In case anyone gets in trouble, please try to call the phone numbers instead (e.g. from your phone, skype-out, google-voice, etc.) Attendees: AliHashemi, AmandaVizedom, AnatolyLevenchuk, ArturoSanchez, AstridDuqueRamos, BobSmith, BobbinTeegarden, DavidWhitten, DennisWisnosky, DjokoSayogo, DougFoxvog, ElisaKendall, EricChan, FrancescaQuattri, FabianNeuhaus, JamesMichaelis, JeffBraswell, JoanneLuciano, JoelBender, KenBaclawski, LeoObrst, MariaPovedaVillalon, MatthewWest, MichaelDenny, MichaelGruninger, MikeBennett, MikeDean, MikeRiben, NicolauDePaula, PeterYim, SamirTartir, SteveRay, TillMossakowski, . == Proceedings: == . [9:30] MariaPovedaVillalon morphed into MariaPovedaVillalon [9:34] AmandaVizedom: In case it isn't just me: the slide links accompanying the full Panelist/Briefings descriptions all worked for me, but not all of the links under "Prepared presentation material (slides)" did. [9:35] JoanneLuciano: i lost sound [9:36] PeterYim: @Joanne - can you try calling into the phone line, please [9:37] JoanneLuciano: we're back in (had to dial - skype flaky) [9:41] JoelBender: @Peter - I'm having a hell of a mess getting connected - sorry - [9:42] PeterYim: @Joel - skype has been problematic lately (in the US) can you try calling into the phone line, please [9:42] PeterYim: ... see above note (right above "Proceedings") [9:52] JoelBender: @Peter - I think I'm in [9:57] PeterYim: @Joel - great! [9:35] PeterYim: == MikeDean opens the session on behalf of the co-chairs ... see: the [0-Chair] slides [9:35] anonymous1 morphed into DougFoxvog [9:35] anonymous morphed into BobbinTeegarden [9:36] anonymous morphed into ElisaKendall [9:38] anonymous1 morphed into DjokoSayogo [9:38] anonymous morphed into JeffBraswell [9:41] PeterYim: == AmandaVizedom presenting ... see: the [ HC-05-Vizedom ] slides [9:41] anonymous1 morphed into NicolauDePaula [9:43] JoanneLuciano: @Amanda - may want to use JamesMichaelis's provenance work (see our GOEF presentation) later or contact him directly [9:56] AmandaVizedom: @Joanne - noted. [9:47] DougFoxvog: I find this Saturday & Sunday a very awkward time for a Hackathon, as (at least for me) this is a weekend that family gets together. I might be able to handle Sat. morning. [9:49] DougFoxvog: I'll put together a minimal submission, Amanda. [9:51] AmandaVizedom: @doug - understood. Whatever time you can make would be appreciated! [9:49] MatthewWest: @Amanda: I won't have time to participate in real time, but I would be interested to take a look at and review the conceptual ontology you produce. [9:53] AmandaVizedom: Matthew, that's great. We will have it up publicly at the end of day 1. [9:52] DavidWhitten: Amanda, could you clarify again the mechanics of your Hackathon? Is it an in-person one, or by-phone-conference, or ??? [9:55] AmandaVizedom: Oh, sorry Dave - it is remote, using a combination of tools - starting with an open webcast using ontolog / summit channels, then moving to some combination of slide share/ chat/ file sharing support that works for all participants (e.g., Google+ Hangout is an option). [9:57] PeterYim: @DavidWhitten - there will be a presentation on process and schedule details later in this session (after all the project intros) [9:43] PeterYim: @MikeDean - we still have about 10 people on the call who are not on the chat ... please prompt them when you have a chance (in between speakers) [9:48] JoanneLuciano: How much time to i/we have to present (GOEF)? [9:48] MikeDean: @Joanne 8 minutes [9:48] JoanneLuciano: thanks Mike. [10:01] ArturoSanchez: @AmandaVizedom: Sorry if you have discussed this already ... have you decided on formalisms/languages/tools that will be used to express the conceptual models? ... (You just mentioned briefly that ... but if you can elaborate a little that would be great. Thanks!) [10:06] AmandaVizedom: @Arturo - Not yet committed, but here are some considerations: I'd like to be able to confer with all participants re: comfort and access. flexible graphical tools may work best. I don't want to pre-commit to language of formal model, so the graphical OWL viewers are probably not optimal. If we go graphical, we may deal with the difficulty of multidimensional