June, 2015 Telecon

This meeting focused on the Long-Term Goals and Roadmapping Session for the Semantic Web Cluster at the ESIP Summer Meeting. This will likely consist of a brainstorming session in the morning, followed by an afternoon session focused on strategic planning and the long term vision of the cluster. Important topics include:

  1. ontology portal
  2. ontology governance
  3. long term infrastructure
  4. schema.org
  5. long term development plan (1-2 years)

Other notes:

  • Is there a way to check/verify that the room housing the roadmapping session has an established internet connected with appropriate bandwidth for, at minimum, two people to participate via tele/videoconference? (Question for Erin or Annie)

Open questions:

  • Were any SW testbed projects submitted this year?
  • Are there any SW apps (either academic or private sector) ripe for presentation?
  • Is there someone available to talk about ODPs?

March, 2015 Telecon

  • A new special issue of Earth Science Informatics focusing on Semantic e-Science is now available.
  • The 35th International Geological Congress will be held in Cape Town, South Africa from 08/27 to 09/04, 2016. The organizers are accepting proposals for symposia, tutorials, workshops, and business meetings. This may be an excellent opportunity to establish a presence via an Introduction to Geoscience Semantics tutorial (just an example, there are others) or organizing domain workshops (and, obviously, organizing conference symposia). Watch email and/or Loomio for discussions and ideation.
  • Similarly, cluster members should organize their thoughts regarding proposals for the upcoming ESIP Summer Meeting. Watch for information about a ToolMatch Hackathon as well as a followup session to the previous Winter Meeting's Schema.org session.
  • Is there any ontology portal software (or software stack) other than BioPortal? It seems BioPortal is the best option. ESIP's BioPortal instance has a stable URI (is it the semantic portal link, or the Amazon AWS link, or something else?), but does have some unstable bits. The application will be updated to the current version in the next few months.
  • The Semantic Web Cluster will proceed with its application to move from cluster to committee after much positive feedback.

April, 2014 Telecon

  • Peter presented discussions ongoing with ESIP that may lead to Clusters not having to go through Products and Services to receive funding. This should be worked out, and possibly in place, by summer meeting.

NEW: If this is of any interest to you, I'll spin up a Basecamp site. so email me [bruce at tnms.org] and I'll sign you up. Here is another resource from bio-med land. http://code.google.com/p/annotation-ontology/ (Bruce C)
