OBOE extensions / other ontologies

current status & open issues (Josh): - LTER Controlled Vocab - Collaborative (web-based) approach for extensions (e.g., Thinkcap) - What would the interface be - Complexity versus simplicity - Browsing/viewing ontologies - How to store/manage the ontologies - Additional Metadata - Reuse(cycle) existing ontologies (e.g., Rich Williams', existing ontologies?)

tasks: - finish up three different extension approaches - document and publish extensions - figure out additional extensions needed

3 Applications

current status: - semantic annotation interchange language - the oboe-web prototype - kepler tools

open issues: - interface design for oboe annotations - where should the oboe applications/demos live? (Kepler, Morhpo, Web, ...) - connecting up eml (metacat/morpho/kepler) and oboe - ontologies for annotating actor ports and annotation interface design (e.g., ontos based on oboe, simpe types?) - how should we extend the kepler tools, e.g., adding ontologies, using port annotations in search - overall KR/SMS architecture

tasks: - concrete demos showing advantages of KR/SMS - what tools do we want to work on in the next year - implementation plan (who will work on what ...)
