     Hi Peter, all, 
       
      I also talked to Pascal about this and he would be interested in
      co-organizing the interoperability and heterogeneity session with
      me. From my understanding, the first session on the value
      proposition is the most basic and overview-like. Hence, the
      interoperability session could be second as it is one of the
      central value propositions of geospatial semantics. Personally, I
      would propose to keep the mini series small at first and maybe
      restrict it to just 3-4 sessions. If there is enough interest, we
      can still add more. I am also not sure about the future of the
      EarthCube semantics community. 
       
      Best, 
      Krzysztof

      That sounds great, Krzysztof ... would you consider fitting
        that content into the program framework as we have it so far
        (ref my earlier msg today on this thread), or tweaking that
        framework to allow a better fit?

          Dear all, 
           
          if this would be interesting, I could organize a session on
          semantic 
          interoperability and semantic heterogeneity.
