This will help us to understand each other better and simplify interactions and coming up with an agreement. And additionally, we can use these definitions to explain the ontology to other people as they then have the possibility to understand our thinking. 20:29:43 +q 20:30:33 trackbot: +manfred_DERI 20:30:33 Sorry, kerry, I don't understand 'trackbot: +manfred_DERI'. Please refer to http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/irc for help 20:30:49 Kevin: Relation between sensor and devices ? 20:30:56 ack Manfred_DERI 20:31:32 I agree... on agreeing about terms 20:31:37 +1 20:31:51 I put a possible starting point on the wiki before the f2f: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/SWE_terms 20:31:56 Manfred: Need definitions and process of conveying to these definitions 20:32:56 Kerry: Kevin responded to this 20:33:20 Kevin: List of terms and definitions are already on the wiki. 20:34:29 ack michael 20:34:34 Agree with Manfred on the care to take to explain where the ontology come from 20:34:36 Manfred: rationale is very important for system implementers and for improving the acceptance 20:35:32 +1 I also don't think all sensors are devices - I think we need the different concepts that Michael mentions 20:36:46 Though I'm not too bothered what either is called ;) As long as the concepts are separate. 20:37:05 When conceptualize, we should also give examples. 20:37:20 Examples help the understanding tremendously because you understand the otherwise quite abstract terms. 20:38:04 From said wiki page... Sensor: An entity capable of observing a phenomenon and returning an observed value. 20:38:30 why not leave sensor and device independent, than we still can create a combination like Sensor-device which inherits from both 20:39:32 ack graybeal 20:39:33 Michael: Device and Sensors are conceptually different. Device is a physical thing. Sensor produces a value for a property, not neccesarly a device.. 20:41:26 graybeal: Make difference between meaning of the words and meaning of the concepts within the ontology 20:41:57 How about with use the tracker to start with, and suggest changes to: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/SWE_terms 20:43:13 +q 20:43:34 ack Manfred DERI 20:43:40 graybeal: Possible solutions - create definitions and then we think about the label 20:44:56 +q 20:45:16 -q 20:45:23 Manfred_DERI: we should not be limited to our specific area. Spend more time in looking at the larger picture 20:45:26 It may be worth considering an upport ontology appproach 20:45:29 ack Payam 20:46:30 +q 20:46:33 We don't have to worry about aligning our use of the Sensor concept exactly with other uses (for one thing other uses are contradictory; for another our use is within the context of our ontology) 20:46:37 AmitSheth: design to extend is important 20:47:24 Payam: Use Resource in a general sense 20:48:10 By pursuing the idea of a glossary offline we can work on the meaning-first vs names-first during that process 20:48:27 +q 20:48:51 Kerry: We agree on start working on definitions, starting with SWE terms, and working on definitions first. John proposal ? 20:49:22 -Prateek 20:50:06 I suggest if anyone wants changes to the wiki glossary we take them to the tracker. 20:50:21 I think the Wiki is easier 20:50:37 John: Suggestion: pursue wiki definitions. Need to come to an agreement about concepts and specific terms 20:50:37 Where changes are: term modifications, or term removals 20:50:45 +q 20:50:50 +q 20:50:54 +q 20:53:19 ack krp 20:53:29 kerry:have an editor to apply changes.. comments in the wiki... 20:53:37 ack Manfred_DERI 20:53:49 Use cases review points to "categories" : need to split also the terms defs 20:53:49 SWE terms corresponds to the Sensor/Observations (Observatories) not necessary to Semantic Sensor Networks and Grids 20:53:57 ack laurent_oz 20:54:05 Manfred_DERI: wiki + 20:54:22 +1 on having an editor be the coordinator of the process of developing definitions 20:54:42 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Use_cases 20:54:47 ack Bermudez_Luis 20:54:56 any process is OK, but it is important to have an editor to align everyone's process 20:55:26 +q 20:55:56 ack Manfred_DERI 20:55:59 having the editor specify the process: +1 20:56:01 kerry: need to find out who is the editor.. 20:56:28 -q 20:56:42 Manfred_DERI: Proposing Luis... 20:57:18 kerry: This person will be organizing the process etc.. 20:57:46 Well, O&M and SensorML 20:58:47 So I could do it if Luis doesn't want to (though the next two weeks aren't good!) 21:00:07 +1 21:00:11 +1 21:00:12 kerry: vote Luis role as editor of the glossar of terms and developed the process through the wiki and comming with issues to the meeting 21:00:12 +1 21:00:27 +1 21:00:28 +1 21:00:28 +1 with kevin as co-editor? 21:00:43 +1 21:00:50 +1 for Kevin as co-editor 21:01:00 +1 for Kevin as co-editor 21:01:18 +1 21:02:06 ACTION; Luis and Kevin editors of the glossary and will start the process of moving it forward 21:02:09 Kevin do you want me to do the use case you were lined up against with Oscar? 21:02:38 Topic: xg deliverables & extension 21:03:10 laurent_oz: Feel free to start on something.