visualization by having multiple graphs, making explicit where/how they connect. [10:07] AliHashemi: @Amanda and Arturo - I think we're also aiming to be able to at least annotate some of the output of the current summit with the vocabulary that is developed as a result of ontology of ontology evaluation hackathon [10:07] AliHashemi: So, I would imagine that some subset of it will be realized on the PSMW [10:08] AmandaVizedom: @Ali - thanks for pointing out, yes. Some of that will, I hope, happen through use our outputs in the summit PSMW [10:13] AliHashemi: @Amanda, but yes, fully on board that we should put off the formal representation until we have a better understanding of what we can model informally. [10:47] AmandaVizedom: Post-note re: something I didn't make clear in the HC-05 presentation -- The requirements gathering is done partly to feed the model building, but also to practice what we preach -- requirements as basis of evaluation. It is my intention to do, and document, evaluation of the resulting ontology. Specific will be based on (a) requirements gathered, and (b) tools available for the KR language we use. [10:50] AmandaVizedom: (what I just described may not fit within hackathon weekend, however) [9:50] PeterYim: == AnatolyLevenchuk presenting ... see: the [ HC-06-Levenchuk-Agroskin ] slides [10:00] PeterYim: @anonymous - please click on "settings" (top center) and morph from "anonymous" to your RealName (in WikiWord format) ... many thanks [10:04] PeterYim: == JoanneLuciano presenting ... see: the [ HC-02-Luciano ] slides [10:13] PeterYim: == AliHashemi presenting ... see: the [ HC-04a-Hashemi-Vegetti ] slides [10:15] PeterYim: ICOM : Integrated Collaboration Object Model (correction - ref. slide#2) ... [slides already updated. --ppy] [10:20] DavidWhitten: I assume aTrackCommunitInput Space on slide 9 should be aTrackCommunityInput Space ... [slides already updated. --ppy] [10:29] AliHashemi: @David, yes, thanks for catching the typo [10:21] anonymous1 morphed into FrancescaQuattri [10:23] ArturoSanchez: @AliHashemi: If I understand what you are saying correctly: the OntologPSMW is an application of PSMW ... so which ontology will your project evaluate the application ontology (associated with OntologPSMW) or the "foundational ontology" (the one associated with PSMW)? Thanks! [10:27] AliHashemi: @Arturo - I'm participating on two distinct projects, with one (the website) hoping to use the results of the other (Ontology of Ontology Evaluation). What I just presented was with the website hat on. They're distinct projects. Does this answer your question? [10:24] PeterYim: @Arturo - some answers to your question coming up in the next (KenBaclawski's) presentation [10:25] PeterYim: == KenBaclawski presenting ... see: the [ HC-04b-Baclawski ] slides [10:25] ArturoSanchez: @Peter: Thanks! [10:41] ArturoSanchez: @KenBaclawski: the web pages that are generated, are they static pages only? (I was wondering if the translator will play a role akin to that of JSP, ASP, etc.) [10:55] KenBaclawski: @Arturo: The generated web pages have behavior associated with them. The form pages, for example, have input boxes and checklists. The template pages define semantic properties that are used by other pages, such as the forms that use the template. [10:58] ArturoSanchez: @KenBaclawski: Thanks! ... I was wondering if the ontology and associated translator represent an alternative to more complex frameworks such as JEE or ASP.NET ... [10:59] ArturoSanchez: @KenBaclawski: (based on just HTML5 ... for instance) [11:05] KenBaclawski: @Arturo: Wikis in general are an alternative to the more complex frameworks. Of course, PSMW does not support all of the features of the other frameworks, but it is a lot simpler and has support for RDF triples. [11:11] ArturoSanchez: @KenBaclawski: Yes, I agree ... Thanks [10:54] DavidWhitten: As I understand it Purple Numbers provide a fine-grain reference down to a paragraph level rather than just to a page level. Does that mean that URLs on PSMW include a purple number as a part of the URL reference? [added-later] PeterYim: @DavidWhitten: you are correct, PSMW supports PurpleNumbers and will feature that