<div>Hi nomination@,<br />
I would like to register my 2020 self-nomination with the following statement<br />
<br />
In 2019 I was privileged to serve as the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee Chair. A position which I have enjoyed tremendously. In 2019 [0] I ran with a commitment to execute the following plan<br />
<br />
* ensure more overlap with the OGC's active GeoSemanticWeb community. ESIP's activity in the SemTech area should be better communicated to that international audience<br />
* ensure as presence at the U.S. Semantic Technologies Symposium 2019 which will bring together the U.S. Semantic Web community and begin forming a stronger research network<br />
* continue community development and releases of the SWEET Ontology Suite such that we can grow it to the de-facto semantic web and linked data resource for earth and environmental terminology<br />
* establish a SWEET Community Building Workshop; this will offer content from introductory level through to data mash ups, and development activities such as ontology alignment and the addition of documentation for SWEET<br />
* continue to endorse and evangelize the use of COR as a top tier linked data server for the earth science community. A technology publication for this topic demonstrating use cases and uptake would be the initial step<br />
* update the previous work undertaken by Peter Fox et al. on the Semantic Technologies Infusion Roadmap and Hype Cycle. This is a critical component of us ensuring that SemTech Committee remains relevant in todays technology space.<br />
<br />
<br />
On #1 - It turns out that the OGC GeoSemanticWeb community is not nearly as active as I once thought. In fact, we’ve seen much more activity within ESIP over the last year. This is clear sign that a strong body of experts and evangelists now exists at ESIP. In 2020 We will continue to make progress on community building fronts, touching base specifically with the US2TS community in the United States. I aim to personally advance this agenda through attendance at a few events throughout 2020 and also by inviting new community members to our monthly telecon’s.<br />
<br />
On #2 - Several members of the ESIP SemTech committee attended US2TS 2019 [1] which took place on March 11-13, 2019 at Duke University in Durham, NC. Those attendees provided event commentary at the June teleconference. Our 2020 budget has a specific line item in support of continuing this community building effort so there is clear progress and future commitment on this item.<br />
<br />
On #3 - In 2019 the SWEET project and community improved leaps and bounds. The contributor base [2] grew, we held our first ESIP Geoscience Community Ontology Engineering Workshop (GCOEW) [3] which we will be repeating at AGU Fall Meeting 2019 in December. Additionally, we witnessed the rollout of a grassroots cluster focused on Semantic Harmonization [4] with its current focus on bringing the SWEET ontology up-to-date while harmonizing it with other commonly used ontologies such as ENVO. Clear propgress has been made on this front and I look forward to contributing towards this again in 2020.<br />
<br />
On #4 – As stated in #3… this item has been addressed. We will be running another two of these workshops in 2020. Additionally, I am currently pulling together the outline for a SWEET publication which we will submit to Elsevier’s Computers and Geosciences journal.<br />
<br />
On #5 – In 2019 was witnessed the creation of the COR cluster which formalizes the development and community building required for COR to be a successful ESIP investment moving forward. In our 2020 budget we have two lines items for COR showing commitment to the project and the benefits it provides for the wider community. I am commitment to making COR a useful service to the ESIP community and look forward to the challenges this task presents in 2020.<br />
<br />
On #6 – In 2020 we are embracing ESIP’s vision statement of Putting Data to Work. We will be doing this through a seminar and blog series together with our industry partner Franz Inc. [5] who are the developers and owners of the AllegroGraph graph database [6] which powers COR. I look forward to making more progress on our roadmap in 2020.<br />
<br />
In addition, to achieving the above I was responsible for facilitating the VOTE and formal assignment of Pierre Luigi Buttigieg as SemTech Committee Co-chair. Pier’s leadership and collaborative team spirit has been invaluable so far and it has been great to work with and learn from Pier throughout 2019. I look forward to working with him in 2019.<br />
I would also like to thank Zachary Robbins for his effort and commitment in the ESIP SemTech Fellow position in 2019. I hope this has been a valuable experience for Zach as he progresses through his Ph.D. program. I’ve nominated two candidates for the 2020 position and look forward to working with our next Fellow.<br />
<br />
In 2019 I made my best efforts to advance the role of Semantic technologies within ESIP. I tried to so this by getting back to the basics and once again running the Committee as a Technologies Committee first and foremost. I think this methodology is working so I am going to stick at it again for 2020 should I be permitted to return to the Chair capacity.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />
Lewis McGibbney<br />

<div>Hi nomination@,<br />
I would like to register my 2020 self-nomination with the following statement<br />
<br />
In 2019 I was privileged to serve as the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee Chair. A position which I have enjoyed tremendously. In 2019 [0] I ran with a commitment to execute the following plan<br />
<br />
* ensure more overlap with the OGC's active GeoSemanticWeb community. ESIP's activity in the SemTech area should be better communicated to that international audience<br />
* ensure as presence at the U.S. Semantic Technologies Symposium 2019 which will bring together the U.S. Semantic Web community and begin forming a stronger research network<br />
* continue community development and releases of the SWEET Ontology Suite such that we can grow it to the de-facto semantic web and linked data resource for earth and environmental terminology<br />
* establish a SWEET Community Building Workshop; this will offer content from introductory level through to data mash ups, and development activities such as ontology alignment and the addition of documentation for SWEET<br />
* continue to endorse and evangelize the use of COR as a top tier linked data server for the earth science community. A technology publication for this topic demonstrating use cases and uptake would be the initial step<br />
* update the previous work undertaken by Peter Fox et al. on the Semantic Technologies Infusion Roadmap and Hype Cycle. This is a critical component of us ensuring that SemTech Committee remains relevant in todays technology space.<br />
<br />
* On #1 - It turns out that the OGC GeoSemanticWeb community is not nearly as active as I once thought. In fact, we’ve seen much more activity within ESIP over the last year. This is clear sign that a strong body of experts and evangelists now exists at ESIP. In 2020 We will continue to make progress on community building fronts, touching base specifically with the US2TS community in the United States. I aim to personally advance this agenda through attendance at a few events throughout 2020 and also by inviting new community members to our monthly telecon’s.<br />
* On #2 - Several members of the ESIP SemTech committee attended US2TS 2019 [1] which took place on March 11-13, 2019 at Duke University in Durham, NC. Those attendees provided event commentary at the June teleconference. Our 2020 budget has a specific line item in support of continuing this community building effort so there is clear progress and future commitment on this item.<br />
* On #3 - In 2019 the SWEET project and community improved leaps and bounds. The contributor base [2] grew, we held our first ESIP Geoscience Community Ontology Engineering Workshop (GCOEW) [3] which we will be repeating at AGU Fall Meeting 2019 in December. Additionally, we witnessed the rollout of a grassroots cluster focused on Semantic Harmonization [4] with its current focus on bringing the SWEET ontology up-to-date while harmonizing it with other commonly used ontologies such as ENVO. Clear propgress has been made on this front and I look forward to contributing towards this again in 2020.<br />
* On #4 – As stated in #3… this item has been addressed. We will be running another two of these workshops in 2020. Additionally, I am currently pulling together the outline for a SWEET publication which we will submit to Elsevier’s Computers and Geosciences journal.<br />
* On #5 – In 2019 was witnessed the creation of the COR cluster which formalizes the development and community building required for COR to be a successful ESIP investment moving forward. In our 2020 budget we have two lines items for COR showing commitment to the project and the benefits it provides for the wider community. I am commitment to making COR a useful service to the ESIP community and look forward to the challenges this task presents in 2020.<br />
* On #6 – In 2020 we are embracing ESIP’s vision statement of Putting Data to Work. We will be doing this through a seminar and blog series together with our industry partner Franz Inc. [5] who are the developers and owners of the AllegroGraph graph database [6] which powers COR. I look forward to making more progress on our roadmap in 2020.<br />
<br />
In addition, to achieving the above I was responsible for facilitating the VOTE and formal assignment of Pierre Luigi Buttigieg as SemTech Committee Co-chair. Pier’s leadership and collaborative team spirit has been invaluable so far and it has been great to work with and learn from Pier throughout 2019. I look forward to working with him in 2019.<br />
I would also like to thank Zachary Robbins for his effort and commitment in the ESIP SemTech Fellow position in 2019. I hope this has been a valuable experience for Zach as he progresses through his Ph.D. program.

==Vision of the Semantic Technologies Committee==<br />
#Promote research and development of semantic technologies in support of Earth science data discovery, dissemination, and analysis<br />
#Collaborate with ESIP members, working groups, clusters, and standing committees on semantic related topics<br />
#Foster sharing and reuse of ontologies and controlled vocabularies<br />
#To provide a collaborative environment for the development of ontologies and ontology-based standards<br />
#To maintain a long-term agenda and roadmap for evaluation of semantic technologies within ESIP<br />
#To collaborate with external agencies, on behalf of ESIP, in regards to semantic technologies<br />

===Current Projects and Collaborations===<br />
<br />
Semantic Projects in which Committee members are involved in can be found in [[Strategic_Vision#Current_Projects|this section]] of the Strategic Vision document.<br />
<br />
Current Collaboration Areas<br />
# 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 [https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html Ontology Portal Evaluation] has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.<br />
# We are considering how to establish an [[Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap]].<br />
# We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what [[Ontology_Governance|governance]] looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)<br />
# In conjunction with ESIP's [[Products_and_Services| Products and Services]] we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse. <br />
# We are working with [[Cloud_Computing | ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster]] to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources<br />

Current Collaboration Areas<br />
# 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 [https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html Ontology Portal Evaluation] has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.<br />
# We are considering how to establish an [[Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap]].<br />
# We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what [[Ontology_Governance|governance]] looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)<br />
# In conjunction with ESIP's [[Products_and_Services| Products and Services]] we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse. <br />
# We are working with [[Cloud_Computing | ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster]] to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources<br />

