Apologies: RS PL AR NA RMG

Due to lack of participants the meeting focused on metadata and WP4 roadmap.

CAG raised the question of ‘what mechanism will be used for tying user requirements into the architecture?’ This question was a result of a meeting with Steve Pettifer.

WP4 metadata roadmap

CAG remarks on roadmap:

Priorities 1. Requirements (Phil) 2. Registry; relationship to OGSA registry/BioMOBY central/UDDI. UTOPIA need a registry so we already have a user. (Phil) 3. Ontology server. 4. Annotation; using COHSE as browsing mechanism for logs. 5. Question: where do EBI service fit in?

Chris should be working on consolidation and clearing up. Requirements work should be a focus.

Risks Angus leaving and lack of work-force. May lose Phil and Chris to Hawaii in January (PSB2003)

It was agreed that plan is realistic and reasonable. More details and dates need to be added. Pro-forma for Plans was discussed, NS currently using Microsoft Project but not happy with it. EXCEL was suggested as an alternative.

Meeting feedback

BIOMOBY mention myGrid at both BOSC and I3C. Turbo Genomics (workflow specialists) and AVAKI (Philip Warner) are interested in working with us.

CAG noted cross project support and collaboration with some U.S people is would make a favourable addition to the end of project report. Technical discussion of UML and mapping with DAML/OIL concerns. Karl Kesselman has a resource model of this.

I3C meeting in San Diego, California in November will require a speaker to present on ontologies; all expenses paid by SUN. Will be asking someone to go.

All Hands Meeting.

The flyers and posters were discussed and content requirements for these.

Consolidated roadmap

Nick will have the 1st draft of this ready within next couple of weeks.

Finish. Next meeting: Monday 12th August 2002.Atlas 1.
