Agenda for today's telecon (27.11.06)

Hi,

I understand Josh is away today so he has asked me to lead the
teleconference in his place. I'd like to concentrate on a couple of
issues:

 1) Best practices for spatial/geographic ontologies. As with 

 programming you cannot just sit down with a java development 

 environment and create good software unless you know something about 

 patterns and methods. We think to make the most of OWL (and related 

 technologies) we need more good ontologies. We need to set down some
good modelling 

 guide lines and methodologies. These could specialise some of the work 

 that is going on in the semantic web best practices group for the 

 geospatial domain. Ontology methodologies is something we have been 

 thinking about at Ordnance Survey for some time.



 2) Usecases: it would be interesting to see what people intended to 

 use semantic web technologies for in the geospatial domain. We are 

 interested in semantic integration between different datasets, and 

 data repurposing using ontologies. Do other people have interesting 

 usecases?


Hope to speak to you all later.

Please join on the phone is you can as I do not have the ICQ thing set
up at the moment. I hope this isn't a problem for anyone.

Regards,

John