as a part of the URL reference [10:31] PeterYim: == JoelBender presenting ... see: the [ HC-01-Bender ] slides [10:40] ArturoSanchez: @JoelBender: slide 7 you said you are mapping to .NET types? [10:51] JoelBender: @Arturo - no, these are not .NET types, they have similar characteristics, and there are BACnet stack implementations that use .NET, but there is nothing in the standard that describes its components using .NET terminology. [10:42] JeffBraswell: Joel -- side note: doesn't IPV6 address some of the component/device addressing issue ? [10:48] JoelBender: @Jeff - not really, there is very little expectation that very small, power and bandwidth constrained devices will be able to implement an IPv6 stack. It does help with scale, in theory there could be a lot more devices that are considered "peers" and and communicate directly to each other, but in practice there isn't enough experience with it to know. [10:43] AmandaVizedom: @Joel: re: Network of things issues - Indeed, ontologized BACnet could, possibly, enable such folks to take advantage of the substantial work on semantic sensor networks, etc. [10:55] ArturoSanchez: @JoelBender: thanks ... so, have you defined a formalism that defines these types, using which mappings can be built to various platforms? (For instance, this would enable the development of applications that read information generated by sensors in the building, which target specific operating systems) [11:01] JoelBender: @Arturo - it is up to the library developer to understand how to present BACnet stuff (objects, properties and services) to the application developer which is going to be platform specific. For example, there are libraries in C for embedded systems development, I have authored an open-source library in Python, there is another in Java (someplace), and there are commercial libraries for Windows developers. [11:05] DougFoxvog: @Arturo: SUMO has an ontology for features and functions of web pages . [11:05] ArturoSanchez: @DougFoxvog: thanks ... [11:06] JoelBender: @Arturo - there is a portion of the standard called "web services" which is SOAP, which is as close to an API that is in the standard. Believe it or not, that web services API is only loosely bound to the objects and properties in the rest of the standard, for political reasons - there was pressure to get something published because the committee was battling the noosphere with other organizations. [11:08] ArturoSanchez: @JoelBender: Yes, I can imagine that ... anyway, the problem of interconnecting heterogeneous representations of data types is of course well known (e.g., XDR from--the then--Sun Microsystems, and more recently JVM and CLI). So, I was wondering if some of this knowledge was reused in your ptoject. [11:10] JoelBender: @ArturoSanchez: That is compounded by the problem that BACnet defines data types that don't map well into anything - specifically Date and Time which can contain wildcard values used for scheduling. [11:12] ArturoSanchez: @JoelBender: Thanks ... [10:43] PeterYim: == MikeBennett presenting ... see: the [ HC-03-Bennett ] slides [10:44] DavidWhitten: What does FIBO stand for? [10:45] JeffBraswell: Financial Industry Business Ontology [10:49] MichaelGruninger: I need to leave now -- all of these projects are fantastic! I'm really looking forward to the results. [10:50] DougFoxvog: Re OOPS! Pitfall #13 (Slide 7). Depending on one's model, one may want inverse relations -- or wish not to have inverse relationships because they provide two different ways to make the same statement. [10:54] MariaPovedaVillalon: @DougFoxvog, yes, that's is why we do not call the pitfalls "errors" they are not always. It is just meant to "remind" developers that they might have forgotten to include an inverse, if they want to, otherwise, they can just ignore some output items. Indeed in the RESTful WebService one can choose which pitfalls you want to check [10:54] MariaPovedaVillalon: also we are working in that selection in the online application [11:01] DougFoxvog: @Maria: In the case that your policy is NOT to have inverse relationships, having them would be a pitfall which could be added to OOPS!. Perhaps the user could inform