Date 7th February 2002. Total time: One hour and twenty minutes * Attendance: Present: Connolly, de Roo, Dean, Gibbins, Hayes, Heflin, Hellman, Klein, Lassila, McGuinness, Patel-Schneider, Sabbouh, Schreiber, Smith, Stanton, Stein, ter Horst, van Harmelen Regrets: Buswell, Carrol, Dale, Fensel, Finin, Hendler, Horrocks, Miller, Obrst, Volz * Agenda item: FTF meetings schedule. Next FTF is slated to take place 8th - 9th April (Monday and Tuesday) in Amsterdam. Third FTF will be 1st and 2nd of July, no location has yet been specified - Boston, Stanford and Bristol are the candidates. The date for the last ftf will be announced shortly. Planning is for end of September or beginning of October. Efforts are being made to conduct 2 in Europe and 2 in North America, with both coasts represented (the east coast has already been the site of the first ftf). Co-locating with other conferences is important for some many members, and getting to Europe for some residents of North America is difficult without such co-location. * Agenda item: Review of previous actions and the results to date. ACTION: Finin to complete use case on ubiq. comp - still to be done. ACTION: Buswell to complete design Use case - DONE. ACTION - Obrst to help find ontology partitioning - review and refine Req - DONE. ACTION - Pat Hayes to send Jeff a couple of sentences on referring to vs. committing to ontologies - DONE. ACTION: Tim Finin to send Jeff a pointer to the FIPA language req. document - DONE. ACTION - have unwritten parts in the D+O vs OWL document (Mike, Dan, Ian) - DONE. -- follow on ACTION - Mike D. to document what OWL reqs not covered by D+O, and what D+O features currently not used in addressing our reqs - promised to be done over next week ACTION Jim/Guus will send to mailing list a proposed list of documents/outputs expected of the working group (tied to calendar if possible) and ask people to express interests in particular w/respect to those issues - Due: Feb 14 * Next item: discussion of requirements document. Mostly complete. Ubiquitous computing use case is lacking in Heflin document. Should we cut and paste from original Web Services document, or can we do better? Ora volunteers to help with this, and will also speak with Tim about it. Frank in Amsterdam asked a question about merging results from Mike's document into this document. Some back and forth about our charter vis a vis RDF, which is a W3C standard, and D+O, which OWL is intended to replace, ensued. It was finally decided that everyone in the group will first be given an opportunity to read the documents and comments will be solicited. Milestones: Comments due by 13th February, taking into account that attendees at DAML conference may wish to discuss the comments. Even if one believes that the document is good as is, please send that as a comment. Content comments are to be posted to the group as a whole, spelling and grammar directly to authors. The target is to have publication within about a fortnight, 22nd February. * Next item: DAML+OIL vs. requirements. Document is unchanged since last week. Action Item: Document by next Wednesday to be revised in line with tele-con discussion on features and reqs. * Next item: OWL language development document promised by early next week (Tuesday) Analysis of requirements document and D+O document are needed for further work on language development - Dan volunteered to begin working on test cases and infrastructure, which was welcomed by all. * Next item: Layering of OWL on top of RDF. Full discussion of the layering issue delayed to next tele-con after people have had a chance to read the longer version. Peter and Dieter are both pleased with what they have produced, a pleasant surprise. It may become a conference paper as well as a note of the working group. * Due to the travelling surrounding the DAML conference, next week's tele-con is likely to be cancelled, and will include only editors. Decision on this matter to be sent to all members during the coming week.