==24 January 2017==<br />
Attendees: Tom Narock, Beth Huffer, Andrea Thomer, Bruce Caron, Mike Huhns, Robert Groman, Robert Arko<br />
<br />
Beth: <br />
Wants to get everyone thinking about 2017 workplan<br />
* ESIP community as a whole is working on developing a 2017 workplan, and we should submit something for the SWTC.<br />
* Beth will probably pull together a brief outline and send it out to the larger ESIP community strategic plan.<br />
* Need to focus on doing serious outreach – get the prospective adopters together with implementers, and finding ways for them to work together.<br />
** What groups or organizations have problems that could be solved with ST under development by ESIP?<br />
* Talked with Lindsey Barbieri (Bar) – as part of the ESDA.<br />
** Lots of use cases and cluster members in search of solutions<br />
** Planning on working together a lot over the next year<br />
** Might get prospective ESDA adopters to give presentations over the year<br />
<br />
Lewis can't make the meeting but they kicked off the earth science knowledge graph testbed project<br />
<br />
What will we do as a committee once we have the portals up and available? How will we evangelize the portals? <br />
* possibly have tutorials, to teach people how to use them/it<br />
<br />
Discussion:<br />
Mike – after settling on one portal, our goal should be to populate it. That will help attract people to use the portal.<br />
<br />
Beth – raises the issue of use cases; wants us to continue developing and fleshing out use cases, for the portal but also more generally for semantics. Could be done w/ESDA cluster.<br />
Want to start mapping between requirements and solutions<br />
Will put out a call to people working on the ontologies and encourage them to use the portal as a repository for those ontologies.<br />
<br />
Bruce – Wanted to note that ESIP overall is hoping the clusters/committees use the time each month, even if it's a short call. If people can't make it, then Bruce will start the call. If we need to have a call on a separate date, can do that too – but ESIP prefers the committee times to stay pretty regular.<br />
<br />
Beth – hoping that we'll expand our vision of what constitutes semantic technologies.<br />
* recognize role of ontologies, but also think about ways that ontologies can be leveraged<br />
* e.g. NLP, machine learning, topic modeling, things that leverage deductive reasoning and other things that go with ontologies.<br />
* Should invite people who are using ML or NLP to give talks and see how we might collaborate.<br />
<br />
Bob Groman: Would be useful to know what difficulties people have in using semantic technologies. Why are some groups not implementing the tech? What makes it hard to implement the tech?<br />
<br />
Beth: Agreed, there is an adoption problem. Why, and what problems are they having?<br />
* could we have tutorials, time outside the monthly meeting for portal tutorials?<br />
* Or tutorials on how to use an ontology! Once you've found it, how do you use it?<br />
<br />
Robert Arko: would like to see linked data included in that tech stack<br />
<br />
Beth: agreed, thinks we could muster some broader enthusiasm with that broader focus. <br />
<br />
Arko: Like Adam Shepard's presentation at the symposium with lots of examples – would be great to invite people to give short 3-5 min lightning talks. Might be more inviting, and might be more focused. P<br />
<br />
Beth: would be good to get short talks from both adopters and developers<br />
<br />
Clarification on the repository selection process:<br />
* Using Annie Burgess' SW eval process that she developed for the NASA information system tech program<br />
* Eval is on hold until Annie is back from maternity leave on March 1<br />
* Beth will talk with Erin to see if there's anything we can do to get ready.<br />
<br />
<br />
== October 25, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Budget Approval<br />
** The ESIP Finance Committee has approved all of the items requested in this year's budget. Our theme is outreach and collaboration. ESIP has approved external outreach by approving travel to RDA and the EarthCube All Hands meeting. We have also been approved to host a one day GeoSemantics Symposium the day before the Winter Meeting starts. The goal of the symposium is to bring together ESIP clusters and committees, along with external groups, and begin discussing collaborations and road mapping to maximize reuse and avoid duplication of efforts. Logistics for the symposium are just beginning. The agenda will begin to take shape over the next few weeks. Those with suggestions on topics or format are encouraged to reach out to Tom and Beth.<br />
* ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposals<br />
** Session proposals are due October 31. Two topics emerged on the call. The ToolMatch group will host a hands-on session to map datasets and tools. A second idea emerged for a "Semantic Community Engagement Plan" that would cover ontology governance plans, leveraging other communities, finding/identifying/promoting ontologies via the portal. Details on this second session will be worked out in the next few days.<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Annie provided an updated on the portal evaluations. Use cases have been identified to use in the evaluation. Reviewers have also been identified; however, the reviewers have not yet committed to the reviews. Annie will be out starting mid-November on maternity leave. The group all agreed we should not try to rush and start the review process before Annie leaves. Ontology portal evaluations will be put on hold and will resume around March 2017.<br />
* Semantic Roadmap<br />
** Bhaskar provided an update on the roadmap efforts. He will circulate the latest version of the Google Doc and the group will work to identify writers for each section. Ruth suggested a distributed approach in which writers get only a paragraph or two to write and it becomes a distributed writing effort. We'll review at the November call who has shown interest in contributing<br />
* Collaboration Area Poster<br />
** ESIP has requested one poster from each cluster and committee to be displayed at the Winter Meeting. These posters will be up throughout the entire ESIP meeting not just at the poster session. Beth had created a similar poster last year to highlight our committee. She will make that poster available and we can collaboratively edit it.<br />
<br />
== September 27, 2016 ==<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Erin provided an overview of how ESIP was providing evaluations for NASA projects and was expanding into a more general framework for software and project evaluations. This new evaluation framework will be used to provide an independent evaluation of our two ontology portals. The evaluations will try to cover a number of facets including cost, maintenance and support options, functionality, and science use case evaluation<br />
** Annie continued the discussion with a call for use cases, which will be supplied to the evaluation committee. Beth, Lewis, and others have already contributed several use cases to a github repository at https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html. Everyone is asked to review the use cases for detail and clarity. Ensure that the actors and workflow are clear and unambiguous. For example, is it clear who the "user" is (developer, domain scientist, etc.)?<br />
** Beth and Mike Huhns volunteered to review the use cases. Others are encourage to do so as well. All feedback needs to be sent to Annie B. by October 12 so that the evaluation can can begin<br />
* Road Map<br />
** Bhaskar gave an overview of his objectives for a Semantic Web Roadmap<br />
** He suggests something that is more fundamental than the EarthCube roadmap from a few years ago<br />
** For example, what is the basic value proposition of the Semantic Web? How and where can it add value to Earth Sciences<br />
** A preliminary outline was sent around to the committee via email. Bhaskhar is currently evaluating existing efforts in this area and will soon (next week) produce a shared google doc for collaborative editing on the sections of the roadmap<br />
** Ruth suggested that we identify folks who can dig into repositories and data centers to really get at the value proposition<br />
** Several open access outlets are being considered for the final publication. A draft is anticipated by the Winter 2017 ESIP meeting<br />
* RDA Collaboration<br />
** Soren presented a possible RDA collaboration involving ontology governance<br />
** RDA VSIG is seeking exemplars of open source governance models. It was suggested that the SWEET model could be put forward as an ESIP exemplar. <br />
** Ruth volunteered to also present her work on the sea ice ontologies and their model<br />
** It was suggested that Ruth, Lewis, and anyone else interested, form a temporary subgroup to document and discuss the existing models and prepare a submission to RDA. Ruth will be traveling for the next few weeks and Lewis was not at this call. We will reach out to Lewis and continue the discussion offline once Ruth returns.<br />
* Announcements<br />
** Ruth mentioned that Purls are becoming available again via Internet archive. Good news for existing ontologies that use Purl URIs<br />
<br />
== May 24, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** The summer meeting will be used to gather feedback from the broader ESIP community on which features and functionality are needed in a portal<br />
** The Business and Planning session at the summer meeting will be used to further discuss our plans for what the evaluation will look like<br />
** There was a lot of discussion on the two current portals, their functionality, how they handle versioning, and how they handle URIs<br />
** John proposed a URI scheme for his portal: http://esipsw.org/ont/<authority>/<ontname>/<termID><br />
*** there was some concern about the new domain<br />
*** John and Tom will work with Erin to see what our options are for using http://esipfed.org<br />
* Business and Planning session at the summer meeting<br />
** current agenda includes an open discussion on an open source SWEET and what that would entail and continued discussion on the ontology portal evaluation<br />
** any additional agenda items should be sent to Tom<br />
* Cloud Access<br />
** We have been offered access to EarthCube's cloud infrastructure for testing of semantic applications<br />
** It was determined that this may be premature for our group. The ontology portal already has an AWS instance and other applications are not yet ready for this type of deployment. The group would also like to wait to see the outcomes of upcoming EarthCube meetings to see how this cloud infrastructure will fit into the technology architecture and long term vision of EarthCube<br />
<br />
== March 22, 2016 ==<br />
* Discussion on sessions for the summer meeting. Session proposals are due April 1.<br />
** We currently have 3 session ideas on the table. 1.) a general Semantic Technologies business and planning session - possibly to include a ToolMatch component, 2.) a tutorial on Linked Data, creating a scheme, publishing and consuming semantic content, and 3.) a tutorial/discussion on what ontologies are currently available, how to find them, and what can I do with them once found<br />
** There is also a related session being put together by Soren Scott regarding software readiness levels and governance. The topics will be relevant to our committee as we begin to deploy cloud resources to host semantic projects<br />
* Phil Yang and Emily Law are beginning an initial study on costs and design of cloud resources to host semantic applications ESIP-wide<br />
* We are collecting ideas for an [[Semantic_Web_Ontology_Portal_Evaluation_Approach | ontology portal evaluation ]]<br />
* We identified the following liaisons to external groups. These will be added to the main wiki page in the near future. The intent here is that these individuals are already active participants in external semantic-related groups. Liaisons volunteer to periodically report back to this committee on relevant developments and potential collaboration areas. If applicable, liaisons may help engage their groups on behalf of ESIP. The current approach for reporting is to allot 10 minutes at each future telecon for reporting out by liaisons. If more time is needed then liaisons should contact the chair prior to the call<br />

