+ !!! Agenda
+ ! Priority levels: (''1'') High, (''2'') Medium, (''3'') Low
+
+ !! Wednesday TODO:
+ * Discuss annotation GUI
+ ** Kepler or Morpho?
+ ** Should we move forward creating Kepler actor for "sensible" summarisation without annotation GUI
+
+ !! OBOE (''1'')
+ * Finalize structure so can begin publication, process, and extension processes [PRETTY MUCH DONE]
+ ** TREE proposal
+ ** URL
+ ** OBOE guide
+ * Focus will be directed mainly at the Measurement Standard/Units region of the ontology [DONE]
+ ** We need to come to a concensus about how we are going to represent units for quantitative and qualitative/continuous and discrete unit types [DONE]
+ * Add copyright/licence (GPL)/restrictions in to OWL ontologies metadata field; enter version IDs.
+ ** Licence file goes in folder -- get from Morpho
+ ** Copy right statement in OWL file -- see Morpho documents (GPL)
+ ** CVS IDs
+
+ __Action items:__\\
+ Steps: 1. Implement changes in OWL; 2. Upload to URL; 3. Work on illustraive examples; 4. Draft guide; 5. Submit TREE porposal; 6. Decide name for ontology; \\
+ By who: Josh, with help from Shawn\\
+ By when: End of August\\
+
+ !! Extension ontologies (''1'')
+ * Produce a draft convention for engineering extension ontologies
+ ** Extension points: Entity, Characteristic, Measurement Standard, and Context
+ ** Evaluation process
+ * Producing foundational controlled vocabularies
+ ** Methods (e.g., text parsing)
+ ** Browsing (e.g., online thesaurus-type browsing)
+ * Evaluation and filling-in of foundational controlled vocabulary
+ ** E.g., public wikipedia-like interface for ecologists to add/edit/debate ecological concepts and relationships
+ __Action items:__\\
+ Steps: 1. Produce SEEK set of high-level extesion ontologies, primarily for illustrative purposes; 2. Write set of instructions/rules for creating extension ontologies for other groups/initiatives.\\
+ By who: Josh\\
+ By when: End of September\\
+
+ !! Representing annotations (''1'')
+ * Discussion of ways to store OBOE data annotations
+ ** EML extension/new module
+ ** Short term versus long term considerations
+ __Action items:__\\
+ Steps: 1. Decide on syntax/language for annotation; 2. Develop GUI for annotation; 3. Decide where/how annotation syntax will be saved\\
+ By who: Shawn, with help from Josh\\
+ By when: End of September\\
+
+ !! Versioning and backward compatibility issues (''2'')
+ * E.g., OBOE's constant structural changes have made it hard to create extension ontologies
