= pre-meeting material =

== 1. EduTC to act as ISAO Steering Committee confirmed ==

* IAOA EC accepts the understanding of how EduTC will steer ISAO

* communicated agreement:
< partial copy of EC meeting n.153, Aug 29, pre-meeting material >

[based on Education Committee meeting of Aug 10, 2016]

The EduC accepts the task of steering ISAO schools, by which the
following is understood:

* the main task is to try to initiate ISAO schools regularly,
  which means to:
 ** try finding a general chair, PC chair(s), possibly local chair(s)
 ** this will be coordinated with FOIS hosting proposals, keeping in
    mind an intended direct link or nearby location
 ** general and PC chairs are responsible for identifying facilitators,
    scheduling the program, etc., but the EduC will monitor their
    activities and might give advice and (limited) support

* if reasonable attempts to fill those positions fail, this will be
  communicated to the EC, but there is _no obligation_ to fill any
  of the open positions by EduC members

* other steering decisions, e.g. on the frequency of ISAO events, can
  also be made by the EduC and will be coordinated with the EC
</ copy >



== 2. Applied Ontology Terminology ==

=== 2d. procedure as proposed by J.F.Sowa -> editors? ===

* Jul 28, 2016: SL starts a thread "Applied Ontology Terminology" [1] at [ontolog-forum], hinting on the former [2] and the current [3] term lists

* proposals for further procedure by John Sowa (Jul 31) [4]
  [summarized & rearranged, 6.+7. attributed to Christiane Fellbaum]
 1. general editor for general project management
 2. associate editors for handling term subsets
 3. open set of contributors submitting citations and information to
    associate editors
 4. build on earlier editions/work
 5. enable term suggestions by contributors
 6. accommodate everyone's definitions of a term
 7. collect and cluster real example sentences (as term contexts)

== 4b. ontology textbook effort: continue discussion on scope ==

comment by FL, Aug 03 [1]:
* clarify scope & target audience of the textbook
* in case of a teaching focus, start collecting
 ** teaching and learning goals
 ** topics
* formal representation and languages: which level/aspiration in this
  respect?
