Virtual Workshop : join today

Semantics in Geospatial and Other Architectures: Design and Implementation
May 7, 2013, starting at 12:30 Eastern Time

  
The virtual workshop will focus on the design, use, and software development of semantic technology in various types of systems.

The session page is at:   http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NsfInterop_Grant/SemanticsInGeospatialArchitectures_2013_05_07

The dial-in number is: (US): +1 (206) 402-0100 (long distance)

When prompted enter Conference ID: 141184#

One of the purposes of this workshop is to find examples of how to include semantic technology in systems, such as, geospatial portals, statewide information systems, spatial data infrastructures (e.g., NSDIs), database systems, and cyberinfrastructures. Because the use of semantics in the geospatial area is still relatively new, other domains and applications will also be presented. Semantic technology can encompass ontologies, repositories, mappings, reasoners, and other components as well as linked data. This virtual workshop may lead to a 2 day in-person workshop in the fall.

Please cast your vote - 1st assembly 2013 is being held

Between April 26 and April 30, IAOA is holding its first virtual ordinary assembly in 2013, which mainly comprises two electronic ballots. The 2012 financial statement and the 2013 previsional budget need to be approved by more than half of the Association's members (determined as of April 16) via anonymous voting. Full details are available on the Assembly Wikipage.

All current members are kindly asked to cast their vote, which will just take a few minutes:

Member's Area > Utilities > "2013 Vote for Financial Statement and Previsional Budget".

Notably, only "Yes" votes contribute to achieving the required simple majority for approval, while "Abstain" and "No" do not.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE! Your support is needed here - the earlier, the better. THANKS!

Learning what it is - and how to build it

...guess it's the same with building and managing an ontology

http://www.IBMBigDataHub.com - This live video chat, "Big Data Management: After the Launch," featured an interactive discussion moderated by Jeffrey Kelly, Principal Research Contributor at Wikibon.org and a Contributing Editor at SiliconANGLE; James Kobielus (IBM), Nancy Kopp-Hensley, Sr. Program Director for IBM PureData & Netezza Product Marketing; and James Kobielus, Big Data Evangelist at IBM. The panel discussed recent IBM big data announcements and what they mean to the marketplace.

It might be a one company's perspective, but it still gives good insights on the topic. Take a look.
