Re: [EarthScienceOntolog] Possible speakers for EarthScienceOntolog Sess

[Dalia E Varanka <dvaranka@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the added links.  I
was not aware of the conference papers and look forward to looking them
over.
The Session 4 line up is still undetermined.
I know Mark and his work on environmental science is very interesting.


Very kind of you to mention Rob.  I
agree; he still had great contributions to make ahead of him.

speakers for EarthScienceOntolog Session 4

Peter,
 
For the benefit of the your mini-series
planning team, I've attached my original email, which has links lost in
the text forwarded below. I’ll also exploit this opportunity to add
·       Mark
Gahegan (U. of Auckland)
to the list, who I didn’t offer before
because I expected his NZ location would make engaging him a challenge.
 But I should have let Mark, Dalia, and the rest of the team decide
whether to tackle that challenge.  I know Mark, in particular, because
Chevron funded work with him, some results from which have been published
as conference materials (eResearch
Australasia Conference, 2010;
AAPG
Annual Conference and Exhibition, 2011).
 You’ll note that Boyan was also involved in that work.
 
Yes, I saw Peter Fox’s presentation in
session 2, but thought the topic of session 3 was different enough to warrant
mentioning him again. Sadly, another candidate that probably occurred to
us all is Rob Raskin.

Great suggestions, Scott. Really appreciate
the input!
 
We definitely share your views as most
of the names you suggested were
also brought up before during our earlier
organizing team meetings. In
fact, we already had Peter Fox presenting
at session-2 of the series
on Sep-6 (ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2012_09_06#nid3EOA
).
 
You may also be aware (ref.
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EarthScienceOntolog#nid3CWF
)
that the focus of the next two sessions
will be on the "4) Review of
the field of ontologies for earth science
(and existing ontologies)"
and "5) Tutorials."
 
... by copying our mini-series organizing
team here, I am passing
along your suggestions for possible consideration
by our session-5
co-chairs as well, so that champions of
the next two sessions could
optimize the alignment between their session
topics and potential
panelists' expertise.
 
Thanks & regards. =ppy

Mark,
 
In response to your invitation at the end of today’s EarthScienceOntolog Session 3, below are four folks you might consider inviting (links are to DBLP bibliographies):
1.        Boyan Brodaric (Geol. Survey of Canada)
2.        Steve Richard (Arizona Geol. Survey)
3.        Peter Fox (RPI)
4.        Deborah McGuinness (RPI)
 
I know that Boyan and Steve are both focused on the geoscience domain, as you’d suspect given their affiliations, with publications that reflect that focus (1, 2).  In contrast, although I don’t know Peter Fox personally and have only met Deborah once (I suspect you may know both), I see their work and interests focused on issues fundamental to the semantic web, and only specific to earth science when it happens to act as a use case or provide a case history.
 
Best regards,
