---+ Geospatial Interest Group (GIG) 18 Oct 2006
|
|
|
|
Standards exist already, want to talk about applicability and interoperability, not reinvent
|
|
|
|
Charter - everyone satisfied with it, Reed will do minor edits. Exec comm approves
|
|
|
|
---++ Task Groups
|
|
|
|
---+++ Geographic Standards Task group
|
|
* for authority standard, areas, how they relate, how you use them
|
|
* need to revisit
|
|
* need for marine as well as terrestrial
|
|
* Tasks
|
|
* 2 main issues: data exchange vs controlled vocabulary (content)
|
|
* OGC applicability statements
|
|
* Domain ontology with controlled vocab, geographic taxonomy
|
|
* 1st task is to review existing standards
|
|
* iso standards, fips standards, create a dataset, floristic units
|
|
* app document
|
|
* pay someone? there is a budget, could do proposal for meetings or contract work
|
|
* need to put together charter and timeline, send to Exec comm
|
|
* Chris Frazier will do
|
|
* TDWG, OGC MOU
|
|
* TDWG has associate membership in OGC, OGC has institutional membership in TDWG
|
|
* TDWG exec can appoint up to 3 people to interact with OGC. Would prefer not to rotate them much. Interested? Talk to Reed, Walter or Lee Belbin.
|
|
* Some opportunity for funding. Fill out meeting template to maintain some continuity.
|
|
* OGC and ISO are tightly coupled - 2 sep bodies but have MOU
|
|
|
|
---+++ [[GeoAppInter][BioGeo Interoperability]] Task group
|
|
* Javier - interoperability testbed, workflow
|
|
* Lots of biodiversity data available, but nobody providing interoperability
|
|
* dist maps even worse
|
|
* OGC providing good infrastructure, but not enough (apps can communicate)
|
|
* but not enough about naming columns, etc, only spatial part understandable
|
|
* other communities are doing this with OGC
|
|
* everything implemented in diff structures, need to do in OGC way, GML
|
|
* dist maps, specimen locations, dist modeling/ raster data, itineraries(?)
|
|
* framework for information and analysis, services can understand info, consume, analyze
|
|
* Create Task group for this problem
|
|
* frame this in *Applicability Statement* - how to use these together, need cookbook
|
|
* workflow - identify who is doing what, Javier wants to produce OGC standard models
|
|
* look at OGC site for examples of other domains doing what we want to do in biodiversity informatics
|
|
|
|
---+++ Conceptual Model Task Group
|
|
Flip (GIG Talking Points - slides will be posted)
|
|
* could be differences b/w OGC and TDWG models
|
|
* conceptual model - potential task group, but maybe better in TAG
|
|
* Observations and Measurements Spec (O&M Spec)
|
|
* developed in OWS initiatives
|
|
* feature type is an event, get a result on an observation on a thing
|
|
* Feature of Interest (FOI)
|
|
* need a conceptual model to talk about diff representations of same type of date (ie. darwincore + abcd)
|
|
* conceptual model of taxonomic data -- (used to create) --> representational view of darwincore
|
|
|
|
---+++ Old Geography subgroup
|
|
* Should be subsumed by GIG? Neil and Raphael (Kew?) may like to continue, but could be a task group within GIG
|
|
* TDWG Geographic Standard - *decision:* adopt into GIG for maintenance with task group
|
|
* who is using it?
|
|
* 7000 downloads in past 5 years
|
|
* someone needs to maintain the standard, but decision needs to come from those involved or exec comm. Or we (GIG) could take it on
|
|
* where is the standard?
|
|
* Kew people will ask Neil to upload it.
|
|
* what is the standard
|
|
* focused on botany,
|
|
* paper version, but shapefiles too |
