Thank you for the input, Krzysztof and Pascal. We can talk about this some more during the call next week.

... we'll miss you then, Pascal; have a wonderful vacation!

Just to confirm that I would be happy to co-chair. Regretfully, I will not be able to make a call next week since I'm still on holidays - I will be back in business from August 6.

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?
