Here is a possible order of sessions: 1. Value propositions (needs, criteria, etc.) 2. Spatial Decision Support (perhaps as a case study) 3. Review of the field of ontologies for earth science (and existing ontologies) 4. Methodologies: including, what *is* semantics, image approaches, etc. 5. Tutorials

Dear All,
The suggestion that this mini-series be made up of 4 to 5 sessions makes perfect sense (ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EarthScienceOntolog/GettingOrganized#nid3D7B ).
Besides the topic for the kick-off session, we still need to identify, say 4 more topics (session titles) and to sequence them coherently. Here's a draft calendar:
Session-1: Thu 2012_08_09 - co-chairs: KrishnaSinha & LeoObrst - "Value Proposition of Ontology and Semantic Technology for the Earth Science Community"
Session-2: Thu 2012_09_06 - co-chairs: ?? & ?? - " ??? "
Session-3: Thu 2012_10_11 - co-chairs: ?? & ?? - " ??? "
Session-4: Thu 2012_11_08 - co-chairs: ?? & ?? - " ??? "
Session-5: Thu 2012_12_06 - co-chairs: ?? & ?? - " ??? "
Here are some of the suggested topics so far ... (in no particular order, I may also have missed some, so please add ...)
* [KrzysztofJanowicz / PascalHitzler] Value proposition ** [NaicongLi / KrishnaSinha] how can Ontologies help address the need of resource organization, discovery and access, interoperability among the resources.
* [GaryBergCross] suggest to have a presentation on how the SDS team went about developing the ontologies as well as demoing the SDS Knowledge Portal. (by NaicongLi)
* [KrishnaSinha] enumerating existing ontologies applicable to geo science
* [KrishnaSinha] how do we evaluate these existing ontologies?
* [GaryBergCross] methodologies that would provide benefits
* [PascalHitzler] tutorials to provide the targeted audience with further insights into semantic technologies ** [GaryBergCross]help earth scientists better understand what "semantics" is ** [NancyWiegand] semantic tutorials regarding geospatial data ... we could add earth science examples. (by JamesWilson et al.) ** [NancyWiegand] how to represent earth science data as linked data, especially remote sensing or sensor type data. Maybe this has been done already.
Actions:
1. Please suggest more topics
2. please suggest how we should best sequence them into 4 more sessions (after the kick-off session)
3. please team up (say, two to three co-chairs per session) and "adopt" your favorite topic/session which you team will start to co-champion.
4. suggest panelists for particular topics.
Look forward to hear from everyone between now and this Friday.
Thanks & regards. =ppy -- _________________________________________________________________ Message Archives: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/mini-series-org/ Community Wiki: http://ontolog.cim3.net/wiki Project homepage: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EarthScienceOntolog
