Subject: [socop-forum] Geosemantics "Summit" (05)
> On Monday afternoon, June 14, there will be a Geosemantics summit in
> Silver Spring, MD. This session will be associated with the OGC
> Technical Committee meeting, but is open to OGC members and non-
> members alike.
>
> The session is motivated by two trends in geosemantics. The first is
> the increasing federation of disparate geospatial services and data
> across domain and community boundaries. GEOSS (Global Earth Observing
> System of Systems) is an example of this, but there are many others.
> As a result, there are increasing needs to perform semantic mediation
> between the concepts and vocabularies brought into these federations
> in order for discovery and exploitation of geodata resources to be
> successful. Many of these terms and the relationships between them are
> spatially meaningful but have little in the way of a consistent
> geosemantic basis for successful mediation to occur.
>
> The second trend of interest is publication of linked geodata. Just
> "putting it out there and see what happens" has enormous potential for
> geospatial enablement and fusion, as well as enormous potential for
> confusion and duplication as link scheme development and
> "triplification" are carried out in many different ways.
>
> The goal of the summit is to look at these and other trends in the
> application of geosemantics, then start to build a reference model
> for the use and adaptation of OGC standards to further them.
>
> Everyone interested in contributing to this work or learning about it
> is welcome to attend. Proposals for presentations relevant to the
> session themes are also welcome. Please contact me
> (jlieberman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
