=== Session Abstract & Resources ===
 
The main subject for today's session is tabbing. We will be looking into the rationale of the [[BioPortal]] team's architectural decision to use "tabs" as the mechanism to add/remove functionality, and how code extensions "plugin" to their exisiting codebase. We will review issues that have been encountered, and attempt to make a disposition on how we shall approach this.
 
[[BioPortal]] "tab" implementation details (provided by PaulAlexander) are at: http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui
 
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.
 
* 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]]'''  
''please insert any additional items below (along with your name for follow-up purposes)''  


We encourage all participants to update your candidate contributions to ensure your ideas are known and understood.  
* code contributors to compare notes on "adding tabs"
* discussion on how we can continue to engage the other potential code contributors
* review our code development focus and direction, to make sure we stay relevant to external changes and standardization efforts (especially in light of recent trends in related work):
** "big data"
** Linked Open Data (LOD)
** graph-based search/computation
* [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: coordinate near-term and medium term OOR development efforts

3. '''Key items for review and discussion today:'''  
** understanding where the [[BioPortal]] folks come from ...
*** [[RayFergerson|Ray Fergerson]]: Unfortunately I cannot make this meeting. I can provide the background here though for the reasoning about using tabs as a code modification mechanism. ... This idea is inspired by the widely used tab extension mechanism in
Protege. The designer of that system suggested it to me. :-) ... The idea is that this mechanism allows the maximum amount of flexibility to end users while providing the minimum amount of coupling to existing software. You can do whatever you want on a tab and it will not affect the rest of the system. You can even replace existing tabs with new ones that do
similar things in different ways. It goes a long ways toward making your additions to the system independent of changes to the system that we make. Thus the "forking and merge problem" is almost entirely eliminated.
** related issues faced by OOR code contributors
** the OOR team's take and disposition


''... items below are mostly from the previous workshop, and will be updated as this session progresses.''
* '''code contributors to compare notes on "adding tabs"'''
** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: have not had a chance to do actual work, but did review PaulAlexander's updated documentation, which seems to be quite comprehensive now - see: http://palexander.posterous.com/extending-bioportals-rails-ui
** [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]]: Maximo's "Keeper" was in SOAP, while [[BioPortal]] web-services is RESTful  ... I (Ken) have code that can handle both SOAP and REST
*** Ken & Maximo will deploy that code to, in a sense, re-implement the despatch mechanism, which will be able to take care of this (REST vs. SOAP) problem ... the plan will be to have this code being independent of the [[BioPortal]] codebase


* Review of action item(s) from the previous meeting(s)
* '''discussion on how we can continue to engage the other potential code contributors'''
** possibilities -
*** [[ToddSchneider|Todd Schneider]]: tried, a while back, STIDS - tried to engage [[KathyLaskey|Kathy Laskey]]
*** [[TimDarr|Tim Darr]] - may have a resource in a month or so; will see
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: SOCoP - [[NaijunZhou|Naijun Zhou]] from UMD may have something to contribute; Mike will talk to him to explore possibilities


* 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.
* '''review our code development focus and direction, to make sure we stay relevant''' to external changes and standardization efforts (especially in light of recent trends in related work):
** Each OOR instance declares what ontology languages it supports.
** "big data"
** Every OOR instance MUST support RDFS.
** Linked Open Data (LOD)
*** This is required because the metadata is expressed in OMV.  
** graph-based search/computation
*** OMV is written in OWL, but it may be sufficient to require only RDFS. This needs to be investigated.  
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]] / [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: Related work:  OData, GData, Google Knowledge Graph, Cray - <nowiki>u[[RiKA]]</nowiki>, Neo4J
** Other ontology languages MAY be supported.  
**** OData (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Data_Protocol & http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-05/msg00056.html )
** For each metadata attribute, it will be specified whether it is required or optional.  
**** GData (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GData )
*** It MUST be specified whether the ontology is available (or to be available in the future).  
**** - ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-05/msg00028.html
*** The ontology language MUST be specified.  
**** Cray - <nowiki>u[[RiKA]]</nowiki> (Universal RDF Integration Knowledge Appliance) - see: http://www.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/2012-03-01/cray_parlays_supercomputing_technology_into_big_data_appliance.html
*** Other attributes will be handled offline by [[MichaelGruninger|Michael Gr&uuml;ninger]] based on the OMV specification.  
**** Neo4J - ref. thread: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2012-04/msg00086.html - [[DuaneNickull|Duane Nickull]] is organizing an Ontolog session on this
** An ontology must satisfy other requirements depending on the ontology language.
** [[User:KennethBaclawski|Ken Baclawski]] / [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]]: even a little reason, when applied to huge amount of data that touches a huge user-base, could make a lot of impact
*** Syntax checking is always required.  
** Possibilities:
*** Consistency checking is required with some time limit.  
*** [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: One approach is to export and/or ontologies to some of these new formats.  
*** [[PeterYim|Peter P. Yim]] / [[MikeDean|Mike Dean]]: OOR ontologies could become the lingua franca for mapping in various domains.  


* Proposal for Partition of Components
* '''coordinate near-term and medium term OOR development efforts'''
** Presentation
*** A minimal presentation module with just search and workflow
*** Browse (already in BioPortal-based sandbox)

    • Ken Baclawski: Maximo's "Keeper" was in SOAP, while BioPortal web-services is RESTful ... I (Ken) have code that can handle both SOAP and REST
      • Ken & Maximo will deploy that code to, in a sense, re-implement the despatch mechanism, which will be able to take care of this (REST vs. SOAP) problem ... the plan will be to have this code being independent of the BioPortal codebase
  • discussion on how we can continue to engage the other potential code contributors
  • coordinate near-term and medium term OOR development efforts
