---++ NCD Workshop 2007
This year's NCD Workshop took place on June 18th and 19th at ETI in Amsterdam. We would like to express our thanks to the ETI BioInformatics in the Netherlands for hosting the event and to the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation for most of the funding.
-----
---+++ Agenda overview
Please see the meeting report, which is available at the foot of this page, for the meeting highlights.
*Day 1* brought attendees up-to-date on current developments. As background, an introduction to the TDWG technical architecture was provided by Roger Hyam (TDWG). This presentation is available from the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) wiki at http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/ArchTalk
The creation of the NCD ontology resulting from the move to RDF/OWL was outlined by Markus Döring, whose presentation is available as a PDF file at the foot of this page and additional reading about ontology modelling is available from the EDIT site at http://wp5.e-taxonomy.eu/wiki/OntologyModelling
The rest of the day was devoted to reports on the current status of the work described in the NCDListOfDeliverables.
*Day 2* concentrated on developing a stable version of NCD so that work on the NCDToolkit and other deliverables could proceed with confidence.
---+++ Workshop deliverables - see documents at the foot of this page
1. Introduction to RDF/OWL modelling.
2. First draft of NCD RDF schema and vocabulary.
3. First draft list of terms for use with NCD picklists with definitions for use in the TDWG ontology.
4. Draft of the NCD Primer. NCD User Guide to follow.
5. Workshop Report.
*Timing*
The Workshop took place in June - about half-way through the 2007 work period, which started at the beginning of April and finishes in time for the TDWG 2007 conference in September. This allowed the review of progress to date and agreement on subsequent actions.

---+++ Travel and accommodation
*Travel from the airport*
Transfer from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is about 20 km from the center of the city. There is a good and frequent train connection to/from Amsterdam Central Station (six trains every hour during daytime), costs ¤ 3.60 for a one way trip of fifteen minutes.
*Public Transport in Amsterdam*
Fare for public transport is charged in ‘strippen’, one ‘strip’ for each ride plus a ‘strip’ for each zone that you travel. The entire centre of Amsterdam is one zone, two ‘strippen’.
‘Strippen’ cards of fifteen ‘strippen’ are available at the train station (both Schiphol and Amsterdam Centraal) and in tabacco/bookstores at ¤ 6.80. Cards for a ride of two ‘strippen’ can be bought in the tram and bus at ¤ 1.60. ‘Strippen’ paid for in tram or bus are more expensive than those of an advance paid card. You can stamp one card for several persons. Stamp the number of ‘strippen’ for each person. Two ‘strippen’ are valid for one hour, once you have stamped you may hop on every tram, bus or underground line, within the time and zone paid for.
*From Amsterdam Central Station to ETI*
Tram nr. 9, from the east side of the station, stop Alexanderplein.
Bus 22, from the east side of the station, stop 1e Van Swindenstraat.
Please note that at the moment parts of and around the station are inaccessible due to the contruction of a new subway line. The main entrance/exit is closed. The east and west entrances are open.
