      • Now a NASA ESDS WG
      • Broader view at ESIP
      • Examining use cases and how they map to PROV
      • decouple content (model) from encoding scheme

    • Join PROV-ES session already proposed, including intro to the activity and concept mapping toward the end
    • schema.org/ dataset extension for Earth Science - Peter to prepare draft and send to Brian, Beth, Ruth and Hook for comment and submit (in progress). Mashups and ToolMatch may fit at the end of this.
    • Likely cluster business meeting to discuss activities. Ontology governance was not suggested as a session but should fit more with monthly telecons.
