Invitation to Linked Building Data CG Workshop series

Dear LBD CG members,

During the upcoming autumn season, the W3C Linked Building Data Community Group will, in addition to our regular seminars and presentations, host a series of workshops on ontology engineering, ontology alignment, and software development for linked building data.

We hereby invite maintainers of ontologies and software to bring their deliverables to the LBD community for discussion and joint development work. We envisage you may have interests relating but not limited to requirements elicitation, feature prioritization, trade-offs in design, development patterns/architecture, ontology alignment practices, documentation needs, workflows, etc. Take this opportunity to use the LBD CG as a sounding board and advisory group -- and who knows, maybe you'll pick up a few contributors to your project while you're at it?

The exact format and number of workshops will depend on maintainer interests, but tentatively we are looking at 2-3 workshops run every two or four weeks, with 2-3 maintainers/tracks per workshop. We're now surveying that maintainer interest and ask that if you fit this role, and would like to participate with your project in a workshop like this, please contact the LBD CG chairs.

We appreciate if you share this notice to relevant research or industry communities!

With best regards,

Mathias Bonduel
