• Need a public announcement of release – Serm with attend to this

• Jim Logan suggested a change in TOB voting process (for releasing an ontology)

  • Todd suggested this idea (to speed up release) needs to be examined with respect to the current release process (e.g., conditional votes and changes they may incur)

1) Architecture TG – Formal review of normative documents

• Will Sobel quickly went through the four normative documents that should be reviewed

  • IOF Annotation Property Guide V2.3 , IRI Structure and Format V2.3 , Requirements for Creating Non-Normative Content (Rules, Propertychains) V1.0 , Requirements for Use of Non-IOF Ontologies V1.0

• Jim Logan asked what would change in the released documents

2) Key items, ideas, concerns that came up during or as a result of the face-to-face meeting in Arizona

• Ontologies of Qualities -

  • Todd said he his working with Thomas Hanke on this

    • Thomas ‘translated’ PATO work into OWL files

  • Where should these ontologies be ‘placed’ (among the other working groups or a new group)?

  • Serm asked whether an ‘Epic’ should be created to track this work?

    • Will Sobel and Evan Wallace will create the ‘Epic’ for the development of the IOF Quality ontologies

  • Melinda pointed us to IDO work on Units of Measure and Qualities - uom

  • Melinda suggested questions about IDO can be directed to Johan Klüwer (Johan.Wilhelm.Kluewer@dnv.com)

• Evan has a list of ‘items’

  • There was a discussion of ontologies that NIIMBL (Home - NIIMBL) may contribute to the IOF

    • It’s not clear how the IOF ‘processes’ or working groups will handle the ‘contributed’ ontologies

  • Participants from Additive manufacturing may have some ‘work’ that could be contributed

• Open Source DL/OWL reasoners

  • Todd suggested using the Ontolog Forum to publicize this deficiency

    • Todd will contact the Ontology Forum about this
