Here are the draft minutes of the teleconference held 3/14/03.  Let me know if you have any corrections you would like to have made.

Minutes: Simile PI Telecon 3/14/03

Attending:

Mick Bass,
Mark Butler,
Eric Miller,
MacKenzie Smith,
Rob Tansley,
David Karger,
Kevin Smathers

Agenda:

1.  DSpace History System Statement of Work

Propose Simile work be done fixed cost:

Jason Kinner proposed to fill contract 3-4m SOW items.

General agreement to have Jason work on the contract.  

Mick and David to generate the PO, need to attach justification for contractor.

Mick to initiate process with David and Lissa re documentation

2. Immediate next steps for Simile

Need: 
  Use cases and project defn
  History started
  Initial design discussions
  Architectural alternatives
  Cast potential implementation paths into specific work
  Divide into specific work content for MacKenzie, Karger, Miller posts

  Tansley, Butler, Bass proposed this timeline

  Mark and Mick to take discussions on use cases -> reviewable doc
  Due mid next week.

  History system procurement being started up.  Karger and Bass leading.

  Use case doc review next Friday, this meeting.  All to prepare.

  Design workshop to occur in Bristol: 
     - Initial conversations about alternatives for implementation
     - Genesis use?
     - Karger's Haystack stuff
     - Plus use cases
  => write up alternatives with first read on concensus - publish
  to http://web.mit.edu/simile
  Use April 4 conf call to discuss alternatives.
  
  May write strawman position descriptions re each proposal
  May slip to April 15 instead if orgs can't follow timeline.

  Mid to late April get job postings up, start work by begin July.

  Q: What do PIs need to provide to make design workshop successful?

  A: prompt response to queries re use cases & insights or refs you
  think we should be considering re architecture in light of use 
  cases.

  Mark: Want contribution so that we get shared ownership.  Unfortunate
  that PIs aren't participating in design workshop directly.

  Mark: Probably iterative process -- need to cycle around through
  use cases, design, clarification, redesign.  Will need to get full
  group together.

  Mick: Agree re iterative.  Mid to late April workshop in Cambridge
  seems reasonable.

  <David joins>

  Rob: Sounding boards before workshop to get a few positions on the
  table, need something more than a blank worksheet.  

  Mick: Workshop is to move from blank sheet to set of questions that
  we can respond to as PIs

  Eric: Propose 9th-10th of April 

  Mick: ok.

  Kevin: Will be at DOCsec in Baltimore 7-10th

  Mick: Need several sessions of 90m to 2h each. (one 4hrs slot)

  Mick: Proposal: Wed. 9th lunch@noon, 1-6pm working meeting.  
  
  Kevin to report on availability.  Fallback 1-5pm Thu 10th.

3. Miscellaneous:

  Future times for telecons in question.  All PIs are not 
  available at any time for Thu or Fri.  Need to either move
  to another day or deconflict -- try Thu, Fri with iteration.
  Action: Dave, MacKenzie, Eric to unconstrain Th/Fr
  availability where possible, and resubmit to Mick.

  Mick:  Conference presentation submission, request comments
  if we have any.

  Request David consider student to Bristol wrt design workshop

  David: Please explain goals of workshop

  Mark: Communicate use-cases to people so that they can plan ahead
  and get involved in design

  Dennis to sit down with Genesis, and explore Haystack as a use
  case for Genesis.  

  David:  Could either send Dennis or David Huyn or Nick Matsakis;
  need info re: workshop to decide which/whether to send. 

  Mark, Mick (and Kevin) action: inform re flavor of sessions
  so that David & MacKenzie can id people appropriate.

  Mark: May be rushing workshop; need use-case data to feed into
  workshop.

  ?: Not an analytical design doc, but id of dependencies on external
  projects.  

  Workshop to remain as is until Mark and Mick can propose sessions,
  desired outcomes.

  Eric: Barbara Attilic -- Virtual International Authority File --
  Barbara considers Davids ideas applicable to VIAF; VIAF aplicable
  to SemWeb.  300k records VIAF test app is in place (phase 1) and
  useing OAI to sync repositories.  Phase 4 will link 
  authorities on the web.  Personal names, corporate names, geo
  context, etc.  

  Prototype vocabs as classifications for articles that they plan
  to purchase

  Targeting use cases as putting up name/authority files or subject
  classification systems so that others can map their data into it.
  VIAF is applicable to that use.

  Deutsche Bibliotek is interested in this as well.

  If we get to integrating lookup services, and a testbed such as
  Sloan to see how it can be done, then VIAF is an applicable use.

  Barbara is very interested in getting Libraries integrated into
  the SemWeb.

  OCLC is only newly involved, but LOC has been working on this for
  past week.

  Stumbling block is working with three major library systems... but
  as this progresses Barbara expects to put up page on LOC site.
  Early ppt presentations available -- but later presentations a bit
  more promising.

  Action: Eric to contact Barbara, seek permission to redistribute
  appropriate materials to SIMILE team and/or to www-rdf-dspace@w3.org
  as appropriate.

  General agreement to use www-rdf-dspace@w3.org mailing list for
  publicly-accessible simile discussions, as well as general
  RDF/DSpace/Libraries topics.

  Eric: Generally sees need for recipes or guidelines for other groups 
  to webify their data for better integration with other peoples systems.
