''Note on 'MatOnto''': The current [http://matonto.org MatOnto] site hosts the Inovex semantic web software, which is in process of being rebranded as 'Mobi'.

'''Schedule'''

'''Monday 9am-noon: Park 141'''
:Review of the open (= not legally encumbered) portions of the [https://github.com/cpauloh/semmd Materials, Manufacturing, and Design (MMD)] vocabulary

'''Tuesday noon-5pm: Jeannette Martin Room, 5th Floor, Capen Hall''' (please bring lunch)

This session will be a heavy-duty working session involving multiple screens.
:Screen 1: BFO open in an ontology editor 
:Screen 2: candidate domain ontology MatOnto input in another and project that onto a 2nd screen beside the BFO projection. We will feature in particular the [http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2580238 SLACKS] Semantic Knowledge Management System for Laminated Composites, which will be presented by Ian Grosse (UMass Amherst)
:Screen 3: project information about the domain ontology onto a 3rd screen; 
-- Annotate the classes and properties of the domain ontology to identify where the domain ontology entities would seem to align with BFO (first iteration).
-- Annotate the classes and properties of the domain ontology with the initial set of "portion of material" categories
-- Assess the domain ontology hierarchy from a mono-hierarchy perspective
-- Remain in-session until Wed at 11:00 am, have lunch, organize and consolidate all material, discuss next steps (rather than Tue?)

'''Wednesday 9am-noon Park 141: Conclusion'''

At the conclusion of activity on Wed afternoon, we should have
-- at least one location known to all where open MMD definitions for can be sourced
-- an organized set of public domain information about each of the domain ontologies (location, description, articles, general initial assessment)
-- a starting point for aligning the domain ontologies with the BFO (via class and property annotation of domain ontologies)
-- some level of understanding about the correctness of any hierarchies; and as a result, a starting point for reengineering the hierarchy