== January 27, 2016 ==<br />
Discussion continued on the transition from Cluster to Committee. The main focus of the call was on what the structure of the Committee and its short term objectives should be.<br />
* Tom and Beth would like the Committee to commit to an AWS server for the long-term hosting of ESIP semantic resources (such as the ontology portal, ESIP Linked Data, and possibly projects that complete the Testbed and need a permanent or semi-permanent home)<br />
** The process for what does and does not get deployed on this server is still an open question<br />
** Discussions have begun with ESIP Ex Com and other Clusters/Committees to think about reusing Technology Readiness Levels, software reuse policies, and cloud computing expertise<br />
** Security will certainly be an issue - this is noted, but no real policy/procedure at the moment<br />
** Cost was also discussed - we will touch base with Cloud Computing Cluster and others with experience to get a better sense of exact resources needed and proper configuration<br />
** In general, everyone thought this was something the Committee should commit to, but discussion needs to continue on above issues<br />
<br />
* What are other areas the Committee should commit its resources to?<br />
** It was suggested (Nancy) that Hackathons could be an ideal way to engage others in ESIP - hands-on themed hacking where we address a current ESIP problem or limitation<br />
** Semantic themed events are a possibility. For example, extra drink tickets at an ESIP meeting for participating in semantic demo session or best use of semantic technologies<br />
** Engagement with external semantic groups is needed - a google doc is being generated to list high-priority groups and look for existing ESIP members who may volunteer to be liaisons to these groups<br />
*** The google doc is available for editing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGWiOjm16iUrn8JQEZ7JAbjnGvGnZZJgBXk7Xztsz-I/edit?usp=sharing here]<br />
<br />
* Budget is currently under development and will soon be submitted to ESIP<br />
** current items include AWS server, student fellows, travel (to be spread amongst committee members as needed)<br />
** any other thoughts/ideas please share<br />
<br />
* Topic for next call (February 23) is ontology governance. There are some notes and some thoughts on one possible implementation [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Ontology_Governance here]. Please review and bring ideas/comments to the next call<br />
<br />
== September 23, 2015 ==<br />
[http://www.michellecheatham.com/ Michelle Cheatham ] presented on Ontology Design Patterns. The presentation is available here: [[File:ODP_introduction.pdf]]<br />
<br />
The links mentioned in the presentation are:<br />
[http://schema.geolink.org GeoLink Schema] and [http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Main_Page OntologyDesignPatterns.org]<br />
<br />
* John Graybeal mentioned that work on his ontology portal was resuming after a short hiatus<br />
* John also mentioned the newly formed EarthCube Semantic Web Working Group. He invited everyone to join their telecons, which are the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9am<br />
* Discussion began on the cluster's use of OBO Foundry Principles for Ontology Governance<br />
** it was mentioned that not all of the principles may be needed<br />
** it was mentioned that enforcement of the principles we do adopt will need to be thought through<br />
** the main portion of the discussion centered around if we should be in the business of hosting a production ontology portal at all. What is the sustainability model for such a portal? John Graybeal mentioned that there is the possibility that NSF EarthCube could fund the effort and ESIP would maintain it; however, this is not guaranteed at the moment.<br />
** Patrick West mentioned that we should be careful to distinguish between ontology repository and ontology registry. We clearly have use cases for both. Some people host their own ontologies and would just like to reference them in a registry while others need dedicated hosting. It is thought that the current ontology portal solutions would support both of these cases.<br />
** discussion will continue via email and at the next telecon<br />
<br />
== June, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
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:<br />
# ontology portal<br />
# ontology governance<br />
# long term infrastructure<br />
# [http://www.schema.org schema.org]<br />
# long term development plan (1-2 years)<br />
<br />
Other notes:<br />
* 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)<br />
<br />
Open questions:<br />
* Were any SW testbed projects submitted this year?<br />
* Are there any SW apps (either academic or private sector) ripe for presentation?<br />
* Is there someone available to talk about ODPs?<br />
** [http://www.geolink.org Geolink.org] would overlap nicely.<br />
<br />
== March, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
* A new special issue of Earth Science Informatics focusing on [http://link.springer.com/journal/12145/8/1/page/1 Semantic e-Science] is now available.<br />
<br />
* The [http://www.35igc.org/ 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 [https://www.allevents.co.za/ei/getdemo.ei?id=222&s=_3F00S0JZ9 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.<br />
<br />
* 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. <br />
<br />
* 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 [http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/ontologies semantic portal link], or [http://ec2-50-18-136-210.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ 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. <br />
<br />
* The Semantic Web Cluster will proceed with its application to move from ''cluster'' to ''committee'' after much positive feedback.<br />
<br />
== April, 2014 Telecon ==<br />
<br />
* Marshall Ma (RPI) presented on ontology engineering and ontology reuse in the context of the Global Change Information System. Slides available at: http://orion.tw.rpi.edu/~xgmatwc/20140422_Experience_GCISontology_engineering.ppt <br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
== March, 2014 Telecon ==<br />
* telecon cancelled due to competing workshops and meetings<br />
<br />
== February 25, 2014 Telecon ==<br />

<br />
Semantic Projects in which Committee members are involved in can be found in [[Strategic_Vision#Current_Projects|this section]] of the Strategic Vision document.<br />
<br />
Current Collaboration Areas<br />
# 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 [https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html Ontology Portal Evaluation] has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.<br />
# We are considering how to establish an [[Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap]].<br />
# We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what [[Ontology_Governance|governance]] looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)<br />
# In conjunction with ESIP's [[Products_and_Services| Products and Services]] we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse. <br />
# We are working with [[Cloud_Computing | ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster]] to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources<br />

<hr />
<div>= Linked Data as a Service (LDaaS) =<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
This document outlines the effort to, through the [http://cor.esipfed.org/ Community Ontology Repository] (COR), provide an LDaaS service to the Earth and Space Science Informatics community.<br />
<br />
== Why? ==<br />
COR enables data publishers to publish structured data which can be interlinked and become more useful. As of early 2019 COR is mostly being used as a repository for ontologies and other vocabularies. Limited information exists detailing additional uses therefore users do not know what they can do with the COR and hence do not understand how it could be useful for them. There is much more the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee (STC) could be doing with COR to promote and enable more widespread use of vocabularies and ontologies in knowledge-based systems.<br />
<br />
== What is LDaaS and how would it work? ==<br />
Put simply LDaaS would be an ESIP hosted service operated by STC which would provide the underlying software stack and networking requirements to enable data providers to publish structured data as linked data using their own URI's. Either they purchase the URI's they wish to use or else COR creates them on demand.<br />
SWEET is the primary example of how LDaaS would work<br />
* We chose and purchased a top-level domain namespace e.g. http://sweetontology.net<br />
* We put in place the HTTP redirects such that any requests to the above namespace resolve to the COR-service which both hosts and serves the SWEET resources.<br />
* The COR service also sits in the background enabling applications to query linked data resources via a standards-based query language over HTTP (SPARQL-over-HTTP).<br />
* The COR additionally provides application-specific functionality such as content negotiation.<br />
<br />
The existing COR administrators [https://github.com/ESIPFed/sweet/wiki/sweetontology.net have documented] how this works in practice. Essentially for each new resource, we replicate the document process which subsequently streamlines the publication process for data providers. They can then interact with data obtained through URI's as they would if they had provisioned a fully managed, correctly networked linked data software stack.<br />
<br />
This takes the concept of COR as a community ontology repository to something entirely new.<br />
<br />
== Methodology ==<br />
So, what are the proposed steps forward?<br />
STC are working on a small [https://www.esipfed.org/lab ESIP Labs] pilot proposal which will demonstrate the LDaaS capability. As of early 2019 two suitable data providers/customers have expressed interest in using a hosted service as described above. These parties are detailed as follows<br />

One future option we are already considering is to polish up the tooling and methods we use to provide Linked Data-as-a-Service packages or managed environments for others wanting to deliver LD as we do. Also, we are using the LD infrastructure & tooling we use as an implementation of Profile Negotiation, as per our recent Dataset Exchange Working Group profiles work (see https://www.w3.org/TR/dx-prof/ & http://www.linked.data.gov.au/dx-prof-conneg/) which would be useful to deliver ontology and other LD content in different ways for different audiences. So the LD tooling ([https://github.com/RDFLib/pyLDAPI pyLDAPI]) is under current development, in line with current standards development.</td><br />

<hr />
<div>SWEET is a highly modular ontology suite with ~6000 concepts in ~200 separate ontologies covering Earth system science. SWEET is a mid-level ontology and consists of nine top-level concepts that can be used as a foundation for domain-specific ontologies that extend these top-level SWEET components. SWEET’s own domain-specific ontologies, which extend the upper level ontologies, can provide users interested in further developing a particular domain with a solid set of concepts to get started. SWEET ontologies are written in W3C Turtle; the Terse RDF Triple Language and are publicly available under the Apache License v2.0.<br />

<div>''Back to [[Nomination_Committee/2019_Nominations_and_Ballot]]''<br />
<br />
Initially it's important for me to thank my colleagues at ESIP for the nomination to serve as the ESIP Semantic Technologies (SemTech) Chair. SemTech is a community I have grown to learn from, appreciate and very much enjoy working with and collaborating with over the last number of years. Although I would like to think I've learned a lot about the SemTech space (primarily outside of ESIP as an open source developer and enthusiast) over the last 10 or so years, I am always eager the learn from the wealth of knowledge present within the ESIP SemTech community. The nomination is something which I proudly and gladly accept.<br />
<br />
I'll continue now by providing two strands of commentary: <br />
# The first details what initiatives I involved myself with which aligned with the goals and aspirations of the SemTech Committee over the last number of years hence earning me some merit. This hopefully lays the essentially foundation for my qualification to act as Committee Chair, and <br />
# The latter simply details what I aim to do as Committee Chair. This involves in which direction I intend to drive activity and most importantly how we can grow the SemTech Committee beyond what we have already achieved.<br />
<br />
On #1 then, since attending my first ESIP Meeting in 2015 IIRC, I was immediately drawn to the SemTech Committee meeting where I found myself engaged in conversation with some of the existing community members. I later found out that these conversation would eventually lead into the establishment of an unofficial roadmap for the Committee at large. We discussed topics covering the establishment of an Annual GeoSemantics Symposium, of ESIP operating a Community Ontology Repository which should act as a hub for vocabulary and data providers. We spoke of the rejuvenation and development of core Earth science vocabulary such as the SWEET Ontology Suite. <br />
<br />
Post meeting, when I joined the teleconferences, I recognized the requirement for action to be taken on the things we, as a community, had discussed at the prior meeting. I therefore took it upon myself to make positive contributions, including the joint-organization of the GeoSemantics Symposium. This coming January the symposium, co-located with the ESIP Winter meeting, will be in it's 3rd year an will hopefully build on last years success which attracted some 50 attendees. <br />
<br />
To the best of my ability I have worked to advance and grow consensus around the establishment of a community ontology repository (COR) which leverages open source software and open development methodology to now provide a hub for the SemTech enthusiasts across ESIP and beyond. This has included a significant prior and ongoing degree of communication with ESIP Staff as well as core developers to ensure that we now have a stable service which we can provide education resources for in order to increase awareness and growth for the service. <br />
<br />
I took leadership in the transition of the SWEET Ontology Suite from JPL to ESIP which has allowed community growth, use and uptake across ESIP members and further afield at the OGC. I have found this work to be very rewarding as it was all too often I used to hear that people wanted to use SWEET but they were apprehensive as it has tied to JPL. What we've achieved with SWEET has enabled us to attract and collaborate with partners from Australia, Europe and of course the U.S. by providing a stable Semantic Web resource for describing Earth and environment terminology. <br />
<br />
On #2 my core plan would be to<br />
# ensure more overlap with the OGC's active GeoSemanticWeb community. ESIP's activity in the SemTech area should be better communicated to that international audience<br />
# ensure as presence at the U.S. Semantic Technologies Symposium 2019 which will bring together the U.S. Semantic Web community and begin forming a stronger research network<br />
# continue community development and releases of the SWEET Ontology Suite such that we can grow it to the de-facto semantic web and linked data resource for earth and environmental terminology<br />
# establish a SWEET Community Building Workshop; this will offer content from introductory level through to data mash ups, and development activities such as ontology alignment and the addition of documentation for SWEET<br />
# continue to endorse and evangelize the use of COR as a top tier linked data server for the earth science community. A technology publication for this topic demonstrating use cases and uptake would be the initial step<br />
# update the previous work undertaken by Peter Fox et al. on the Semantic Technologies Infusion Roadmap and Hype Cycle. This is a critical component of us ensuring that SemTech Committee remains relevant in todays technology space.</div>Lmcgibbnhttps://wiki.esipfed.org/w/index.php?title=L_McGibbney_Statement&diff=65905L McGibbney Statement2018-11-08T00:38:54Z<p>Lmcgibbn: </p>

