Notes

Welcome to the Interest Group!

Ontology License updates:

Ralph: Should VIVO have its own ontology? Or bring in the best pieces and then licensing become clear cut??

Mike: Table it for now. May be 2 to 5 year idea.

May be a good topic for the conference panel? Full spectrum -- reuse nothing, reuse everything (no ontology)

Mike: Work is to identify the license of each ontology.

Marijane: We cannot license the way we want if there is no existing license. +1

Violeta: Dublin Core metadata is responsible for BIBO. They have not responded yet for my questions.

Mike: We are using many ontologies. If one of them has restrictive license (and we are using a few terms), we could get rid of that ontology.

Identifier:

Mike: RDA report raised good points regarding what PID are and what kinds of them there are, all are mentioned in the document.

VIVO-1662 Issue:

https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/VIVO-1662?src=confmacro

Mike: If we have relationship with bibo group, we may work together to update bibo ontology.

Data issues: How much software should help the data managers. We have annotations that help software.

We mention in ontology that an entity is a string (and perhaps a language tag), and in annotation we suggest that it should be edited with an HTML editor. Graham considers annotations as suggestions.

Ontology management issues: Current process allows a committer and an ontologist to approve a domain ontology pull request.  Seems thin.

We are operating on good faith.  Other ontologists should be brought in.  Issues should be discussed with the interest group.

Brian:  We should finish the change process we drafted.

Mike:  Yes. We have scoring of issues and we have a draft process.  Need to socialize the process with the rest of the community, resulting in a recorded process.

Decision: cancel the pull request by closing it

Action items:

  1. Close the pull request

  2. Move the change process forward


  1. In Progress or Review Ontology Issues

Open Ontology Issues