the tool of such choices. [11:04] MariaPovedaVillalon: @doug thanks for the idea, for my To-Do list... [11:05] MikeBennett: @Doug that sounds like a good area for us to explore. [11:04] PeterYim: == TillMossakowski presenting ... see: the [ HC-07-Mossakowski ] slides [11:12] PeterYim: TillMossakowski: errata on slide#4 - "github.com" (not "github.org") ... [link will automatically redirect, though. --ppy] [11:10] MatthewWest: Sorry, I have to go now. [11:10] PeterYim: thanks, Matthew [11:13] PeterYim: == KenBaclawski presenting on behalf of the H-C co-champions ... see: the [ 1-Chair ] slides [11:12] JoanneLuciano: do we have a sense about whether our proposed hackathons will be viable? i see only a few people signed up to help and many many of us looking for help. [11:14] JoanneLuciano: BTW, I just posted info about the hackathon on the public-sem-hclsig mailing list [11:15] JeffBraswell: @Joanne I'm liking 'hackathon' :) [11:16] JeffBraswell: But I'm thinking "ontothon" [11:19] JoanneLuciano: @Jeff LOL -- one can only hope! It's actually a pretty good term now that you bring my attention to it. [11:16] ArturoSanchez: @AllWhoKnow: sorry to ask ... will the Hackathon-Clinics take place this Saturday and Sunday (3/30/2013 and 3/31/13)? [11:19] AliHashemi: @Arturo, I believe these slides just answered you question [11:20] ArturoSanchez: @AliHashemi: Thanks, you just beat me to my "I stand corrected" statement! [11:19] AmandaVizedom: @Arturo - schedule here: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013_Hackathon_Clinics#nid3PG4 [11:21] ArturoSanchez: @Amanda: thank you, Amanda ... [11:19] AliHashemi: @Ken, I believe, "Saturday 11 April 2013 (Day-3)" should read "Saturday 13 April 2013 (Day-3)" [11:19] PeterYim: KenBaclawski: errata - slide#7 - Day-3 is 13-Apr-2013 (not Apr-11) ... [slides already updated. --ppy] [11:20] PeterYim: == Q&A and Open Discussion ... [11:22] DennisWisnosky: The FIBO project is to eval the potential of the tools, not to eval FIBO. Pls change your slide. [11:23] DavidWhitten: Joanne, where will you have cookies? GRIN [11:24] DougFoxvog: Everyone gets cookies! ... just look inside your web browser. 8)# [11:24] ArturoSanchez: @DougFoxvog: Ha! (good one!) [11:24] JoelBender: lol @ doug [11:30] DougFoxvog: This system does not correctly create my smiley: 8 )# -- it shows my beard. [11:24] DavidWhitten: They're just binary encoded, not chocolate chip encoded... [11:25] JoanneLuciano: Come to Rensselaer!!!! Troy, NY. I'll have beer afterwards too! [11:27] JoanneLuciano: @Doug -- I had made that comment to JamesMichaelis- for the online participants. For the local ones, cookies like the ones that can be measured in Kcal. [11:29] LeoObrst: Great planned efforts, folks! Good luck to all. [11:29] JoanneLuciano: WOO HOO!!!! (who was is that speaking?) ... [that was JoelBender saying that he plans to join in at the Ontology-of-Ontology-Evaluation and the GOEF-iChoose projects during the hackathon --ppy] [11:30] JoanneLuciano: Joel! What kind of cookies do you like? [11:30] JoelBender: me [11:30] AmandaVizedom: @Joel - we'd be happy to have you [11:30] JoelBender: heh - Ithaca isn't that far from Troy [11:30] MikeDean: Registration (either onsite or remote) is now open for the OntologySummit2013_Symposium at NIST - Thu & Fri May 2~3, 2013 (Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) - see details at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2013/WorkshopRegistration (registration for onsite attendance is mandatory ... so note the Apr-22 registration deadline!) [11:31] PeterYim: Again, soliciting help from everyone here: -- for software environment stewards and tool developers, please make sure you participate in the upcoming survey ---and help us get these colleagues of yours to respond to the survey too: http://ontolog-02.cim3.net/wiki/OntologySummit2013_Survey -- ... or provide us with pointers to stewards of relevant software tools/systems/environments so we can reach out to them [11:31] AliHashemi: thank you all. [11:31] SamirTartir: Thank you all. [11:31] FrancescaQuattri: remote participation great idea, thank you all [11:31] NicolauDePaula: Thank you all. [11:32] PeterYim: great session!