<div>= Discovery Cluster Winter Plenary Planning 2018 =<br />
<br />
== DRAFT Session Proposal == <br />
ESIP Discovery Cluster Winter Plenary 2018<br />
<br />
'''Title:'''<br />
Wildfires, Hurricanes, and Drought Oh My! Evaluating the role of earth science data discovery and accessibility in evaluating socioeconomic impacts from severe weather events and mitigating future shocks.<br />
<br />
'''Scope:''' <br />
The ESIP Discovery Cluster proposes to host a plenary panel discussion on how to enable discovery of earth science data that support socioeconomic value and benefit of Earth science data. In this session, we will investigate the use of high value data sets that are incorporated into economic impact assessments with particular emphasis on severe weather events. This moderated discussion will focus questions to the panel on what earth science datasets are used to in their analyses, search techniques and tools used to locate relevant datasets, shortcomings with existing tools and potential solutions to improving the discoverability and accessibility of the data.<br />
<br />
'''Takeaways:'''<br />
# Insight into how key datasets sourced from across a diverse landscape are used to mitigate against the impacts of natural disasters<br />
# Understand, from a discovery and accessibility perspective, how IT infrastructure supports prevention and reaction scenarios<br />
<br />
'''Potential Speakers:'''<br />
* Bob Downs - SEDAC<br />
* Hook Hua, Woody Turner, Lawrenece Friedel - NASA<br />
* Joshua Behr - VMASC<br />
* Ellen Mecray - NOAA NCEI's Regional Climate Service<br />

David Moroni, Erin Robinson, Ge Peng, Hampapuram Ramapriyan, Lewis McGibbney, Robert Downs. Annie Burgess, Dave Neufeld<br />
<br />
Apologies<br />
<br />
Agenda:<br />
<br />
Discuss the logistics of planning a plenary<br />
Erin and Lewis to carry this back to Data Discovery Committee<br />
<br />
Minutes:<br />
* Discussion regarding Information Quality Cluster's sessions at Summer 2017 ESIP Meeting:<br />
** Focused discussion on uncertainty required experts. This topic seemed to always be difficult to engage with as it required expert input which was difficult to obtain. <br />
** List of experts was put together months before. <br />
** Information Quality Cluster held a vote. Votes were collected in a Google Spreadsheet with voting being anonymous. There was an concerted effort to invite panelists from different perspectives.<br />
** Invitations to the experts were sent out. Invitations included a clear indication of what the IQC members were hoping to get from the speakers and a set of key questions they were asked to address. <br />
** This resulted in 4 experts. The experts were from different sectors. <br />
** Three spoke at the plenary and the fourth at the breakout session (see below).<br />
** Speakers were contacted and a template was devised to communicate a clear message as to what was required for the plenary and from their background as an expert.<br />
** Two planning meetings took place prior to ESIP. The first planning meeting was 5-6 weeks prior to ESIP, the second was 2-3 weeks prior. The meetings enabled both organizers and panel members to contribute to content. Speakers were able to present ideas and receive feedback from organizers. The content worked best when it was tailored to non-experts in the topic area. <br />
** Support from ESIP: $5,000 was provided by ESIP to cover plenary speaker travel costs. Additionally, one day registration was covered or a discount towards registration if they planned to stay for the entire meeting. (Each of the plenary speakers chose to attend just one day of the meeting).<br />
** Plenary organizers coordinated introduction speeches so they were flowing smoothly and without too much overlapping; Plenary organizers also developed the social plans for introducing our two sessions and speakers to the ESIP community before and during the mtg/session(s).<br />
** 45 minute plenary with immediate follow-up session directly after (i.e., right after lunch). Having a lunch break between the plenary and breakout sessions was helpful in getting prepared for the breakout session by identifying key issues raised at the plenary to continue a productive discussion of the issues.<br />
** The two sessions resulted in action items which have resulted in a proposed session for ESIP Winter 2018 meeting. An additional output was that an agreement was reached to work on a white paper which covered a large breadth of Earth Science.<br />
<br />
Discovery Cluster's Plenary<br />
* The original potential topic for the Discovery cluster’s plenary involves the selection of key datasets from ESIP constituent members and then focusing on discovery tools which make use of these datasets for some socioeconomic purpose.<br />
* Ideas for Plenary Panel speakers involve (Wednesday, Jan 10)<br />
** Bob Downs, SEDAC<br />
** Hook Hua, JPL (ARIA, Emergency Response)<br />
** Someone from the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center<br />
<br />
Plenary speakers for Tuesday (Jan 9)<br />
* Ann Bartuska, Resources for the Future (Plenary day before) <br />
* NOAA Chief Economist (DoC) <br />
<br />
Other Q's and notes<br />
* Q: Is the reason for the plenary to understand difficulties people face when using tools? <br />
* It would be useful to get a scope statement together which summarizes the plenary<br />
* It would be good to provide the scope statement and expectations from the invited speakers while inviting them to speak<br />
* It would be useful to invite people together from both ends of the spectrum e.g. a problem person and a solutions person.<br />
<br />
=== Action Items === <br />
# Scope statement needs to be produced which summarizes the plenary<br />
# Clarify and formalize the list of speakers for the plenary</div>Lmcgibbnhttps://wiki.esipfed.org/w/index.php?title=GeoSemantics2017&diff=62684GeoSemantics20172017-10-31T19:56:32Z<p>Lmcgibbn: </p>

Current Collaboration Areas<br />
# 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 [https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html Ontology Portal Evaluation] has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.<br />
# We are considering how to establish an [[Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap]].<br />
# We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what [[Ontology_Governance|governance]] looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)<br />
# In conjunction with ESIP's [[Products_and_Services| Products and Services]] we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse. <br />
# We are working with [[Cloud_Computing | ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster]] to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources<br />

===Apologies===<br />
===Discussion Items===<br />
* 2017 work plan-<br />
* ESDA collaboration <br />
* Drone cluster collaboration<br />
* Poster session at RDA 9th Plenary meeting - due March 12 (meeting is April 5-7) - I'd like to have a SemTech Committee poster at RDA. We have a poster that we presented at the ESIP Winter Meeting, which could also be presented at the RDA meeting. Are there other ideas for a Sem Tech poster at RDA?<br />
* Update on ontology portal evaluation - not much here, but I can fill people in on what Erin and I agreed to with respect to the evaluation process and the final adjudication.<br />
* Update on Semantic Tech Roadmap - Bhaskar drafted an outline of the roadmap, which I'd like to make available for people to comment on. We could review it at the meeting tomorrow, and put it on the wiki and ask people to comment, suggest revisions, etc. (or is google docs better for this?)<br />
* (Recurring Item) Tools and Services: introduce recurring item where people can talk through what they’re working on and what resources they know of.<br />

