Semantic Tech Roadmap - presentation by Peter Fox August 2018

Vision of the Semantic Technologies Committee

  1. Promote research and development of semantic technologies in support of Earth science data discovery, dissemination, and analysis
  2. Collaborate with ESIP members, working groups, clusters, and standing committees on semantic related topics
  3. Foster sharing and reuse of ontologies and controlled vocabularies
  4. To provide a collaborative environment for the development of ontologies and ontology-based standards
  5. To maintain a long-term agenda and roadmap for evaluation of semantic technologies within ESIP
  6. To collaborate with external agencies, on behalf of ESIP, in regards to semantic technologies

2015-2020 Strategic Plan Goals

GeoSemantics Symposium

The GeoSemantics Symposium is held annually and co-located with the ESIP Winter Meeting.

2018

Co-located with ESIP Winter 2018 on Tuesday January 8th, 2017 from 9AM-5PM (the day before the start of the ESIP Winter Meeting 2018) at Bethesda North Marriott, Bethesda, MD. The theme is Applications of Semantics and Ontologies in Earth Science

2017

Held on Tuesday January 10th, 2017 from 9AM-5PM (the day before the start of the ESIP Winter Meeting 2017) in the Middlebrook Room at Bethesda North Marriott, Bethesda, MD.

Current Projects and Collaborations

Semantic Projects in which Committee members are involved in can be found in this section of the Strategic Vision document.

Current Collaboration Areas

  1. We are evaluating which ontology portal features (mappings, alignment, visualization, registering, etc.) are of need to the broad Earth science community. As of the ESIP Summer Meeting 2017, a comprehensive Ontology Portal Evaluation has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.
  2. We are considering how to establish an Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap.
  3. We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what governance looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)
  4. In conjunction with ESIP's Products and Services we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse.
  5. We are working with ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources
