Re: NSF Convergence Accelerator RFP

Dear Owen

Thank you for your message, The responses that I got from the community
made me very happy,

The purpose of convergence research is very close to what you raised, the
truth is that there are lots of data repositories and AI-models,
Convergence research plans to integrate data in a homogeneous manner and
share both data and models on an open platform.
Thus, markup and machine-readable languages such as RDF will be the best
choice, to re-represent the data

I am planning to schedule a meeting on Wednesday or Thursday, then all of
us can discuss further,

will send you the link soon

Also since it is a multidisciplinary research, *we  need to engage a
faculty from media and journalism department*,
I appreciate if you direct me to someone who you know and might be
interested to get involved


Thank you and have a nice weekend