==24 January 2017==<br />
Attendees: Tom Narock, Beth Huffer, Andrea Thomer, Bruce Caron, Mike Huhns, Robert Groman, Robert Arko<br />
<br />
Beth: <br />
Wants to get everyone thinking about 2017 workplan<br />
* ESIP community as a whole is working on developing a 2017 workplan, and we should submit something for the SWTC.<br />
* Beth will probably pull together a brief outline and send it out to the larger ESIP community strategic plan.<br />
* Need to focus on doing serious outreach – get the prospective adopters together with implementers, and finding ways for them to work together.<br />
** What groups or organizations have problems that could be solved with ST under development by ESIP?<br />
* Talked with Lindsey Barbieri (Bar) – as part of the ESDA.<br />
** Lots of use cases and cluster members in search of solutions<br />
** Planning on working together a lot over the next year<br />
** Might get prospective ESDA adopters to give presentations over the year<br />
<br />
Lewis can't make the meeting but they kicked off the earth science knowledge graph testbed project<br />
<br />
What will we do as a committee once we have the portals up and available? How will we evangelize the portals? <br />
* possibly have tutorials, to teach people how to use them/it<br />
<br />
Discussion:<br />
Mike – after settling on one portal, our goal should be to populate it. That will help attract people to use the portal.<br />
<br />
Beth – raises the issue of use cases; wants us to continue developing and fleshing out use cases, for the portal but also more generally for semantics. Could be done w/ESDA cluster.<br />
Want to start mapping between requirements and solutions<br />
Will put out a call to people working on the ontologies and encourage them to use the portal as a repository for those ontologies.<br />
<br />
Bruce – Wanted to note that ESIP overall is hoping the clusters/committees use the time each month, even if it's a short call. If people can't make it, then Bruce will start the call. If we need to have a call on a separate date, can do that too – but ESIP prefers the committee times to stay pretty regular.<br />
<br />
Beth – hoping that we'll expand our vision of what constitutes semantic technologies.<br />
* recognize role of ontologies, but also think about ways that ontologies can be leveraged<br />
* e.g. NLP, machine learning, topic modeling, things that leverage deductive reasoning and other things that go with ontologies.<br />
* Should invite people who are using ML or NLP to give talks and see how we might collaborate.<br />
<br />
Bob Groman: Would be useful to know what difficulties people have in using semantic technologies. Why are some groups not implementing the tech? What makes it hard to implement the tech?<br />
<br />
Beth: Agreed, there is an adoption problem. Why, and what problems are they having?<br />
* could we have tutorials, time outside the monthly meeting for portal tutorials?<br />
* Or tutorials on how to use an ontology! Once you've found it, how do you use it?<br />
<br />
Robert Arko: would like to see linked data included in that tech stack<br />
<br />
Beth: agreed, thinks we could muster some broader enthusiasm with that broader focus. <br />
<br />
Arko: Like Adam Shepard's presentation at the symposium with lots of examples – would be great to invite people to give short 3-5 min lightning talks. Might be more inviting, and might be more focused. P<br />
<br />
Beth: would be good to get short talks from both adopters and developers<br />
<br />
Clarification on the repository selection process:<br />
* Using Annie Burgess' SW eval process that she developed for the NASA information system tech program<br />
* Eval is on hold until Annie is back from maternity leave on March 1<br />
* Beth will talk with Erin to see if there's anything we can do to get ready.<br />
<br />
<br />
== October 25, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Budget Approval<br />
** The ESIP Finance Committee has approved all of the items requested in this year's budget. Our theme is outreach and collaboration. ESIP has approved external outreach by approving travel to RDA and the EarthCube All Hands meeting. We have also been approved to host a one day GeoSemantics Symposium the day before the Winter Meeting starts. The goal of the symposium is to bring together ESIP clusters and committees, along with external groups, and begin discussing collaborations and road mapping to maximize reuse and avoid duplication of efforts. Logistics for the symposium are just beginning. The agenda will begin to take shape over the next few weeks. Those with suggestions on topics or format are encouraged to reach out to Tom and Beth.<br />
* ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposals<br />
** Session proposals are due October 31. Two topics emerged on the call. The ToolMatch group will host a hands-on session to map datasets and tools. A second idea emerged for a "Semantic Community Engagement Plan" that would cover ontology governance plans, leveraging other communities, finding/identifying/promoting ontologies via the portal. Details on this second session will be worked out in the next few days.<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Annie provided an updated on the portal evaluations. Use cases have been identified to use in the evaluation. Reviewers have also been identified; however, the reviewers have not yet committed to the reviews. Annie will be out starting mid-November on maternity leave. The group all agreed we should not try to rush and start the review process before Annie leaves. Ontology portal evaluations will be put on hold and will resume around March 2017.<br />
* Semantic Roadmap<br />
** Bhaskar provided an update on the roadmap efforts. He will circulate the latest version of the Google Doc and the group will work to identify writers for each section. Ruth suggested a distributed approach in which writers get only a paragraph or two to write and it becomes a distributed writing effort. We'll review at the November call who has shown interest in contributing<br />
* Collaboration Area Poster<br />
** ESIP has requested one poster from each cluster and committee to be displayed at the Winter Meeting. These posters will be up throughout the entire ESIP meeting not just at the poster session. Beth had created a similar poster last year to highlight our committee. She will make that poster available and we can collaboratively edit it.<br />
<br />
== September 27, 2016 ==<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Erin provided an overview of how ESIP was providing evaluations for NASA projects and was expanding into a more general framework for software and project evaluations. This new evaluation framework will be used to provide an independent evaluation of our two ontology portals. The evaluations will try to cover a number of facets including cost, maintenance and support options, functionality, and science use case evaluation<br />
** Annie continued the discussion with a call for use cases, which will be supplied to the evaluation committee. Beth, Lewis, and others have already contributed several use cases to a github repository at https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html. Everyone is asked to review the use cases for detail and clarity. Ensure that the actors and workflow are clear and unambiguous. For example, is it clear who the "user" is (developer, domain scientist, etc.)?<br />
** Beth and Mike Huhns volunteered to review the use cases. Others are encourage to do so as well. All feedback needs to be sent to Annie B. by October 12 so that the evaluation can can begin<br />
* Road Map<br />
** Bhaskar gave an overview of his objectives for a Semantic Web Roadmap<br />
** He suggests something that is more fundamental than the EarthCube roadmap from a few years ago<br />
** For example, what is the basic value proposition of the Semantic Web? How and where can it add value to Earth Sciences<br />
** A preliminary outline was sent around to the committee via email. Bhaskhar is currently evaluating existing efforts in this area and will soon (next week) produce a shared google doc for collaborative editing on the sections of the roadmap<br />
** Ruth suggested that we identify folks who can dig into repositories and data centers to really get at the value proposition<br />
** Several open access outlets are being considered for the final publication. A draft is anticipated by the Winter 2017 ESIP meeting<br />
* RDA Collaboration<br />
** Soren presented a possible RDA collaboration involving ontology governance<br />
** RDA VSIG is seeking exemplars of open source governance models. It was suggested that the SWEET model could be put forward as an ESIP exemplar. <br />
** Ruth volunteered to also present her work on the sea ice ontologies and their model<br />
** It was suggested that Ruth, Lewis, and anyone else interested, form a temporary subgroup to document and discuss the existing models and prepare a submission to RDA. Ruth will be traveling for the next few weeks and Lewis was not at this call. We will reach out to Lewis and continue the discussion offline once Ruth returns.<br />
* Announcements<br />
** Ruth mentioned that Purls are becoming available again via Internet archive. Good news for existing ontologies that use Purl URIs<br />
<br />
== May 24, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** The summer meeting will be used to gather feedback from the broader ESIP community on which features and functionality are needed in a portal<br />
** The Business and Planning session at the summer meeting will be used to further discuss our plans for what the evaluation will look like<br />
** There was a lot of discussion on the two current portals, their functionality, how they handle versioning, and how they handle URIs<br />
** John proposed a URI scheme for his portal: http://esipsw.org/ont/<authority>/<ontname>/<termID><br />
*** there was some concern about the new domain<br />
*** John and Tom will work with Erin to see what our options are for using http://esipfed.org<br />
* Business and Planning session at the summer meeting<br />
** current agenda includes an open discussion on an open source SWEET and what that would entail and continued discussion on the ontology portal evaluation<br />
** any additional agenda items should be sent to Tom<br />
* Cloud Access<br />
** We have been offered access to EarthCube's cloud infrastructure for testing of semantic applications<br />
** It was determined that this may be premature for our group. The ontology portal already has an AWS instance and other applications are not yet ready for this type of deployment. The group would also like to wait to see the outcomes of upcoming EarthCube meetings to see how this cloud infrastructure will fit into the technology architecture and long term vision of EarthCube<br />
<br />
== March 22, 2016 ==<br />
* Discussion on sessions for the summer meeting. Session proposals are due April 1.<br />
** We currently have 3 session ideas on the table. 1.) a general Semantic Technologies business and planning session - possibly to include a ToolMatch component, 2.) a tutorial on Linked Data, creating a scheme, publishing and consuming semantic content, and 3.) a tutorial/discussion on what ontologies are currently available, how to find them, and what can I do with them once found<br />
** There is also a related session being put together by Soren Scott regarding software readiness levels and governance. The topics will be relevant to our committee as we begin to deploy cloud resources to host semantic projects<br />
* Phil Yang and Emily Law are beginning an initial study on costs and design of cloud resources to host semantic applications ESIP-wide<br />
* We are collecting ideas for an [[Semantic_Web_Ontology_Portal_Evaluation_Approach | ontology portal evaluation ]]<br />
* We identified the following liaisons to external groups. These will be added to the main wiki page in the near future. The intent here is that these individuals are already active participants in external semantic-related groups. Liaisons volunteer to periodically report back to this committee on relevant developments and potential collaboration areas. If applicable, liaisons may help engage their groups on behalf of ESIP. The current approach for reporting is to allot 10 minutes at each future telecon for reporting out by liaisons. If more time is needed then liaisons should contact the chair prior to the call<br />
** Ruth Duerr - EarthCube Semantics Working Group<br />
** Brandon Whitehead - Open Geospatial Consortium and RDA - particular focus on GeoSciML, ESD WG and HydroWG, RDA Provenance Group<br />
** Soren Scott - RDA Provenance WG<br />
** Stephen Richard - RDA Vocab Services, Terminology IG, and DataType Registry WG<br />

<br />
== January 27, 2016 ==<br />
Discussion continued on the transition from Cluster to Committee. The main focus of the call was on what the structure of the Committee and its short term objectives should be.<br />
* Tom and Beth would like the Committee to commit to an AWS server for the long-term hosting of ESIP semantic resources (such as the ontology portal, ESIP Linked Data, and possibly projects that complete the Testbed and need a permanent or semi-permanent home)<br />
** The process for what does and does not get deployed on this server is still an open question<br />
** Discussions have begun with ESIP Ex Com and other Clusters/Committees to think about reusing Technology Readiness Levels, software reuse policies, and cloud computing expertise<br />
** Security will certainly be an issue - this is noted, but no real policy/procedure at the moment<br />
** Cost was also discussed - we will touch base with Cloud Computing Cluster and others with experience to get a better sense of exact resources needed and proper configuration<br />
** In general, everyone thought this was something the Committee should commit to, but discussion needs to continue on above issues<br />
<br />
* What are other areas the Committee should commit its resources to?<br />
** It was suggested (Nancy) that Hackathons could be an ideal way to engage others in ESIP - hands-on themed hacking where we address a current ESIP problem or limitation<br />
** Semantic themed events are a possibility. For example, extra drink tickets at an ESIP meeting for participating in semantic demo session or best use of semantic technologies<br />
** Engagement with external semantic groups is needed - a google doc is being generated to list high-priority groups and look for existing ESIP members who may volunteer to be liaisons to these groups<br />
*** The google doc is available for editing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGWiOjm16iUrn8JQEZ7JAbjnGvGnZZJgBXk7Xztsz-I/edit?usp=sharing here]<br />
<br />
* Budget is currently under development and will soon be submitted to ESIP<br />
** current items include AWS server, student fellows, travel (to be spread amongst committee members as needed)<br />
** any other thoughts/ideas please share<br />
<br />
* Topic for next call (February 23) is ontology governance. There are some notes and some thoughts on one possible implementation [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Ontology_Governance here]. Please review and bring ideas/comments to the next call<br />
<br />
== September 23, 2015 ==<br />
[http://www.michellecheatham.com/ Michelle Cheatham ] presented on Ontology Design Patterns. The presentation is available here: [[File:ODP_introduction.pdf]]<br />
<br />
The links mentioned in the presentation are:<br />
[http://schema.geolink.org GeoLink Schema] and [http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Main_Page OntologyDesignPatterns.org]<br />
<br />
* John Graybeal mentioned that work on his ontology portal was resuming after a short hiatus<br />
* John also mentioned the newly formed EarthCube Semantic Web Working Group. He invited everyone to join their telecons, which are the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9am<br />
* Discussion began on the cluster's use of OBO Foundry Principles for Ontology Governance<br />
** it was mentioned that not all of the principles may be needed<br />
** it was mentioned that enforcement of the principles we do adopt will need to be thought through<br />
** the main portion of the discussion centered around if we should be in the business of hosting a production ontology portal at all. What is the sustainability model for such a portal? John Graybeal mentioned that there is the possibility that NSF EarthCube could fund the effort and ESIP would maintain it; however, this is not guaranteed at the moment.<br />
** Patrick West mentioned that we should be careful to distinguish between ontology repository and ontology registry. We clearly have use cases for both. Some people host their own ontologies and would just like to reference them in a registry while others need dedicated hosting. It is thought that the current ontology portal solutions would support both of these cases.<br />
** discussion will continue via email and at the next telecon<br />
<br />
== June, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
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:<br />
# ontology portal<br />
# ontology governance<br />
# long term infrastructure<br />
# [http://www.schema.org schema.org]<br />
# long term development plan (1-2 years)<br />
<br />
Other notes:<br />
* 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)<br />
<br />
Open questions:<br />
* Were any SW testbed projects submitted this year?<br />
* Are there any SW apps (either academic or private sector) ripe for presentation?<br />
* Is there someone available to talk about ODPs?<br />
** [http://www.geolink.org Geolink.org] would overlap nicely.<br />
<br />
== March, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
* A new special issue of Earth Science Informatics focusing on [http://link.springer.com/journal/12145/8/1/page/1 Semantic e-Science] is now available.<br />
<br />
* The [http://www.35igc.org/ 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 [https://www.allevents.co.za/ei/getdemo.ei?id=222&s=_3F00S0JZ9 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.<br />
<br />
* 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. <br />
<br />
* 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 [http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/ontologies semantic portal link], or [http://ec2-50-18-136-210.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ 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. <br />
<br />
* The Semantic Web Cluster will proceed with its application to move from ''cluster'' to ''committee'' after much positive feedback.<br />
<br />
== April, 2014 Telecon ==<br />
<br />
* Marshall Ma (RPI) presented on ontology engineering and ontology reuse in the context of the Global Change Information System. Slides available at: http://orion.tw.rpi.edu/~xgmatwc/20140422_Experience_GCISontology_engineering.ppt <br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
== March, 2014 Telecon ==<br />

