This is a regular OOR Team meeting. ... ''please refer also to proceedings from the last team meeting at [[OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_02_07]]''  
'''''Attention!''''' ... Please note start-time of the meeting, timing these couple of weeks is fairly tricky (especially for non-US participants) - as North America has gone into daylight saving time, Europe hasn't, and a lot of Asian countries don't do daylight saving at all!

* postmortem of the last couple of workshops (OOR-dev-VII & Metadata-VI)
At this "OOR Architecture & API" 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.  
** OOR-dev-VII - [[OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_02_28]]
** Metadata-VI - [[OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_03_06]]
* OOR: sandbox, devbox, socop-instance, colore, ncbo-appliance, ... status update
* planning and coordination on upcoming OOR events
* doing something at [[OntologySummit2012|Ontology Summit 2012]]
* Member activities updates
* action planning for "content drive" (getting people to upload ontologies)
* Getting us to a stage when we can run a OOR-production box
* ...  


== Agenda & Proceedings  ==
The various architectures and APIs for ontology repositories presented for consideration are available at [[OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture]]


'''[http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OpenOntologyRepository/MeetingsCalls/ Archives]:'''
Here is the status of the strawman architecture: [[OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03]]

In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from anearlier implementation [[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.

** 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)'' ...


* code development on an Eclipse IDE for all?
* Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s)


* Code repository - considering "git" or github?
* '''"OOR Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VIII:"''' ([http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/OpenOntologyRepository/OOR-Architecture/OOR-Architecture-API-workshop/ Archives])


* Getting us to a stage when we can run a OOR-production box ... what's still needed, ETA?
* 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.  


'''Member activities updates:'''
* Proposal for Partition of Components
** Presentation
*** A minimal presentation module with just search and workflow
*** Browse (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
*** Search (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
*** Mapping (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)

OpenOntologyRepository: Architecture & API Workshop-XI - Tue 2012_03_20

Attention! ... Please note start-time of the meeting, timing these couple of weeks is fairly tricky (especially for non-US participants) - as North America has gone into daylight saving time, Europe hasn't, and a lot of Asian countries don't do daylight saving at all!

Session Abstract & Resources

At this "OOR Architecture & API" 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 status of the strawman architecture: OpenOntologyRepository_Architecture/Candidate03

In addition, there is an API of the core services that was obtained from anearlier implementation 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.

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 Ideas

  • Discussion
    • the OOR Architecture
    • the OOR API
    • the Organizing Plan
    • moving from OOR sandbox to OOR production

Agenda & Proceedings

Archives:

1. Meeting called to order:

  • Peter P. Yim volunteered to keep a record of the proceedings
  • review and adopt agenda

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

  • see above
  • introduction of new members (as required)
  • review of agenda

3. Key items for review and discussion today:

  • Announcements and Urgent Matters:
    • ...

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

  • Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s)
  • "OOR Architecture & API Specification Development Workshop-VIII:" (Archives)
  • 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.
  • Proposal for Partition of Components
    • Presentation
      • A minimal presentation module with just search and workflow
      • Browse (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Search (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Mapping (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Recommender (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Annotator (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Resource Index (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)
      • Workflow Administration
      • OOR Instance Administration
      • Other windows
    • Workflow
      • Already developed, but needs to be documented
    • Registrar
      • A minimal registrar
    • Find
      • Initially adapt a SPARQL endpoint. Which one?
    • Inference
      • Initially a part of the SPARQL endpoint
      • Other inference engines
    • Persistence
      • Initially adapt 4Store
    • Administration
      • TBD
    • Federation
      • TBD

Consensus, Conclusions & Follow-up Actions:

  • Ken Baclawski: To deal with visualization of other ontology languages, there should be a visualization mapping mechanism (e.g., an automated way to extract the concepts and relationships from the ontology) that can use the existing visualization software or a visualization plugin capability that allows one to introduce an entirely new visualization.
