Unfortunately,
we don't think we can support international travel. Also, I
don't think there will be remote access. But, I wanted to let
everyone know.

Geospatial
Semantics Workshop and GeoVoCamp
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/meetings/geosp_sem/
June
2-3, 2014
Pyle Center (702 Langdon Street, Madison, WI), University of
Wisconsin-Madison
We
would like to invite you to attend a two-day workshop that has a
broad focus on
including semantic technology in geospatial applications. This
workshop has two
parts. One part will have speakers talking about ontologies,
linked data, or
other semantic technology. The other part will be a GeoVoCamp in
which people
break into small groups. Each group will work on a draft
ontology design
pattern on a topic area. To
do this,
each group will have domain experts as well as someone able to
formalize the
design, which we will arrange. This workshop is supported by an
NSF INTEROP
grant.
Contact
information: Nancy Wiegand, wiegand@xxxxxxxxxxx, and Gary

Step
1: Email Nancy Wiegand and Gary Berg-Cross to confirm attendance
and indicate
if you would like to do (or not do) a 20 min. or so
presentation. Also, if you
have an idea for a topic for the GeoVoCamp, please indicate
that. So far, we
have a parcel model topic.
Step 2: After confirmation from Nancy or Gary, register on the
Website. There
is no registration fee, but we need this recorded. (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/meetings/geosp_sem/)
Step
3: Once your attendance is confirmed, your email contact
information will be
communicated to our travel department, and they will contact you
to set up air
travel (unless you are driving) and hotel accommodations. NO
reimbursements for air or hotel will be issued. We will pay
those
directly. Due to the lateness of organizing, we will cover
flight expenses if
made by May 9.
We will also pay airport parking, cab
fare, or if you drive, mileage expenses. Please keep your
receipts for
reimbursement. We will not pay for food or other incidentals.
Meals will be
provided all day on Monday and through a snack Tuesday
afternoon. We’re not sure yet exactly
when the workshop will end on
Tuesday but will likely go all afternoon. If you need to leave
in the
afternoon, that’s fine. If you can’t leave Tuesday evening,
please contact us
for a possible third hotel night.
We hope to see you in Madison!
Nancy and Gary