==24 January 2017==<br />
Attendees: Tom Narock, Beth Huffer, Andrea Thomer, Bruce Caron, Mike Huhns, Robert Groman, Robert Arko<br />
<br />
Beth: <br />
Wants to get everyone thinking about 2017 workplan<br />
* ESIP community as a whole is working on developing a 2017 workplan, and we should submit something for the SWTC.<br />
* Beth will probably pull together a brief outline and send it out to the larger ESIP community strategic plan.<br />
* Need to focus on doing serious outreach – get the prospective adopters together with implementers, and finding ways for them to work together.<br />
** What groups or organizations have problems that could be solved with ST under development by ESIP?<br />
* Talked with Lindsey Barbieri (Bar) – as part of the ESDA.<br />
** Lots of use cases and cluster members in search of solutions<br />
** Planning on working together a lot over the next year<br />
** Might get prospective ESDA adopters to give presentations over the year<br />
<br />
Lewis can't make the meeting but they kicked off the earth science knowledge graph testbed project<br />
<br />
What will we do as a committee once we have the portals up and available? How will we evangelize the portals? <br />
* possibly have tutorials, to teach people how to use them/it<br />
<br />
Discussion:<br />
Mike – after settling on one portal, our goal should be to populate it. That will help attract people to use the portal.<br />
<br />
Beth – raises the issue of use cases; wants us to continue developing and fleshing out use cases, for the portal but also more generally for semantics. Could be done w/ESDA cluster.<br />
Want to start mapping between requirements and solutions<br />
Will put out a call to people working on the ontologies and encourage them to use the portal as a repository for those ontologies.<br />
<br />
Bruce – Wanted to note that ESIP overall is hoping the clusters/committees use the time each month, even if it's a short call. If people can't make it, then Bruce will start the call. If we need to have a call on a separate date, can do that too – but ESIP prefers the committee times to stay pretty regular.<br />
<br />
Beth – hoping that we'll expand our vision of what constitutes semantic technologies.<br />
* recognize role of ontologies, but also think about ways that ontologies can be leveraged<br />
* e.g. NLP, machine learning, topic modeling, things that leverage deductive reasoning and other things that go with ontologies.<br />
* Should invite people who are using ML or NLP to give talks and see how we might collaborate.<br />
<br />
Bob Groman: Would be useful to know what difficulties people have in using semantic technologies. Why are some groups not implementing the tech? What makes it hard to implement the tech?<br />
<br />
Beth: Agreed, there is an adoption problem. Why, and what problems are they having?<br />
* could we have tutorials, time outside the monthly meeting for portal tutorials?<br />
* Or tutorials on how to use an ontology! Once you've found it, how do you use it?<br />
<br />
Robert Arko: would like to see linked data included in that tech stack<br />
<br />
Beth: agreed, thinks we could muster some broader enthusiasm with that broader focus. <br />
<br />
Arko: Like Adam Shepard's presentation at the symposium with lots of examples – would be great to invite people to give short 3-5 min lightning talks. Might be more inviting, and might be more focused. P<br />
<br />
Beth: would be good to get short talks from both adopters and developers<br />
<br />
Clarification on the repository selection process:<br />
* Using Annie Burgess' SW eval process that she developed for the NASA information system tech program<br />
* Eval is on hold until Annie is back from maternity leave on March 1<br />
* Beth will talk with Erin to see if there's anything we can do to get ready.<br />
<br />
<br />
== October 25, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Budget Approval<br />
** The ESIP Finance Committee has approved all of the items requested in this year's budget. Our theme is outreach and collaboration. ESIP has approved external outreach by approving travel to RDA and the EarthCube All Hands meeting. We have also been approved to host a one day GeoSemantics Symposium the day before the Winter Meeting starts. The goal of the symposium is to bring together ESIP clusters and committees, along with external groups, and begin discussing collaborations and road mapping to maximize reuse and avoid duplication of efforts. Logistics for the symposium are just beginning. The agenda will begin to take shape over the next few weeks. Those with suggestions on topics or format are encouraged to reach out to Tom and Beth.<br />
* ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposals<br />
** Session proposals are due October 31. Two topics emerged on the call. The ToolMatch group will host a hands-on session to map datasets and tools. A second idea emerged for a "Semantic Community Engagement Plan" that would cover ontology governance plans, leveraging other communities, finding/identifying/promoting ontologies via the portal. Details on this second session will be worked out in the next few days.<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Annie provided an updated on the portal evaluations. Use cases have been identified to use in the evaluation. Reviewers have also been identified; however, the reviewers have not yet committed to the reviews. Annie will be out starting mid-November on maternity leave. The group all agreed we should not try to rush and start the review process before Annie leaves. Ontology portal evaluations will be put on hold and will resume around March 2017.<br />
* Semantic Roadmap<br />
** Bhaskar provided an update on the roadmap efforts. He will circulate the latest version of the Google Doc and the group will work to identify writers for each section. Ruth suggested a distributed approach in which writers get only a paragraph or two to write and it becomes a distributed writing effort. We'll review at the November call who has shown interest in contributing<br />
* Collaboration Area Poster<br />
** ESIP has requested one poster from each cluster and committee to be displayed at the Winter Meeting. These posters will be up throughout the entire ESIP meeting not just at the poster session. Beth had created a similar poster last year to highlight our committee. She will make that poster available and we can collaboratively edit it.<br />
<br />
== September 27, 2016 ==<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Erin provided an overview of how ESIP was providing evaluations for NASA projects and was expanding into a more general framework for software and project evaluations. This new evaluation framework will be used to provide an independent evaluation of our two ontology portals. The evaluations will try to cover a number of facets including cost, maintenance and support options, functionality, and science use case evaluation<br />
** Annie continued the discussion with a call for use cases, which will be supplied to the evaluation committee. Beth, Lewis, and others have already contributed several use cases to a github repository at https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html. Everyone is asked to review the use cases for detail and clarity. Ensure that the actors and workflow are clear and unambiguous. For example, is it clear who the "user" is (developer, domain scientist, etc.)?<br />
** Beth and Mike Huhns volunteered to review the use cases. Others are encourage to do so as well. All feedback needs to be sent to Annie B. by October 12 so that the evaluation can can begin<br />
* Road Map<br />
** Bhaskar gave an overview of his objectives for a Semantic Web Roadmap<br />
** He suggests something that is more fundamental than the EarthCube roadmap from a few years ago<br />
** For example, what is the basic value proposition of the Semantic Web? How and where can it add value to Earth Sciences<br />
** A preliminary outline was sent around to the committee via email. Bhaskhar is currently evaluating existing efforts in this area and will soon (next week) produce a shared google doc for collaborative editing on the sections of the roadmap<br />
** Ruth suggested that we identify folks who can dig into repositories and data centers to really get at the value proposition<br />
** Several open access outlets are being considered for the final publication. A draft is anticipated by the Winter 2017 ESIP meeting<br />
* RDA Collaboration<br />
** Soren presented a possible RDA collaboration involving ontology governance<br />
** RDA VSIG is seeking exemplars of open source governance models. It was suggested that the SWEET model could be put forward as an ESIP exemplar. <br />
** Ruth volunteered to also present her work on the sea ice ontologies and their model<br />
** It was suggested that Ruth, Lewis, and anyone else interested, form a temporary subgroup to document and discuss the existing models and prepare a submission to RDA. Ruth will be traveling for the next few weeks and Lewis was not at this call. We will reach out to Lewis and continue the discussion offline once Ruth returns.<br />
* Announcements<br />
** Ruth mentioned that Purls are becoming available again via Internet archive. Good news for existing ontologies that use Purl URIs<br />
<br />
== May 24, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** The summer meeting will be used to gather feedback from the broader ESIP community on which features and functionality are needed in a portal<br />
** The Business and Planning session at the summer meeting will be used to further discuss our plans for what the evaluation will look like<br />
** There was a lot of discussion on the two current portals, their functionality, how they handle versioning, and how they handle URIs<br />
** John proposed a URI scheme for his portal: http://esipsw.org/ont/<authority>/<ontname>/<termID><br />
*** there was some concern about the new domain<br />
*** John and Tom will work with Erin to see what our options are for using http://esipfed.org<br />
* Business and Planning session at the summer meeting<br />
** current agenda includes an open discussion on an open source SWEET and what that would entail and continued discussion on the ontology portal evaluation<br />
** any additional agenda items should be sent to Tom<br />
* Cloud Access<br />
** We have been offered access to EarthCube's cloud infrastructure for testing of semantic applications<br />
** It was determined that this may be premature for our group. The ontology portal already has an AWS instance and other applications are not yet ready for this type of deployment. The group would also like to wait to see the outcomes of upcoming EarthCube meetings to see how this cloud infrastructure will fit into the technology architecture and long term vision of EarthCube<br />
<br />
== March 22, 2016 ==<br />
* Discussion on sessions for the summer meeting. Session proposals are due April 1.<br />
** We currently have 3 session ideas on the table. 1.) a general Semantic Technologies business and planning session - possibly to include a ToolMatch component, 2.) a tutorial on Linked Data, creating a scheme, publishing and consuming semantic content, and 3.) a tutorial/discussion on what ontologies are currently available, how to find them, and what can I do with them once found<br />
** There is also a related session being put together by Soren Scott regarding software readiness levels and governance. The topics will be relevant to our committee as we begin to deploy cloud resources to host semantic projects<br />
* Phil Yang and Emily Law are beginning an initial study on costs and design of cloud resources to host semantic applications ESIP-wide<br />
* We are collecting ideas for an [[Semantic_Web_Ontology_Portal_Evaluation_Approach | ontology portal evaluation ]]<br />
* We identified the following liaisons to external groups. These will be added to the main wiki page in the near future. The intent here is that these individuals are already active participants in external semantic-related groups. Liaisons volunteer to periodically report back to this committee on relevant developments and potential collaboration areas. If applicable, liaisons may help engage their groups on behalf of ESIP. The current approach for reporting is to allot 10 minutes at each future telecon for reporting out by liaisons. If more time is needed then liaisons should contact the chair prior to the call<br />

