Your thoughts are very much appreciated, and feel free to add comments on a wiki discussion page for the VIVO/ISF Ontology Working Group even if you can't attend these two meetings.

Feedback from the today's meeting:

• (Jing) – a need for more training on the ontology, and for a common working space
• (Steve) – identifying needs but also helping people out
  
  • learning about ontologies
  • sees the priorities as the first two bullets above, with then outreach into new domains
  • sees cross-pollination across groups and various VIVO implementers as very important
• (Gail) – training is also important
  
  • also relates to the 3rd bullet from the bottom (evaluating existing and new tools to support ontology creation, editing, change management, release, and evaluation, ideally in a networked rather than single-user environment)
• (Steve) – learning more about the ISF and BFO to see where the VIVO project is going and being able to help incorporate new domains into VIVO as well as learn more about how to create an ontology that is consistent with an upper level ontology
• (Jon) – we could have more focused calls, such as the first week of the month for training, the second for prioritizing changes for the next release

• , 3rd for topical discussions or invited speakers, etc.
  • Gail – endorses that idea
