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

Subject: [EarthScienceOntolog] Session topics and co-chairs for each

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
