6th Annual SOCoP Workshop Purpose: to continue the discussion from

GeoVoCamp as follow-up previous SOCoP workshops and VoCamps participated in by SOCoP members. 

The session is organized around 3-4 Work Groups made up of domain experts, group facilitators and people with semantic/ ontological experience.

This will be a great opportunity for people interested in using semantics to see lightweight approaches applied in context.

•Community-based Data Interoperability Networks (INTEROP)

VoCamps Workshop on Semantics in Geospatial Architectures: Applications and Implementation

Terra Cognita (ISWC) Collaboration with ONTOLOG, USGS, EarthCube, etc

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/meetings/geosp_sem/

2-day workshop focused on including semantic components in geospatial applications and architectures.

Geospatial domain and GIS people encouraged to come to the workshop to listen to presentations, engage in discussions, and help guide users’ needs.

A goal - foster the inclusion of semantics in geospatial systems including national spatial data infrastructures (NSDIs) and state information systems.

This workshop was supported by an NSF INTEROP grant.
