No problem, we can be third.

Krzysztof et al,

You will notice on our site that Naicong and I have been organizing for the 2nd session. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EarthScienceOntolog/GettingOrganized

It is called "Ontology development and applicaiton across Earth Science Lifecycle"

We too have a general topic that might logically follow a Value Prop (but also Requirements) 1st session.

More info on this next week.

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.
