Members of Ontolog may be interested in SOCoP’s (Spatial Ontology
Community of Practice) free, 3rd Annual Spatial Ontology Community of
Practice Workshop: Development, Implementation and Use of GeoSpatial
Ontologies and Semantics (01)
This will be held Dec 3, 2010 at the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS)
National Center at 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, VA 20192 on
Friday December 3,
2010 from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. This workshop is organized by SOCoP with
support from the USGS, Ontolog, and others. (02)
The purpose of the workshop is to continue the discussion from the
previous SOCoP workshops in advancing spatial ontologies and semantic
tools in the geospatial data domain. The main theme of this 3rd
iteration of the workshop is the current and future state of
development, implementation, and use of geospatial semantics and
ontologies in meeting organizational mission and program needs. (03)
In addressing this theme, as at last year’s workshop, we have a
morning of talks and an afternoon of small group roundtable
discussions. In addressing this theme, as at last year’s workshop, we
anticipate having a morning of talks and an afternoon of small group
roundtable discussions. This year's presentations will include on
standards work such GeoSPARQL and Open Geospatial Consortium
GeoSemantics, a Socop-Sameas Demonstration, and USGS Ontology for The
National Map. In addition there will be a discussion about a National
Science Foundation INTEROP Project which was recently awarded and
which several Spatial Ontology Community of Practice members will
participate in. This Project: “an Interdisciplinary Network to Support
Geospatial Data Sharing, Integration, and Interoperability” promises
to be an exciting opportunity in developing and using ontologies,
software tools, and collaboration methods to support geospatial data
sharing, integration, and interoperation. Afternoon roundtable
discussions will follow morning presentations. (04)