== January 27, 2016 ==<br />
Discussion continued on the transition from Cluster to Committee. The main focus of the call was on what the structure of the Committee and its short term objectives should be.<br />
* Tom and Beth would like the Committee to commit to an AWS server for the long-term hosting of ESIP semantic resources (such as the ontology portal, ESIP Linked Data, and possibly projects that complete the Testbed and need a permanent or semi-permanent home)<br />
** The process for what does and does not get deployed on this server is still an open question<br />
** Discussions have begun with ESIP Ex Com and other Clusters/Committees to think about reusing Technology Readiness Levels, software reuse policies, and cloud computing expertise<br />
** Security will certainly be an issue - this is noted, but no real policy/procedure at the moment<br />
** Cost was also discussed - we will touch base with Cloud Computing Cluster and others with experience to get a better sense of exact resources needed and proper configuration<br />
** In general, everyone thought this was something the Committee should commit to, but discussion needs to continue on above issues<br />
<br />
* What are other areas the Committee should commit its resources to?<br />
** It was suggested (Nancy) that Hackathons could be an ideal way to engage others in ESIP - hands-on themed hacking where we address a current ESIP problem or limitation<br />
** Semantic themed events are a possibility. For example, extra drink tickets at an ESIP meeting for participating in semantic demo session or best use of semantic technologies<br />
** Engagement with external semantic groups is needed - a google doc is being generated to list high-priority groups and look for existing ESIP members who may volunteer to be liaisons to these groups<br />
*** The google doc is available for editing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGWiOjm16iUrn8JQEZ7JAbjnGvGnZZJgBXk7Xztsz-I/edit?usp=sharing here]<br />
<br />
* Budget is currently under development and will soon be submitted to ESIP<br />
** current items include AWS server, student fellows, travel (to be spread amongst committee members as needed)<br />
** any other thoughts/ideas please share<br />
<br />
* Topic for next call (February 23) is ontology governance. There are some notes and some thoughts on one possible implementation [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Ontology_Governance here]. Please review and bring ideas/comments to the next call<br />
<br />
== September 23, 2015 ==<br />
[http://www.michellecheatham.com/ Michelle Cheatham ] presented on Ontology Design Patterns. The presentation is available here: [[File:ODP_introduction.pdf]]<br />
<br />

<br />
* John Graybeal mentioned that work on his ontology portal was resuming after a short hiatus<br />
* John also mentioned the newly formed EarthCube Semantic Web Working Group. He invited everyone to join their telecons, which are the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9am<br />
* Discussion began on the cluster's use of OBO Foundry Principles for Ontology Governance<br />
** it was mentioned that not all of the principles may be needed<br />
** it was mentioned that enforcement of the principles we do adopt will need to be thought through<br />
** the main portion of the discussion centered around if we should be in the business of hosting a production ontology portal at all. What is the sustainability model for such a portal? John Graybeal mentioned that there is the possibility that NSF EarthCube could fund the effort and ESIP would maintain it; however, this is not guaranteed at the moment.<br />
** Patrick West mentioned that we should be careful to distinguish between ontology repository and ontology registry. We clearly have use cases for both. Some people host their own ontologies and would just like to reference them in a registry while others need dedicated hosting. It is thought that the current ontology portal solutions would support both of these cases.<br />
** discussion will continue via email and at the next telecon<br />
<br />
== June, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
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:<br />
# ontology portal<br />
# ontology governance<br />
# long term infrastructure<br />
# [http://www.schema.org schema.org]<br />
# long term development plan (1-2 years)<br />
<br />
Other notes:<br />
* 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)<br />
<br />
Open questions:<br />
* Were any SW testbed projects submitted this year?<br />
* Are there any SW apps (either academic or private sector) ripe for presentation?<br />
* Is there someone available to talk about ODPs?<br />
** [http://www.geolink.org Geolink.org] would overlap nicely.<br />
<br />
== March, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
* A new special issue of Earth Science Informatics focusing on [http://link.springer.com/journal/12145/8/1/page/1 Semantic e-Science] is now available.<br />
<br />
* The [http://www.35igc.org/ 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 [https://www.allevents.co.za/ei/getdemo.ei?id=222&s=_3F00S0JZ9 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.<br />
<br />
* 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. <br />
<br />
* 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 [http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/ontologies semantic portal link], or [http://ec2-50-18-136-210.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ 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. <br />
<br />
* The Semantic Web Cluster will proceed with its application to move from ''cluster'' to ''committee'' after much positive feedback.<br />
<br />
== April, 2014 Telecon ==<br />

<br />
* 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.<br />

* Update on Semantic Tech Roadmap - Bhaskar drafted an outline of the roadmap, which I'd like to make available for people to comment on. We could review it at the meeting tomorrow, and put it on the wiki and ask people to comment, suggest revisions, etc. (or is google docs better for this?)<br />

