• Planning for the summer meeting
  • Theme: Information and Data Quality
    • SJK: go over TC211 products to set the terminology for discussion, perhaps in tech workshop. Also, have joint workshop with Info Quality (IQ) cluster.
    • Sacrifice some tutorial coverage for intro workshop to quality terminology? No consensus reached yet, given possible scope for tutorial.
    • SJK: several efforts going on in community around quality and related terms:
      • TC211 Program of Work
      • CEOS quality assurance for Earth observation
      • GeoViQua: QUAlity aware VIsualisation for the Global Earth Observation system of systems

• • Tutorial
    • James: more hands-on. It would be neat if you could put it all on a VM and work away with something that works, or have all the tools on a web site.
    • Judy: suggest renting a Virtual Private Server (VPS), get tools loaded up, build servers (have systems folks load them up). Should be inexpensive (1 month of basic VPS for $20)
    • James: VPS probably easier than VM approach
    • Rob: might have money to support this
    • Judy: would volunteer to help out with VPS solution

• • Ontology Working Sessions

• Testbed

• Collaborative framework feedback
  • Erin: most people have heard the call; need any remaining feedback by end of Feb.
