Re: [soa-rm] canceling 10 December and 24 December meetings, but ...

I think, it is a good news about the MITE feedbacks. 
 
On my side, I have updated the diagrams and  _verified_ terms against RAF. As a result, I removed my definitions for some terms and returned to the RAF's one, but have found a few that look strange to me now. I have added a 'book' to the Visio diagrams with the definitions of additional terms and the ones under question in my opinion; for such cases the text of definitions are accompanied by "[RAF]=" symbols and related texts. This means that I am not sure if the RAF's definitions are on the subject.
 
To Ken's proposal, I think that before "divide up the concept space among the interested" let them read all and choose the most interesting parts for themselves; then, we will  "divide up the concept space" if anything remains. 
 
I propose to point interested people on to RM and RAF _now_ to make them familiar with the materials by the next meeting in January - who is really interested, will find the time in holidays to read, I think.
 
Best wishes to all in this holiday season! This year we are going to participate in Hogmanay, in Scotland.

Subject: [soa-rm] canceling 10 December and 24 December meetings, but ...

Unfortunately, I’ve now got two additional meetings scheduled during our call time for this Wednesday, so I think we need to cancel.  This is disappointing because I sent out a posting to the MITE ontology list about working on a SOA Ontology, and I got back a fair number of responses.  The question is then how best to organize the effort, and I was hoping to discuss that on Wednesday.  So,

 

ACTION: if we have resources to do the ontology development, how best to use them?  My first thought is to have everyone look over the RM and RAF, agree on a basic approach, and then divide up the concept space among the interested.  Is there a better way to attack this?

 

Also, it seems prudent to cancel the 24 December meeting too and set the next meeting for 7 January.  However, let’s see if we can get some momentum on the ontology.  If useful, I will schedule a special meeting.

 

Have a good holiday season.  There will be candles and latkes at my house for anyone in the neighborhood.

 

Ken
