2 July 2013

• Dr. Liddle: has been working with students and HyKSS paper
• Tae Woo: needs to move workstation to laptop (SIDEBAR on Eclipse and SVN)
• Thomas: working on pattern recognition, integration with old code; will try to run experiments with it soon, so may need to label some more data
• Shin: implementing algorithms for shortest path connecting object sets recognized from queries
• David: finished making exporter able to reference things from any part of the JSON; has generalizations properly propagating object memberships; (SIDEBAR)

25 June 2013

• David: has been working on reference attributes; currently works with form, single field; working on more cases
• Dr. Embley: working with everyone; Church History people are willing to help us annotate, so we need to get the annotation tool in shape to get started (high priority item)
• Joseph: has committed ontology snippet editor code; should be up and running; tried to create form using form builder (Samantha's dev build), ran into some issues (sidebar right after with SS & SL)
• Dr. Liddle: has been working with many group members, especially on JS code
• Samantha: has been working on reference-to button, related elements of the form builder
• Stephen: fixed some bugs in regex tool, will continue working on plugging in to annotator page (sidebar SM & SL to discuss nav bar design)
• Tae Woo: is trying to run OntoES on his project; has questions about why
• Thomas: continuing to implement new regular expression induction process for lists
• Shin: still implementing algorithm to decide paths between object sets to generate SQL queries

18 June 2013

• Dr. Lonsdale: reported on trip to Ann Arbor and LG-SOAR Workshop, and how Peter is doing; going on two more trips next two weeks
• Dr. Embley: has been working with Dr. Nagy on tables; need to identify machines that no longer belong to us (sidebar); has been talking with Church about work for the fall; they want to start doing some “ground truthing”
• Joseph: has been working on interface for ontology snippets; close to finishing; taking longer than originally expected due to complex interactions with other projects; will be working more on interfaces
• Dr. Liddle: has been working with various students; has priorities to discuss with Samantha
• Samantha: working on default button (sidebar)
• Shin: got final permission from Korea to extend stay; working to generate SQL; will replace AskOntos code (sidebar)
• Tae Woo: working on TWK; has found lots more details to work on with patterns; will need to coordinate with Joseph
• Thomas: had fun looking for fossils and petroglyphs; working on new way to deduce regular expressions for lists in a way that uses unlabeled text better; has couple questions about Hudson
• Stephen: has been working on regex tool; has popovers completed with capture groups, etc.; has a few bugs to iron out (sidebar: quick demo for Joseph)
• David: fixed bug on bounding boxes in annotated components; has proposed JSON input for collections and references; would like to real JSON from the form builder as soon as possible

Things We Need to Coordinate

• Need to complete Aaron's code to handle form collections and references so that Joseph can produce ground truth documents.
• Need to complete OSMX conversion for form collections and references.
• Need to make decision about guarantees with references: when we reference something, that something must be there. But what happens when we delete something that is referenced? Decision: let's take the easy route and disallow deletion of fields that are currently referenced.
• Can “versioning” work? I.e., how far can we evolve OSMX before we break things? Answer: POM files use version numbers. We just need to make sure we increment the minor version number if we make significant changes to the schema.
• Need to make OSMX schema changes for matched text.

11 June 2013

• Shin: finished up paperwork to extend stay; waiting for final permission from his university; still implementing SQL generator; has had some plumbing problems to deal with this week.
