2019 ESIP Summer Meeting

"Brains! Brains! Give us your brains!"               
      - Friendly neighbourhood machine minds
The collective knowledge in the ESIP community is immense and invaluable. During this session, we'd like to make sure that this knowledge drives the semantic technology (ontologies) being developed to move data with machine-readable knowledge in Earth and planetary science.
What we'll do:

1. In the first half hour of this session, we'll a) sketch out how and why we build ontologies and b) show you how to request that your knowledge gets added to ontologies (with nanocrediting).
2. We'll then have a 30-minute crowdsourcing jam session, during which participants can share their geoscience knowledge on the SWEET issue tracker. With a simple post, you can shape how the semantic layer will behave, making sure it does your field justice! Request content and share knowledge here: https://github.com/ESIPFed/sweet/issues
3. In the last, 30 minutes we'll take one request and demonstrate how we go about "ontologising" it in ENVO and how we link that to SWEET to create interoperable ontologies across the Earth and life sciences.

Come join us and help us shape the future of Geo-semantics!

Stuff you'll need:

1. A GitHub account available at https://github.com/
2. An ORCID (for nanocrediting your contributions) available at https://orcid.org

Session recording here.

This session will consist of two main themes: discussion of current and pending important administrative tasks; and hands-on exercises covering the development aspect toward improvement of the software itself, as well as possible complementary tools that could be integrated (e.g., ontology viewers/visualizers). Participants will gain understanding of how this particular instance of the ORR software is deployed on Amazon and how they can contribute in various ways including further core development and integration of new tools and client libraries to leverage the powerful API and SPARQL endpoint capabilities of the COR server.
