Machine Learning Schema Community Group created

The Machine Learning Schema Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/ml-schema/

--------------------------------------------------

This group represents a collaborative, community effort with a mission
to develop, maintain, and promote standard schemas for data mining and
machine learning algorithms, datasets, and experiments.  Our target is a
community agreed schema as a basis for ontology development projects,
markup languages and data exchange standards; and an extension model for
the schema in the area of data mining and machine learning.


The goals of this group are:


To define a simple shared schema of data mining/ machine learning
(DM/ML) algorithms, datasets, and experiments that may be used in many
different formats: XML, RDF, OWL, spreadsheet tables.


Collect use cases from the academic community and industry


Use this schema as a basis to align existing DM/ML ontologies and
develop more specific ontologies with specific purposes/applications


Prevent a proliferation of incompatible DM/ML ontologies


Turn machine learning algorithms and results into linked open data


Promote the use of this schema, including involving stakeholders like ML
tool developers
Apply for funding (e.g. EU COST, UK Research Councils, Horizon2020
Coordination and Support Actions) to organize workshops, and for
dissemination

This is a community initiative. W3C's hosting of this group does not
imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair:

and good practice for running a group:

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media
and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
