Herman Stehouwer, 10:35:24 Herman: I'm going to talk about the Research Data Alliance in general 10:35:59 … We're a worldwide organisation that tries to increase research data sharing. We do this in a small way, taking a small step that allows data to be shared that could be before. 10:36:23 dennis has joined #lgd 10:36:26 … We have working groups with a specific task and lifetime, who must deliver something.

The EC ENGAGE project is making this bridge 10:43:30 … Even back to 1987, we had registers of controlled vocabularies. 10:43:42 … Here is a book of them, published by UNESCO 10:43:44 svensson has left #lgd 10:43:54 svensson has joined #lgd 10:44:08 … We've grown those base vocabularies and put them on the web. Initially in CSV, now they're online in SKOS. 10:44:29 … Recently, W3C has published guidelines on linked data. These vocabs fit nicely with those. 10:44:40 cyrubattino has joined #lgd 10:44:58 … We've built up trust in the community by having these be online, persistent, version-controlled, and understanding how they're being used. 10:45:07 LarsG has joined #lgd 10:45:31 … Internet of Things: this is a robot vessel in the ocean.

(In RDF vocabularies) 10:49:56 Reply: That's part of the study. We will see. In the end, we want to provide guidelines. 10:50:45 Question: Jeremy Tandy: INSPIRE implementations often talk about the document object, not the real-world thing itself. Has there been any thought on how to reconcile them? 10:51:12 How to convert INSPIRE dataspecs into RDF. A RDF model for every dataspec or an integrated model for all INSPIRE annex thematic datasets? 10:51:25 Reply: INSPIRE was not meant for that. 10:51:41 … At this moment, I don't have an answer that. I hope that in may we'll have more guidance. 10:51:50 Janderl has joined #lgd 10:52:18 Question: ??? 10:53:13 Question: PhilA: Is it hard to come up with URIs for versions? At W3C, we have the latest version URI, and every document has its own URI. Each iteration has its own URI. You can add language tags. Why is this a problem? How does content negotiation help/hinder? 10:53:55 AndreaPerego: ???\ 10:54:07 … For the technical part, you have to find a way that isn't increasing the complexity. 10:54:14 Frans_Knibbe has joined #lgd 10:55:07 Question: If you have a code list in the registry, and you use that code in some value. Then the decision to update that value creates a new element in the code list in the registry. 10:55:30 … You have to make aware people using the registry that something has changed. 10:56:54 Herman: Where data has observations made on a certain date — a persistent identifier will give you just the more recent version. But it gets more stable over time. 10:57:09 ManoMarks has joined #lgd 10:57:45 AdamL: We iterated on this problem, settled on the persistent identifier pointing to the most current version. Painful process. 10:58:15 … but there is a social aspect, trust on what you're providing and how people are using it. If you deprecate - can cause problems. 10:58:48 Question: Have any of you used a versioning or provenance ontology to describe versioning of data? 10:59:27 AdamL: We version version tags to explain the concepts in the register, but we dont' have full provenance info. We should look at that in the next year. 11:00:05 Andrea: Depends on what you have to do. Provenance would be good. 11:00:13 jtandy has joined #lgd 11:00:42 Question: to AdamL: a geodetic reference is needed in what your'e doing, isn't it? 11:00:55 AdamL: Yes, we do store it.

