Technical Breakout 1b - Semantic Web
First hour
- Developing ontologies (has some use case elements in it)
Second hour (depending on audience)
- Query Languages
- Rules
- Use cases for semantic web development
Issue Breakout 1 - Air Quality Cluster Meeting
Session Topics
- Introduction and overview of the ESIP Air Quality Cluster Activities
- Capturing air quality project networking through metadata pages (DataSpace and DataSheets) and their relationship to metadata catalogs
- ESIP preparation for the EPA Air Quality Data Summit
- Overview of demo session at the evening reception

Breakout Sessions #2, 3:45-5:45 p.m.
Technical Breakout 2a - Registering Data and Services (GCMD, GOS)
| Time | Session | Leader | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3:45-4:15 | Registering Earth Science Data and Data Related Services Using NASA’s Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) | Tyler Stevens | |
| 4:30-5:00 | GOS Registration Model(s) (harvesting, metadata upload) | John Kozimor | |
| 5:15-5:45 | Registering air quality web services with metadata catalogs | Stefan Falke |
Technical Breakout 2b - Developing an Ontology for Services
- Classifying services and describing service interfaces to support "smart" workflow composition (presentations by Liping Di & Rahul Ramachandran & Peter Fox & Rob Raskin)
- Begin development of core services ontology based on our use cases
- Exchange experiences with semantic software stacks (triple stores, inference engines, rules engines, etc.)
Issue Breakout 2 - Water Management Cluster Meeting
- Session Leaders Tim Owen, NOAA/NCDC and Will Pozzi, CREW/WaterNet
- Session Rapporteur Carol Meyer, ESIP Federation
- Session Objectives
- To connect portal and ontological development in water management with user requirements for products, services, and data discovery tools; and
- To consider these connections in the context of an emerging climate cluster (to include water management, air quality, and the carbon cycle)
- Agenda
| Time | Session | Leader | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3:45 | Opening Remarks | Dick Wertz | |
| 3:50 | Preamble Presentations: Portal Synergies in Water and Drought and Ontological Development as a Foundation for Products and Services in Water Management | Tim Owen, Will Pozzi, Jeff Arnfield, and Lola Olsen | |
| 4:10 | Review of Submitted ‘One-Pagers’ (click here for template) | Will Pozzi | |
| 4:25 | Moderated Panel Discussion (use case TBD) | Tim Owen | |
| 5:30 | Summary of Discussion and Next Steps | Carol Meyer |
- Potential Discussion Topics
- Ontologies
- Metadata/registries
- Inventories
- Knowledge directories
- Data discovery from GCMD portal perspective (ECV, WaterNet, CUASHI)
- On-line catalogues, networking, and screen scraping capabilities
- Standards and service-oriented architecture (USGEO/ADM perspectives)
- Matching resources (data tools, models, research papers, visualization overlays) with accessibility (RISA/AASC/REACT perspectives)
- Semantic capabilities – textual and graphic – of targeted user groups
- One-Pagers
- Brand Niemann's work at EPA [1]
