproject.org/) learning management system (which started using jackrabbit) used a mysql backend quite successfully (in terms of scalability)
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: what are we using for indexing? (their tweak was to offload the indexing from JCR ...)
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: lucene is being used now
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: how about scalability issues if costly functions need to be performed at the server side (e.g. validation, inferencing)?
*** [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: currently, for things like validation, [[BioPortal]] does that in the background, and come back when it is done
** [[EricChan|Eric Chan]]: the OOR team will need a small team of "gatekeepers" to qualify and admit code contributions, in this open source software setting

== Proceedings: ==
 
[08:40] Eric S. Chan: dual track, bioportal release and OOR branch
 
[08:41] Eric S. Chan: subversion repository for OOR
 
[08:43] [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]: Mike, how decouple the indexing from the language representation?
 
[08:58] Eric S. Chan: the infrastructure will manage content and metadata
 
[08:59] Eric S. Chan: content may be persisted in some CMS with version control support
 
[08:59] Eric S. Chan: metadata may be triple store and Lucene indices
 
[09:03] Eric S. Chan: persistent layer is pluggable (a language module may provide a persistence mechanism)
 
[09:11] [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: OOR should allow for ontologies containing components in different languages
 
(e.g. OWL and RIF or OWL and Common Logic, like OWL Time). This also relates to views and modules.
 
[09:16] [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: It might be interesting to provide at least a SPARQL endpoint for Jackrabbit.
 
This could make a good student project.
 
[09:17] Eric S. Chan: bioportal provides background processing for validation (theorem proving),
 
OOR may define these processes as SOA services
 
[09:28] Eric S. Chan: E:\jaxb-ri-20110115\bin\xjc.bat schema-obh-xjc.xsd schema-obr.xsd -extension
 
[09:37] [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: It would help bootstrap development to create an OOR Developer Tools page with
 
links to JAXRS specifications, tools to generate client bindings, and (soon) results of
 
generating those bindings.

* The Joint NCBO-OOR session: OOR-Architecture-API IX - "NCBO-OOR architectural considerations and synergies" + "creating [[BioPortal]] Tabs" is now scheduled for Tue 2011.11.29; same time
** input from [[RayFergerson|Ray Fergerson]] & [[PaulAlexander|Paul Alexander]] (NCBO): "We also agree that it would be best, rather than scheduling a meeting now, that developers just install the "hello world" tab and get it up and
going. This is likely to lead to both narrow and broad questions. The
narrow ones Paul can handle in email and the broad ones may require either
a phone call or additional example code. We would rather this be a pull
system, where developers request information just in time, rather than a
push one where we try to push information out in the hopes that it will be
useful."
** '''Preparation for the Nov-29 session''': all developers are requested to have reviewed the [[BioPortal]] "tab" development criteria, and hopefully, has done a "hello world" tab, prior to this session.
