[openARweb] Fwd: Geosemantics "Summit"

[Dan Brickley]

First I've heard of this Geosemantics WG, but glad to see the
connection being made to the linked data scene. I won't be able to
attend; if anyone from this list does, sending us a quick report would
I'm sure be much appreciated...

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

Regards,

Josh Lieberman
Chair, OGC Geosemantics Domain Working Group
