Other possible Agenda items
Please add proposed agenda items below. If you have any specific time constraint please use the dated slots below and add why the constraint.
- What happens next? The longer term plan for continuing OBI development.
- OBI classes into IAO and BFO
- Making the old wiki read-only and moving over to the new wiki
- define a standard procedure for communities to submit new terms to OBI (I believe this is related to the QuickTerms and QuickID sub-project)
- What should the community do to facilitate the process?
- How will OBI incorporate? Who will be responsible?
- Do we need different processes for asserted vs defined classes?
