  • 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?
