The objective of the Semantic Web Cluster is facilitate application areas of ESIP using semantic web methodologies and technologies. The cluster provides a forum for dissemination of best practices, technical infusion experience and lessons learned and continuing education for emerging semantic technologies. The cluster also plays a governance role in the development of community vocabularies and ontologies relevant to ESIP members.

We have two continuation sessions, one on Thursday 2-4, and the other on Friday 8:30-10am.
 
 
 
Please review the previous work on the wiki pages. Please put up your use cases (from the workshop
 
as well as any others) on this site as well.
 
 
 
I have posted the sets of cmaps and ontologies generated to date.
 
 
 
Our agenda will depend on who attends but could be selected from:
 
 
 
continuation on data-type ontology model
 
continuation on service ontology model - we'd started with the ISO
 
defining a test-bed
 
selecting 2-3 use cases and further defining a prototype implementation
 
 
 
depending on numbers we could do these as a group or split up.
 
 
 
Other thoughts? Topics? Priorities?
 
 
 
Remember this is intended to be a working session.

accounts on the cmap server, on planetont and the wiki set up (see below)
 
use cases (see below)
 
 
 
9am, quick intro, review of what we have done, what we plan to achieve
 
 
 
use cases to drive services and service to drive data type needs
 
review of data-type ontologies - ours and others

assessment of language encodings (we agreed to use RDF/OWL/OWL-S to start, still okay?)
 
 
 
10:30am break.

for working session on service ontologies
 
 
 
6 pm happy hour, then dinner.
 
 
 
* May 16th

9;15 Services ontology discussion
 
 
 
10:25 wild and crazy ideas from Howard Burrows
 
 
 
11:00 break
 
 
 
11:15 continue working breakout session on service ontologies (generic and spatial) - classes, and hierarchy based
 
on functions, include inputs, outputs and pre-conditions (semantic ones, sorted by type if possible)
 
 
 
12:30 working lunch
 
 
 
1:30-2:30 plenary report and assess continue breakout and/or review match between service input/outputs
 
and data type ontology
 
 
 
2:30 summary discussion
 
 
 
===== Preparation details =====
 
 
 
* Accounts
 
1. cmap server, contact Rahul
 
2. planetont.org, contact if you want to upload ontologies here (Peter), otherwise, open access
 
3. ESIP wiki set up - use this site - please create pages under this heading
 
 
 
====Tools we will use====
 
 
 
[http://cmap.ihmc.us/coe Cmap - the Concept Mapping Tool]
 
 
 
[http://protege.stanford.edu/download/download.html Protege - ontology editor - download]
 
 
 
[http://code.google.com/p/swoop/ SWOOP - Ontology editor]
 
 
 
When making CMAP modifications that you want others to see, make them using CMAP's Shared Cmaps capability:
 
 
 
* Within CMAP, select Shared CMAPs option when opening the file.
 
* Navigate to the shared CMAP directory for this work: "Shared Cmaps in Places -> IHMC Public Cmaps (3) -> Users -> ESIP-SemanticWeb
 
* Two folders (data-type and services)
 
 
 
Guidelines for collaborating with Cmap
 
 
 
Meta-tags to add when making changes: - you can annotate classes with comments.
 
 
 
Note SWEET 2.0 alpha, NOTE: a word processor should be used to examine the files (not Protege, etc.)  http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/2.0

Welcome to the Semantic Web Cluster

The objective of the Semantic Web Cluster is facilitate application areas of ESIP using semantic web methodologies and technologies. The cluster provides a forum for dissemination of best practices, technical infusion experience and lessons learned and continuing education for emerging semantic technologies. The cluster also plays a governance role in the development of community vocabularies and ontologies relevant to ESIP members. Register in the ESIP wiki and click on the "watch" tab to be notified of ongoing events.
