    <RalphS> scribenick: RalphS

    Daniel: I've talked with a couple of the groups I mentioned last
    meeting
    ... it's a good opportunity; there interest in contributing to the
    development of a standard they can use to distribute their
    terminologies on the Web
    ... they'd use SKOS if it meets all their needs
    ... they're currently using OWL
    ... how should we proceed to develop this use case?
    ... the WG could give them a strawman and ask for feedback

    Tom: what is the current state of their terminology?

    Daniel: they are currently expressing their relationships in OWL
    ... one group is using Protege frames but are planning to convert
    this to OWL

    Elisa: I have another similar opportunity; I have been asked by a
    group working on ISO 11179 to help them put this into OWL
    ... they already have a lot of it in UML
    ... and I have some tools to convert UML to OWL
    ... because their work is evolving we may have the opportunity to
    impact it
    ... Bruce Bargmeyer is my contact

    Tom: ISO 11179 is pretty big; it has 6 parts

    Elisa: parts 2 and 3 are relevant, part 3 is what I think is the
    focus

    Tom: this is a very interesting opportunity

    Daniel: this is connected to National Cancer Institute work and is a
    huge opportunity

    Elisa: see XMDR www.xmdr.org and look at latest UML and OWL versions
    ... though a bit out of sync with the document text
    ... they've recently sent me XMI stuff

    <TomB> [20]http://hpcrd.lbl.gov/SDM/XMDR/overview.html

      [20] http://hpcrd.lbl.gov/SDM/XMDR/overview.html

    -> [21]http://www.xmdr.org/ eXtended MetaData Registry Project

      [21] http://www.xmdr.org/

    Daniel: how much technical expertise is needed?

    Elisa: XMI is an XML serialiaztion of MOF, a subset of UML
    ... they've sent me both OWL and XMI; the OWL is OWL-lite
    ... also, Frank Olken is now at NSF; he was also involved in 11179

    <dlrubin> Link to ISO/IEC 11179:
    [22]http://metadata-standards.org/11179/

      [22] http://metadata-standards.org/11179/

    <TomB> RalphS: concern we might set too-high expectations re: SWD
    working group and 11179

    <TomB> Daniel: We use the use cases to drive evolution of SKOS -
    make sure it supports needs of other communities. Interest in 11179:
    is there stuff in there that should influence the evolution of SKOS?

    <scribe> scribenick: tomB

    TomB CABig - NCI Cancer Bioinformatics Grid - metadata for clinical
    trials uses 11179 for terminologies for data-capture purposes.
    Interoperability with SKOS would be great.
    ... Have ISO 11179 map to SKOS - make sure SKOS is compatible.

    <dlrubin> scribnick: Daniel

    Elisa: Any review on SKOS compatibility would be very helpful - even
    informal.

    <dlrubin> Elisa: any help in making skos compatible with iso 11179
    would be good

    <dlrubin> ACTION: Elisa to keep us posted as SKOS/iso 11179
    compatibility issue evolves [recorded in
    [23]http://www.w3.org/2006/10/31-swd-minutes.html#action07]

    <dlrubin> Ralph: there is already a working draft of skos

    RalphS: Looking for Alistair informal presentation earlier this
    year...

    <dlrubin> ...we should consider that to be the strawman

    RalphS: our task is to finish the SKOS WD...
    ... based on feedback from 11179 and others...

    ...the reason to to skos work in this WG, it's important to have OWL
    expertise involved

    ...it could appear that OWL and SKOS are trying to represent similar
    types of relationships

    ...we want to make sure there is enough expertise to understand what
    OWL subclassing and SKOS broader/narrower is doing

    ...people familar with OWL would be good to be involved in setting
    skos reqirements

    Elisa: we are still a smal group. Will there be more OWL best
    practices people

    Ralph: not necessarily. We have 15 people in the WG

    ...Mike is interested

    ...we may persuade him to stay involved

    Elisa: Deb has been travelling a lot...

    ...conf call conflict with rif call

    ...there are many people in Best Practices in the rif group

    Ralph: probably can't move the call later

    Elisa: Conflict with RIF call - SWD could potentially have more
    participants involved in RIF.

    <dlrubin> ACTION: Tom to discuss with Juus [recorded in
    [24]http://www.w3.org/2006/10/31-swd-minutes.html#action08]

    <RalphS> scribenick: dlrubin

    <TomB> Elisa: any day of the week at this time. Or move up one hour.

    Elisa: any day of the week is fine, preferably after 7am.

    Daniel: any day except Tues, preferably after 7am Pacific

    <RalphS> (elisa:7am == 7am US Pacific Time == 1500 UTC now)

    <ryager> I prefer to stay with the current time.

    <TomB> Daniel: same - any other day of the week. No earlier than
    7am.

    Seanb: likes this current time

    <TomB> Sean: likes this time. Could potentially change.

    berrueta: likes this time

    <TomB> Bernard: rearranged this week around this time.

    Rachel: prefer the current time

    <TomB> Rachel: prefer to stay with current.

short-term deliverables
