DAIS-WG Telcon - Monday 19th February 2007 ------------------------------------------ Chair : Dave Pearson Note taker: Mario Antonioletti Attendees: Dave Pearson, Oracle Mario Antonioletti, EPCC Isao Kojima, AIST Said Mirza Pahlevi, AIST Agenda ------ - Progress - Feedback - Scenarios - Recruiting additional participants - AOB Actions: New Actions ----------- [MAA] Ask Miguel if he is going to attend the DIALOGUE Meeting for a face-to-face meeting with the AIST folks. [Miguel, Isao, Mirza] come up with a list of inconsistencies in terminology across the RDF specs. [Pearson] Get Miguel to nominate someone to talk at OGF20 about the RDF(S) Ontology Access work. Completed Actions ----------------- [DP] Propose a telcon to raise awareness of this work about 2 weeks after OGF19 where a number of external parties are invited. Done. [All] Promote DAIS session to OGF19 attendees Done. +--- o OGF19 Had about 12 people at the session. Some new faces, some old faces. Did not get much engagement from the session. Ohio folks said they were going to implement the DAIX specs. o Progress of specifications Miguel could not attend this call but sent an update of the RDF(S) Ontology Access work: http://www.ogf.org/pipermail/dais-wg/2007-February/000193.html AIST have been updating their RDF specification but have not put up a new version of their document on Grid Forge - hope to do this within two weeks. o Feedback No feedback. o Scenarios AIST plan extend the schema in their document. Looking at another scenario using resource discovery with MDS. Hope to draw people in through this to explore their specification. Someone joined the DAIS group (student in China) interested in the semantic work to whom Dave replied and cc'ed the others - Dave wondered whether that person had been in contact. Dave will look to see if he can find the email again and forward to folks again. o Recruiting additional participants AIST hoped to use the DIALOGUE meeting as a small face-to-face meeting but Miguel was not sure whether he would be able to attend. Mario to find out. Once the documents have been updated with Scenario Dave Pearson will ask Dave de Roure to bring this up at W3C. Should complete the documents and ask Dave de Roure to circulate in W3C: e.g., these docs have been developed in DAIS ... and then ask specific questions as to whether this is of interest to W3C? Does W3C want to participate? Can they provide scenarios ... use this to try to gauge the level of support .... However, before doing this it would be quite important to align the terminology across both documents - folks were hoping to look at this a the DIALOGUE meeting. There is no list of the differences in the terminologies as yet - need to do this. AIST will try to do this. Wait to get W3C involved after terminology differences have been reconciled - this will happen after the DIALOGUE meeting. o AOB OGF20 scheduling - Dave Pearson will put a request for a single 90 minute session. There should be a large European attendance so we could try to get engagement from these. Need to ask Miguel, who will not be present, as to who could present on his behalf. +--- DONM: At some point in mid-March. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Mario Antonioletti:EPCC,JCMB,The King's Buildings,Edinburgh EH9 3JZ. | |Tel:0131 650 5141|mario@epcc.ed.ac.uk|http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/~mario/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
