IAO Meeting notes of July 7th 2009

Details

• Convened by: Melanie, Alan
• Notes by: Melanie
• Where: Skype
• Attendees: Larisa, Chris, Bjoern, James, Alan, Melanie

Some topics discussed

• Changing name of "information content entity" to "information artifact" / Clarifying scope of IAO - connected with Issue 21
• Sorting what goes in IAO versus OBI
• Relation between data and visualization (leads to Larisa's use of "represents" relationship)

Exploring Larisa's "represents" relation cases

1. You have the same data in more than one "format", e.g. XML, or Tab delimited.
2. To relate two report graphs generated from the same data (visualization)
3. hypothesis. First english is presented, second logical is presented.

Current solution is to use is_about, but we may need a more specific relation. For example, relation between information content entity and material document is that the material document bears a specifically dependent continuant that is the concretization of the information content entity.
