+ * Description of current ontologies (Rich)
+ * GrOWL (Serguei, Rich)
+ * Annotate-fest
+ ** Example GARP (IPCC) [see data and metadata|http://metacat.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/servlet/metacat?action=read&qformat=knb&docid=dpennington.16.2]

+ * GUI Design and Issues
+ ** Search interfaces
+ ** Annotation/Semantic registration
+ ** Simple ontology browsing / selection
+ ** Domain-aware ontology interaction
+ ** GrOWL integration into Kepler
+ * General Discussion
+ ** Incorporating existing ontologies, vocabularies
+ ** What's missing ... how to get to the terms/phrases of scientists ... how to bridge this gap
+ * Priorities
+ * Goals
+
+
+ ! Notes
+
+ * Mark introduction
+ ** KR Issues:
+ *** KR used by SMS, and SMS sits between EcoGrid and Kepler
+ *** Examine, evaluate, and test a number of existing ontologies in CVS (R. Williams)
+ **** update on status; evaluate utility; determine where to go from here
+ *** challenges and approaches in creating and visualizing ontologies
+ **** growl -- intended audience, utility, demo
+ **** concept maps -> OWL
+ *** KR in Kepler (interface issues)
+ **** ontology-assisted search; semantic annotation drawing from ontology repository, propagating these annotations; KR assisting SMS in EcoGrid for automated data integration (EML and more)
+ *** How ontologies used in kepler
+ **** describe actors
+
+ * Rich Williams on Ontologies
+ ** Some developed, some contain place-holders
+ ** Looking at MeasurementBase.owl
+ *** EcoOntThing ... these are items that can have names (hasName)
+ *** basic terminology: Class (concept), Property (attribute, role, slot), Individual (instance), Value (like a string value)
+ *** subclasses of eco ont thing ...
+ **** NamedThing -- those things that have names
+ **** Composites: composed of parts
+ ***** Exclusive part-wholes
+ **** Measurements
+ ***** Units, Dimensions, DerivedUnits, SIUnits
+ ***** Observation
+ ****** item measured, spatial context, temporal context, measurement procedure
+ ***** experiments, observations, observation collections, observation aggregrates
+ ** Ecological Concepts
+ *** Ecological Entities > Abiotic Entities > ... etc.
+ *** Taxonomic groups
+ *** Biodiversity, traits, etc.
+
+ * Serguei Krivov
+ ** GrOWL demo ...
