Re: Joint SDW paper

Yes, the survey category would be a natural fit! I like your suggestion for a title as well.

Hi,

My intention is the latter: a report on best practice as far as we have figured out now. I think it will be a useful exercise to write up the state of our knowledge and the gaps we see. A description of the process should also be present in the paper I think, but not be the focus.

Yes. I would also suggest to write up the results and only briefly mention the process.

“A Report on Best Practices for Publication and Usage of Spatial Data on the Web”

SWJ (and most other journals) does not publish reports. I would simply suggest "Best Practices for Publishing, Retrieving, and Using Spatial Data on the Web". The key point to getting a paper like this accepted will be to find an interesting way of structuring our insights and providing examples. I assume that we will submit this under SWJ's survey category?

Best,
Krzysztof

Any suggestions for a title? I usually come up with the title last, but some people are good at doing that up front. We could just trim the title like this:

“A Report on Best Practices for Publication and Usage of Spatial Data on the Web”

Same here, I will gladly help.

One important issue we probably have to work out early on is whether this is a report on the process of getting towards a best practice recommendation (this is what the title currently implies) or a report on best practice.

Hi all,



As I announced at the very end of the telecon yesterday, I’m preparing a
paper about the SDW BP. Payam and I prepared an abstract and TOC, and
want to try getting it published in Semantic Web Journal. Of course the
work we’ll be writing about is done by all of you, so I want to list as
many of you as possible as co-authors. I even started adding everyone on
https://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=75471&public=1 but there’s
about fifty names there…



So what I want to do is at least list the BP editors; followed by any
participant in this group who tells me they want to be listed as author
and contribute something. A contribution could be actually writing a bit
of text for the paper, or reviewing (a section of) the paper,
participate in discussions on the paper, give some input for the paper,
or just having been active on the BP work in this group.



In addition we’ll put an acknowledgement in the paper (a first draft of
that is already in the abstract). But I really don’t want anyone to feel
left out so _/please/_ don’t hesitate to let me know if you want to be
listed as an author! Just a reply with a simple ‘yes’ is enough.



The abstract of the paper is here:
