Agenda

Tue, April 29, 17:00 – 18:00 (EEST)

  • Presentation by Claudio of the idea of X-Link - Chimaera integration
  • Description of foreseen activities for this integration
  • Discussion on possible work plan and proposal for a road map (Resource needed + milestones)
  • Wrap up and decision on the feasibility of this task

Participants

  • Pasquale Pagano (CNR)
  • Claudio Baldassarre (FAO)
  • Anton Ellenbroek (FAO)
  • Yann Laurent (FAO)
  • Pavlos Fafalios (FORTH)
  • Manolis Baritakis (FORTH)

Discussion Summary

  • Claudio presented some slides regarding the X-Link - Chimaera integration and the tasks/activities that are required towards this integration.link to ppt
  • Pavlos detailed what it is required in order to start implementing an extension of X-Link. Specifically,
    • The files processors for each format.
    • Details of the Knowledge Base that will be exploited for the entity linking process (e.g. its SPARQL endpoint, etc.).
    • The code (and the JSON structure) for populating the index
    • More details of the index (that is hosted by NKUA), e.g. how one can access the index, its structure, etc.
  • Pavlos said that he can dedicate much effort on May and that the idea scenario is to have a first version of the X-Link extension at the end of May. On June, he can dedicate time only at the end of the month (after 24).
  • Claudio said that he is busy on May, but he will try to collect/prepare what it is needed and send them to Pavlos.
  • Pavlos said that the main risk is the existence of possible dependencies of the data/information that will be sent by Claudio.
  • Lino suggested to use tickets for tracking the corresponding activities. Pavlos and Claudio agreed.

Actions

  • Claudio will create one ticket in correspondence of each identified task to carry out the adoption of xLink in Chimaera
  • Claudio will deliver a documentation of technical specifications for Pavlos in order to let him start the work during May; this will require checkpoints along the development of the work between FAO-FORTH.
  • FORTH will start implementing the X-Link extension
  • Claudio will keep up with the update of xLink to ensure that requirements are respected and take over the work as soon as feasible (mainly towards the end of May)
