Fri+10+2010+Meeting

Fri, 10 2010

- Fabulous year end team lunch at the Grypth Sport Bar. -- Thank you Deb for picking up the tab this time :-). -- All team members should aim to do the same once they have graduated and found well-paying jobs. :-) -- Bison Burger was ordered by 3 people and is reccommended by at least one person (Huy)

- Hlomani and Mitchell gave an overview of the different ontology APIs, and how they fit together to form the larger ecosystem. -- [TODO] Huy to ask Deb for the conceptual diagram in her iPhone and post here.

- Mitchel discussed different (web-based) task management tools that could be used by the team -- Red Mine (Ruby On Railed-based) and Task Freak (PHP-based) were the best 2 candidates. -- Will start with Task Freak, and see how it handles. -- [TODO] Mitchell could put it up on a temp server and send url for team to start using early. -- [TODO] Huy to move it to hebb.socs.uoguelph.ca once he got the key to the Kingdom.

- Team discussed the requirements and rudimentary designs of the GUI components for doing system composition. -- [TODO] Sample workflows and possible screen mockups are to be produced to clarify requirements and aid design decisions.

- Mitchel discussed his idea for a paper -- A position paper describing the high-level knowledge architecture for ontology-driven system composition design: The different kinds of players and forces an ODSC system designer need to be aware of and/or take into consideration when designing an ODSC system. -- Deb made suggestions and gave green light. -- Mit and Hlomani to meet this holiday and champion this effort. -- Huy could be used as sounding board for uncovering implicit assumptions, etc.

- Next meeting: Fri, Jan 7 2011 @ 2PM.
