From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
ESSI Linked Open Data (Eric and Tom)
- Meeting upcoming with AGU, hopefully more to present next month ==
- thinking about long term AGU hosting, also applicable to ESIP
- looking at Callimachus, Amazon Web Svcs
- some ideas from Wood on how to expose LOD to end users
Ontology repository testbed via Products and Svcs (Line)
- use of BioPortal (Stanford) to port SWEET, then data
- but also need for ESIP ontology
- use core implementation on cluster
- first try private cloud environ
- have ESIP contribute into it
- then maybe look at Amazon Web Services
- better to have our own instance vs. using the Stanford one
- can develop new ontologies/concepts, extend existing ones
- also possible to come in to add annotations, registering projects
- would be nice to add extensions to SWEET ontology
- funded under P&S testbed
- perhaps some coord with cloud cluster (Ken Keiser / Phil Yang)
- Does BioPortal expose SPARQL endpoints?
ToolMatch (Chris)
What to use for identifiers?
- Brian: allow all schemes (URLs, synthetic URIs)
- Eric: dereferencible linked data URI; could be any RDF format; use properties for dataset (e.g., metadata about the dataset that says it's WMS accessible)
- Chris: also include key metadata, like GCMD required fields for example
- Chris: Action Item: start sending examples for inferences
How to publish
- BioPortal? Web accessible URL?
- Hook: SPARQL endpoint needs to (eventually) support CRUD
- Surprised at how much further along DOD is in semantic tech infusion; reduces cost and risk
- Used in areas from intel to payroll
- Top brass aware of Semantics
- Deputy chief mgmt officer sent a memo: if it's in DOD arch, needs to use RDF, OWL, BPML
- Reports to top brass
- Advocate models less and loose RDF graphs instead
- Reduces cost; models hardwire you in; need to change as needed
- Heading toward: semantics, cloud and SOA
- Several companies presenting
ESIP Meeting Sem Web sessions: Innovation, esp. Community Leadership
- Due by March 31!
- Hook: explore newer innovations
