Dear Colleagues,

 

You are cordially invited to participate at the third "Earth Science Ontology Dialog" mini-series of virtual panel sessions, which is coming up Thursday, 11-October-2012.

 

The mini-series (dubbed: "EarthScienceOntolog") is designed to explore the current status and application of multi-level ontologies towards developing a semantically enabled cyberinfrastructure for the Earth Science Community. In addition, one key mission of the mini-series is to bring together members of both communities (Earth Science and Ontology/Semantics) into a meaningful dialog. We anticipate that the sharing of requirements and use cases, geo-science problems and issues, ontological engineering architectures and approaches, and prospective tools, will enable collaborative understanding of the challenges and potential value in the application of ontology and semantics in Earth Science.

 

This mini-series of virtual events are co-organized/supported by members of the EarthCube community, Ontolog community, SOCoP community and the IAOA community.