==24 January 2017==<br />
Attendees: Tom Narock, Beth Huffer, Andrea Thomer, Bruce Caron, Mike Huhns, Robert Groman, Robert Arko<br />
<br />
Beth: <br />
Wants to get everyone thinking about 2017 workplan<br />
* ESIP community as a whole is working on developing a 2017 workplan, and we should submit something for the SWTC.<br />
* Beth will probably pull together a brief outline and send it out to the larger ESIP community strategic plan.<br />
* Need to focus on doing serious outreach – get the prospective adopters together with implementers, and finding ways for them to work together.<br />
** What groups or organizations have problems that could be solved with ST under development by ESIP?<br />
* Talked with Lindsey Barbieri (Bar) – as part of the ESDA.<br />
** Lots of use cases and cluster members in search of solutions<br />
** Planning on working together a lot over the next year<br />
** Might get prospective ESDA adopters to give presentations over the year<br />
<br />
Lewis can't make the meeting but they kicked off the earth science knowledge graph testbed project<br />
<br />
What will we do as a committee once we have the portals up and available? How will we evangelize the portals? <br />
* possibly have tutorials, to teach people how to use them/it<br />
<br />
Discussion:<br />
Mike – after settling on one portal, our goal should be to populate it. That will help attract people to use the portal.<br />
<br />
Beth – raises the issue of use cases; wants us to continue developing and fleshing out use cases, for the portal but also more generally for semantics. Could be done w/ESDA cluster.<br />
Want to start mapping between requirements and solutions<br />
Will put out a call to people working on the ontologies and encourage them to use the portal as a repository for those ontologies.<br />
<br />
Bruce – Wanted to note that ESIP overall is hoping the clusters/committees use the time each month, even if it's a short call. If people can't make it, then Bruce will start the call. If we need to have a call on a separate date, can do that too – but ESIP prefers the committee times to stay pretty regular.<br />
<br />
Beth – hoping that we'll expand our vision of what constitutes semantic technologies.<br />
* recognize role of ontologies, but also think about ways that ontologies can be leveraged<br />
* e.g. NLP, machine learning, topic modeling, things that leverage deductive reasoning and other things that go with ontologies.<br />
* Should invite people who are using ML or NLP to give talks and see how we might collaborate.<br />
<br />
Bob Groman: Would be useful to know what difficulties people have in using semantic technologies. Why are some groups not implementing the tech? What makes it hard to implement the tech?<br />
<br />
Beth: Agreed, there is an adoption problem. Why, and what problems are they having?<br />
* could we have tutorials, time outside the monthly meeting for portal tutorials?<br />
* Or tutorials on how to use an ontology! Once you've found it, how do you use it?<br />
<br />
Robert Arko: would like to see linked data included in that tech stack<br />
<br />
Beth: agreed, thinks we could muster some broader enthusiasm with that broader focus. <br />
<br />
Arko: Like Adam Shepard's presentation at the symposium with lots of examples – would be great to invite people to give short 3-5 min lightning talks. Might be more inviting, and might be more focused. P<br />
<br />
Beth: would be good to get short talks from both adopters and developers<br />
<br />
Clarification on the repository selection process:<br />
* Using Annie Burgess' SW eval process that she developed for the NASA information system tech program<br />
* Eval is on hold until Annie is back from maternity leave on March 1<br />
* Beth will talk with Erin to see if there's anything we can do to get ready.<br />
<br />
<br />
== October 25, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Budget Approval<br />
** The ESIP Finance Committee has approved all of the items requested in this year's budget. Our theme is outreach and collaboration. ESIP has approved external outreach by approving travel to RDA and the EarthCube All Hands meeting. We have also been approved to host a one day GeoSemantics Symposium the day before the Winter Meeting starts. The goal of the symposium is to bring together ESIP clusters and committees, along with external groups, and begin discussing collaborations and road mapping to maximize reuse and avoid duplication of efforts. Logistics for the symposium are just beginning. The agenda will begin to take shape over the next few weeks. Those with suggestions on topics or format are encouraged to reach out to Tom and Beth.<br />
* ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposals<br />
** Session proposals are due October 31. Two topics emerged on the call. The ToolMatch group will host a hands-on session to map datasets and tools. A second idea emerged for a "Semantic Community Engagement Plan" that would cover ontology governance plans, leveraging other communities, finding/identifying/promoting ontologies via the portal. Details on this second session will be worked out in the next few days.<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Annie provided an updated on the portal evaluations. Use cases have been identified to use in the evaluation. Reviewers have also been identified; however, the reviewers have not yet committed to the reviews. Annie will be out starting mid-November on maternity leave. The group all agreed we should not try to rush and start the review process before Annie leaves. Ontology portal evaluations will be put on hold and will resume around March 2017.<br />
* Semantic Roadmap<br />
** Bhaskar provided an update on the roadmap efforts. He will circulate the latest version of the Google Doc and the group will work to identify writers for each section. Ruth suggested a distributed approach in which writers get only a paragraph or two to write and it becomes a distributed writing effort. We'll review at the November call who has shown interest in contributing<br />
* Collaboration Area Poster<br />
** ESIP has requested one poster from each cluster and committee to be displayed at the Winter Meeting. These posters will be up throughout the entire ESIP meeting not just at the poster session. Beth had created a similar poster last year to highlight our committee. She will make that poster available and we can collaboratively edit it.<br />
<br />
== September 27, 2016 ==<br />
* Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** Erin provided an overview of how ESIP was providing evaluations for NASA projects and was expanding into a more general framework for software and project evaluations. This new evaluation framework will be used to provide an independent evaluation of our two ontology portals. The evaluations will try to cover a number of facets including cost, maintenance and support options, functionality, and science use case evaluation<br />
** Annie continued the discussion with a call for use cases, which will be supplied to the evaluation committee. Beth, Lewis, and others have already contributed several use cases to a github repository at https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html. Everyone is asked to review the use cases for detail and clarity. Ensure that the actors and workflow are clear and unambiguous. For example, is it clear who the "user" is (developer, domain scientist, etc.)?<br />
** Beth and Mike Huhns volunteered to review the use cases. Others are encourage to do so as well. All feedback needs to be sent to Annie B. by October 12 so that the evaluation can can begin<br />
* Road Map<br />
** Bhaskar gave an overview of his objectives for a Semantic Web Roadmap<br />
** He suggests something that is more fundamental than the EarthCube roadmap from a few years ago<br />
** For example, what is the basic value proposition of the Semantic Web? How and where can it add value to Earth Sciences<br />
** A preliminary outline was sent around to the committee via email. Bhaskhar is currently evaluating existing efforts in this area and will soon (next week) produce a shared google doc for collaborative editing on the sections of the roadmap<br />
** Ruth suggested that we identify folks who can dig into repositories and data centers to really get at the value proposition<br />
** Several open access outlets are being considered for the final publication. A draft is anticipated by the Winter 2017 ESIP meeting<br />
* RDA Collaboration<br />
** Soren presented a possible RDA collaboration involving ontology governance<br />
** RDA VSIG is seeking exemplars of open source governance models. It was suggested that the SWEET model could be put forward as an ESIP exemplar. <br />
** Ruth volunteered to also present her work on the sea ice ontologies and their model<br />
** It was suggested that Ruth, Lewis, and anyone else interested, form a temporary subgroup to document and discuss the existing models and prepare a submission to RDA. Ruth will be traveling for the next few weeks and Lewis was not at this call. We will reach out to Lewis and continue the discussion offline once Ruth returns.<br />
* Announcements<br />
** Ruth mentioned that Purls are becoming available again via Internet archive. Good news for existing ontologies that use Purl URIs<br />
<br />
== May 24, 2016 ==<br />
* ESIP Ontology Portal Evaluation<br />
** The summer meeting will be used to gather feedback from the broader ESIP community on which features and functionality are needed in a portal<br />
** The Business and Planning session at the summer meeting will be used to further discuss our plans for what the evaluation will look like<br />
** There was a lot of discussion on the two current portals, their functionality, how they handle versioning, and how they handle URIs<br />
** John proposed a URI scheme for his portal: http://esipsw.org/ont/<authority>/<ontname>/<termID><br />
*** there was some concern about the new domain<br />
*** John and Tom will work with Erin to see what our options are for using http://esipfed.org<br />
* Business and Planning session at the summer meeting<br />
** current agenda includes an open discussion on an open source SWEET and what that would entail and continued discussion on the ontology portal evaluation<br />
** any additional agenda items should be sent to Tom<br />
* Cloud Access<br />
** We have been offered access to EarthCube's cloud infrastructure for testing of semantic applications<br />
** It was determined that this may be premature for our group. The ontology portal already has an AWS instance and other applications are not yet ready for this type of deployment. The group would also like to wait to see the outcomes of upcoming EarthCube meetings to see how this cloud infrastructure will fit into the technology architecture and long term vision of EarthCube<br />
<br />
== March 22, 2016 ==<br />
* Discussion on sessions for the summer meeting. Session proposals are due April 1.<br />
** We currently have 3 session ideas on the table. 1.) a general Semantic Technologies business and planning session - possibly to include a ToolMatch component, 2.) a tutorial on Linked Data, creating a scheme, publishing and consuming semantic content, and 3.) a tutorial/discussion on what ontologies are currently available, how to find them, and what can I do with them once found<br />
** There is also a related session being put together by Soren Scott regarding software readiness levels and governance. The topics will be relevant to our committee as we begin to deploy cloud resources to host semantic projects<br />
* Phil Yang and Emily Law are beginning an initial study on costs and design of cloud resources to host semantic applications ESIP-wide<br />
* We are collecting ideas for an [[Semantic_Web_Ontology_Portal_Evaluation_Approach | ontology portal evaluation ]]<br />
* We identified the following liaisons to external groups. These will be added to the main wiki page in the near future. The intent here is that these individuals are already active participants in external semantic-related groups. Liaisons volunteer to periodically report back to this committee on relevant developments and potential collaboration areas. If applicable, liaisons may help engage their groups on behalf of ESIP. The current approach for reporting is to allot 10 minutes at each future telecon for reporting out by liaisons. If more time is needed then liaisons should contact the chair prior to the call<br />

<br />
== January 27, 2016 ==<br />
Discussion continued on the transition from Cluster to Committee. The main focus of the call was on what the structure of the Committee and its short term objectives should be.<br />
* Tom and Beth would like the Committee to commit to an AWS server for the long-term hosting of ESIP semantic resources (such as the ontology portal, ESIP Linked Data, and possibly projects that complete the Testbed and need a permanent or semi-permanent home)<br />
** The process for what does and does not get deployed on this server is still an open question<br />
** Discussions have begun with ESIP Ex Com and other Clusters/Committees to think about reusing Technology Readiness Levels, software reuse policies, and cloud computing expertise<br />
** Security will certainly be an issue - this is noted, but no real policy/procedure at the moment<br />
** Cost was also discussed - we will touch base with Cloud Computing Cluster and others with experience to get a better sense of exact resources needed and proper configuration<br />
** In general, everyone thought this was something the Committee should commit to, but discussion needs to continue on above issues<br />
<br />
* What are other areas the Committee should commit its resources to?<br />
** It was suggested (Nancy) that Hackathons could be an ideal way to engage others in ESIP - hands-on themed hacking where we address a current ESIP problem or limitation<br />
** Semantic themed events are a possibility. For example, extra drink tickets at an ESIP meeting for participating in semantic demo session or best use of semantic technologies<br />
** Engagement with external semantic groups is needed - a google doc is being generated to list high-priority groups and look for existing ESIP members who may volunteer to be liaisons to these groups<br />
*** The google doc is available for editing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGWiOjm16iUrn8JQEZ7JAbjnGvGnZZJgBXk7Xztsz-I/edit?usp=sharing here]<br />
<br />
* Budget is currently under development and will soon be submitted to ESIP<br />
** current items include AWS server, student fellows, travel (to be spread amongst committee members as needed)<br />
** any other thoughts/ideas please share<br />
<br />
* Topic for next call (February 23) is ontology governance. There are some notes and some thoughts on one possible implementation [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Ontology_Governance here]. Please review and bring ideas/comments to the next call<br />
<br />
== September 23, 2015 ==<br />
[http://www.michellecheatham.com/ Michelle Cheatham ] presented on Ontology Design Patterns. The presentation is available here: [[File:ODP_introduction.pdf]]<br />
<br />
The links mentioned in the presentation are:<br />
[http://schema.geolink.org GeoLink Schema] and [http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Main_Page OntologyDesignPatterns.org]<br />
<br />
* John Graybeal mentioned that work on his ontology portal was resuming after a short hiatus<br />
* John also mentioned the newly formed EarthCube Semantic Web Working Group. He invited everyone to join their telecons, which are the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9am<br />
* Discussion began on the cluster's use of OBO Foundry Principles for Ontology Governance<br />
** it was mentioned that not all of the principles may be needed<br />
** it was mentioned that enforcement of the principles we do adopt will need to be thought through<br />
** the main portion of the discussion centered around if we should be in the business of hosting a production ontology portal at all. What is the sustainability model for such a portal? John Graybeal mentioned that there is the possibility that NSF EarthCube could fund the effort and ESIP would maintain it; however, this is not guaranteed at the moment.<br />
** Patrick West mentioned that we should be careful to distinguish between ontology repository and ontology registry. We clearly have use cases for both. Some people host their own ontologies and would just like to reference them in a registry while others need dedicated hosting. It is thought that the current ontology portal solutions would support both of these cases.<br />
** discussion will continue via email and at the next telecon<br />
<br />
== June, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
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:<br />
# ontology portal<br />
# ontology governance<br />
# long term infrastructure<br />
# [http://www.schema.org schema.org]<br />
# long term development plan (1-2 years)<br />
<br />
Other notes:<br />
* 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)<br />
<br />
Open questions:<br />
* Were any SW testbed projects submitted this year?<br />
* Are there any SW apps (either academic or private sector) ripe for presentation?<br />
* Is there someone available to talk about ODPs?<br />
** [http://www.geolink.org Geolink.org] would overlap nicely.<br />
<br />
== March, 2015 Telecon ==<br />
* A new special issue of Earth Science Informatics focusing on [http://link.springer.com/journal/12145/8/1/page/1 Semantic e-Science] is now available.<br />
<br />
* The [http://www.35igc.org/ 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 [https://www.allevents.co.za/ei/getdemo.ei?id=222&s=_3F00S0JZ9 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.<br />
<br />
* 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. <br />
<br />
* 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 [http://semanticportal.esipfed.org/ontologies semantic portal link], or [http://ec2-50-18-136-210.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ 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. <br />
<br />
* The Semantic Web Cluster will proceed with its application to move from ''cluster'' to ''committee'' after much positive feedback.<br />
<br />
== April, 2014 Telecon ==<br />
<br />
* Marshall Ma (RPI) presented on ontology engineering and ontology reuse in the context of the Global Change Information System. Slides available at: http://orion.tw.rpi.edu/~xgmatwc/20140422_Experience_GCISontology_engineering.ppt <br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
== March, 2014 Telecon ==<br />
