Second Annual 2009 SOCoP Workshop at MITRE - Thu 2009.11.12 (23X3)
2nd Annual Spatial Ontology Community of Practice Workshop: Towards a Reference Model for GeoSpatial Ontologies being held on Nov. 12, 2009. (23X4)
See SocopMeetingpage for information about upcoming and past meetings, usually on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. (27CQ)
This workshop was organized by SOCoP with support from MITRE, Ontolog and OGC and was hosted by MITRE at their McClean Virginia Campus. (23X5)
The purpose of the workshop was to continue the discussion from last year’s workshop advancing understanding about state of research, implementation requirements, anticipated value and future role of spatial ontologies and semantic tools in the continued growth of the spatial data domain. The main theme of the 2nd iteration of the workshop seeks to the question: Can a meaningful reference model be crafted to guide work to accelerate the pace of advancement for the development and use of geospatial ontologies and related semantics? In addition to this theme, as at last year’s workshop, we will have a morning of talks and an afternoon of small group roundtable discussions. (23X6)
In addition to what we covered in 2008 for 2009 we are planning to accept relevant demonstrations to be shown over the lunch hour along with Posters of relevant work. We are accepting submissions for each of these and will have further discussion of demonstrations in the afternoon. (23X7)
