Agenda

OBOE

  • Finalize structure so can begin publication, process, and extension processes
    • TREE proposal
    • URL
    • OBOE guide
  • Focus will be directed mainly at the Measurement Standard/Units region of the ontology
    • We need to come to a concensus about how we are going to represent units for quantitative and qualitative/continuous and discrete unit types

Extension ontologies

  • Produce a draft convention for engineering extension ontologies
    • Extension points: Entity, Characteristic, Measurement Standard, and Context
    • Evaluation process

Versioning and backward compadibility issues

  • E.g., OBOE's constant structural changes have made it hard to create extension ontologies

Data summarization

  • Demostration of summarization capabilities enabled by OBOE

Operation over observations and measurements

  • Demonstration of compatibility and conversion using OBOE
  • Flush out all function necessary for simple data merge

Storing annotations

  • Discussion of ways to store OBOE data annotations
    • EML extension/new module
    • Short term versus long term considerations
