<br>
please find below the notes / session transcript of the 1st Education Committee meeting 2015, held today, on Sep 2.<br>
<br>
This is almost unedited, with three exceptions:<br>
<br>
(1) I removed the wiki password because the mailing list archive is publically accessible (please approach Maria, Zena or myself if it's not available to you),<br>
<br>
(2) I added notes on the former terminology project that I couldn't capture during the meeting, and<br>
<br>
(3) I clarified one name.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm sorry but I don't see a chance to rework the notes into proper minutes. However, if anyone wishes to see corrections or additions (of uncovered statements), please respond to the mailing list or let me know.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all participants and best regards,<br>
Frank<br>

<br>
[17:18] FrankLoebe: ^ FOIS 2016 website<br>
<br>
[17:22] FrankLoebe: OK: I suggest to push FOIS organizers for next steps regarding the Summer School<br>
<br>
[17:23] FrankLoebe: ZW: would the Summer School be run by the FOIS organizers or would it be independent?<br>
<br>
[17:24] FrankLoebe: FL: rather independent<br>
<br>
[17:25] FrankLoebe: OK: although it was very useful last year to have it closely together, and Summer School participants joinig FOIS later on (e.g. Kit Fine)<br>
<br>
[17:27] FrankLoebe: [action] [FL] look for name of the local contact person or ask FOIS local organizers for it<br>
<br>
[17:31] FrankLoebe: MK, ZW: we need more information on everything that needs to be done (general chairing, sponsorship, "PC activity" (selection of content/speakers), ...)<br>
<br>
[17:32] FrankLoebe: [action] [FL] start clarification via email with Michael Gruninger, Joao Paulo Almeida<br>
<br>
[17:32] FrankLoebe: [summary] A decision by MK,ZW on running the summer school shall be made after more information is available<br>
<br>
[17:33] FrankLoebe: .<br>
=== Wiki ===<br>
<br>
[17:33] FrankLoebe: see <a href="http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/</a><br>
<br>
[17:34] FrankLoebe: MK: we can do the sysadmin management, content can be added by everyone (password was shared via email earlier)<br>
<br>
[17:34] FrankLoebe: ZW: current content was put together by MK & ZW<br>
<br>
[17:35] [[EDIT: wiki password available on request from Maria Keet, Zena Wood or Frank Loebe]]<br>
<br>
[17:35] FrankLoebe: Amanda Hicks (AH) would be interested in content management of the wiki<br>
<br>
[17:37] FrankLoebe: AH would appreciate comments as the wiki evolves, any additional ideas<br>
<br>
[17:38] FrankLoebe: MK: one issue I had: books focus on different audiences (philosophers ... computer scientists ...), I was wondering whether we should use a semantic wiki or sth the like for finding/classifying material<br>
<br>
[17:43] FrankLoebe: FL: we may also work on a light-weight ontology/classification of topics, etc. and start a semantic wiki at a later stage<br>
<br>
[17:43] FrankLoebe: .<br>
=== Terminology Project ===<br>
<br>
[17:47] MariaKeet: <a href="http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Communique" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Communique</a><br>
<br>
[17:47] Amanda Hicks: <a href="http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?IaoaOntologyTerminology" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?IaoaOntologyTerminology</a><br>
<br>
[17:49] FrankLoebe: < OK, FL summarized a bit of the background of the terminology project ><br>
<br>
[17:49] FrankLoebe: FL: focus was a bit different than terms for content classification<br>
<br>
[17:51] FrankLoebe: Werner Ceusters (WC) has some experience with gathering terms and working out agreements in the context of the BFO community<br>
<br>
[17:53] anonymous morphed into vinay<br>
<br>
[17:55] FrankLoebe: < FL remarks on issues with the terminology projects, possibly to be added later ><br>
<br>
[[EDIT: FL remarks:<br>
* in my perception, there were some issues with the terminology project at that time:<br>
** difficult notions were to be covered, for which it will be hard to find agreements (i.e., several variants may need to co-exist)<br>
** it requires much work and was intended to be shared by multiple people, whereas few contributed eventually<br>
** it seemed that many were "distracted" by their day-to-day business, whereas the terminology in itself seemed not to be sufficiently rewarding to motivate a "critical mass" of contributors<br>
<br>
* despite this perception on the last attempt, I still think it would be a valuable resource to have such a terminology and thus useful to construct one<br>
]]<br>
<br>
[17:56] FrankLoebe: WC: settling the/a terminology would be a major issue for the textbook idea/project<br>
<br>
[17:57] FrankLoebe: Sandra Lovrencic (?): perhaps we should gather a bit more information on those intended projects, not making a decision today<br>
<br>
[17:57] Sandra Lovrencic: yes<br>
<br>
[17:58] FrankLoebe: WC: perhaps those of us interested in the terminology could describe how they use certain terms and how that differs from other uses they are aware of<br>
<br>
[17:59] FrankLoebe: < decisions on terminology are postponed to the next/later meetings Y><br>
<br>
[17:59] FrankLoebe: .<br>
=== Textbook ===<br>
<br>
[18:01] FrankLoebe: ZW: the idea was to outline a textbook (not so much a handbook) in order to then find individuals for writing chapters of the textbook<br>
<br>
[18:01] FrankLoebe: MK: target audience and prerequisites need ot be clarified<br>
<br>
[18:02] FrankLoebe: MK: publishing needs clarification: cheap vs. regular/expensive publishers, no printed publishing<br>
<br>
[18:06] FrankLoebe: FL: my question was how to ensure coherence and having "the same level" and possibly writing style in the textbook, which personally I'd like much for a textbook (whereas handbooks may have more independent chapters)<br>
<br>
[18:07] FrankLoebe: MK: yes, e.g. terminology should be settled early then ... with a small, core team there could be 4-5 people only<br>
<br>
[18:08] FrankLoebe: OK: perhaps a modular approach could work, starting with a small core written by a group, then later adding "orbiting" chapters by others<br>
<br>
[18:09] FrankLoebe: AH: we could start gathering our material on the wiki, and see terminology differences in there, for instance ...<br>
<br>
[18:11] FrankLoebe: MK: < agenda item 4. was merged in between ><br>
<br>
[18:11] FrankLoebe: < no further business ><br>
<br>
[18:12] FrankLoebe: .<br>
== next meetings ==<br>
<br>
[18:12] FrankLoebe: next meeting would then be on Oct 7<br>
<br>
[18:13] FrankLoebe: ^[agreement]<br>