Not a boast, a ple for mercy 11:47:46 Dicky Allison: BM-DM has one of the most heterogenically diverse data collection on the planet. 11:47:56 ... that's a plea for mercy. 11:48:05 pezholio has joined #lgd 11:48:43 ... Matching and mapping terms for the purpose of finding data about same place, event, measurement .... 11:49:03 AdamL has joined #lgd 11:49:03 ... First step is local to global vocab mapping. 11:49:18 PeterRushforth has joined #lgd 11:49:50 ... BC-DM then map to broader community vocabs. 11:50:50 ... NERC vocabs relate to other related vocabs and we (BC-DMO) benefit from those curated mappings. 11:50:51 ... 11:51:40 ... Use GeoSPARQL ontology to capture whole of a cruise's track. 11:52:12 ... aiming to link to geonames and/or SISSVOC marine regions vocab. 11:52:14 Jmev has joined #lgd 11:52:28 ... annotating cruise tracks with relevant POIs'. 11:52:54 ... aiming to provide GeoSparql support at endpoints. 11:53:45 Panel forms: presenters plus: Chris Little, Massimo Zotti, Bente Lija Bye and Tony Bush. 11:55:24 Massimo: An open data buisness model: use ontologies produced for INSPIRE data models to link EO data to ???. Data Fusion centre... 11:56:08 chrishenden has joined #lgd 11:57:30 Chris Little: From UK Metoffice. At OGC chair ??? Abstract is a quesion/call to action. Problem happens after youv'e found the data you want. Terra bytes of it... now you want to work with it. Given a conceptual model can you use that to generate some subsetting tools. 11:57:34 eparsons has left #lgd 11:59:11 Tony Bush: from Ricardo AEA and air quality specialist and amateur INSPIRE specialise. Working with DEFRA to migrate UK air quality holdings to INSPIRE. Now have an application schema that draws on about 5 INSPIRE data spec. Regulatory framework pulling in different directions. 11:59:17 Frans_Knibbe has joined #lgd 11:59:49 ... here to find out how to do things better and improve openness in air quality data. 11:59:54 ManoMarks has joined #lgd 12:00:29 Bente Lilja Bye: from Norway. Representing small companioes using EO data to bridge the gap to societical applications. 12:00:31 LarsG has joined #lgd 12:01:04 ... Social aspects of data policy also come into play. 12:01:59 eparsons has joined #lgd 12:02:26 AndreaPerego has joined #lgd 12:02:37 Whether we like it or not: people are generating data via social media. 12:03:20 There are some issues, we need to know the quality of the data, can you thrust this data (filtering), need to integrate this in the systems that make decisions. 12:03:22 ... most of the data were using is authoritative. However, social data say around a crisis. How do we make that data interoperable and integrated it into decison making systems. How can we ascertain the quality of socially sourced data and factor that into decision making processes. 12:03:24 BillOates has joined #lgd 12:03:42 Discussion Time: 12:05:10 @Stuart - to clarify at 11:52 - Dicky is potentiallyvlinking to SeaVoX Gazetteer, not SISSVoc (http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C19/current/) 12:05:17 Bart ??? from OGC: Question to panel viz Chris point. EO data is quite large. Tend to download to process it locally. How about taking the procing power to the data and resuslts to the user. 12:05:49 Gianfranco Gliozzo from UCL/ZSL for Bente Lilja Bye: are you also combining data with environmental observations from citizens? I am referring to citizen science. 12:06:05 CL: A rule of super comuting is that computation is free. Data is so big now that you have to leave it where it is and take the applciation to the data. 12:07:40 JT: We collaborate around the world. Now looking at ways to bering up 'cloud' based apps adjacent to the data where its is. Challenge to get levels of agreement about platform standatrd and how to be confident runing someone elses code on your box. 12:08:16 vicchi has joined #lgd 12:08:24 BLB: noting the public efforts to build maps in support of disasters like the Beijing flooding (??) 12:09:03 DA: we don't deal with tera bytes of data, but we have ways of users being able to subselect our data. 12:10:07 TB: The problem of moving computation to data is beginning to be recognised in infrastructure. Web service APIs are good for small amounts of data. 12:10:48 TB: Lets not forget aout file formats/serailisation. 12:11:00 DanCooper Hants CC 12:12:15 Dan Cooper Hampshire Council: Looking to release councils aerial data soon... trying to figure out how they should do it? How would users want to access it? and in the context that it will incur some cost to provide. 12:13:02 TB: Map services can be quite challenging. Just making the images simply available is a really good first step. 12:13:15 rhwarren has joined #lgd 12:13:44 JT: Yes concur... that the sort of thing the Meto have been doing. Good metadata... KML wrapping. 12:14:15 CL: Don't view publishing INSPIRE as a pain. Look for the benefits that you can gain. 12:15:31 Fionalm has joined #lgd 12:15:33 Agggh all thos TBs' are not TB... I think its Jon Blower. 12:15:43 ayymanduh has joined #lgd 12:17:13 Steve Peters DCLG: Moving into interesting times with socially/crowd sourced information and reporting. Challenging to official sources. How should stanadard evolve to put officially sourced and crowd sourced data on a level playing field. 12:17:22 PhilA: The most important star of Linked Data is the first star - get your data out there with an open license on it. 12:17:40 BLB: ISO/OGC et. al. should be looking at this. 12:18:08 ... need different kinds of standard. 12:18:51 Bart ??: EU has funded 5 citizen data observatories. 12:19:09 LarsG has joined #lgd 12:19:21 ... GeoBigwa(sp?) for applying quality labelling to spatial data sets. 12:19:39 ... OGC participates on one of these citizen observatories. 12:21:08 JT: Crowd source Weather Observation Website. This info is used alongside official data. But at present not used as input to forcasting models - data quality issues. 12:21:23 crowdsourced environmental information also referred as one of the forms of citizenscience 12:22:13 Tony Bush: Data quality flags are essential. Danger of conflicting message between official and crowd sourced data. 12:23:22 Chris Little: We rely on the 'community' to do their own quality control. Means to express data quality and community may comment on each others observations. 12:25:00 Bente Lilja Bye: Wanted to mention near real time aspects. Particularly important in disaster situations. Even evaluation of authoritative data quality in near real time is already challenging. 12:25:23 Dicky Allison: missed comment 12:25:53 Tony Bush: Mention of UK DEFRA open data strategy - publish up front and then improve later. 12:26:27 Alex: Yse... growing experience of practice. Feedback has been valuable in improving the data. 12:26:36 bert_ has joined #lgd 12:27:40 Keith May, English Heritage: We've put up some heritage data: freshly discovered that one of our terms has been use by someoneelse. How do we find these things out. 12:28:06 Phil A: Plug for best practice work, data citation vocabuilaries. 12:28:24 ???: Mention of Billions of triples challenge. 12:28:59 Janderl has joined #lgd 12:29:13 Herman Stehouwer: Please cite data so that in the future we can measure data citation. 12:29:40 ??? = Andreas Harth 12:29:52 Alex: call to action: think about the standards we need and the gaps we need to fill. 12:30:04 Que next scribe :-) 12:30:17 Ah.. that will be Phil! 12:30:42 PhilA: many standards organisations in the room.

GeoKettle is a well known open source tool for working with geodata; performance is reliable 14:57:22 ... happy to share offline 14:57:29 Session is now complete. 14:57:39 Scribe: JohnGoodwin 14:57:54 PhilA: gets next session of Lightning Talks underway 14:58:09 now onto Lightning Talks: An Alternative Projection 14:58:33 pezholio has joined #lgd 14:58:35 scribenick: JohnGoodwin 14:59:13 Next speaker: Andrea Harth 14:59:14 Geospatial Data Integration with Linked Data and Provenance Tracking 14:59:33 boricles_ has joined #lgd 15:00:08 continuing love story from previous talk 15:00:43 s/Andrea/Andreas/ 15:01:07 discussing mapping between geosparql, neogeo and location core vocabularies 15:01:22 helps to integrate datasets on superficial level 15:02:41 discussing different geomtry representations - many options 15:03:12 just public geometry online - give it a URI for a first start 15:04:18 No SPARQL for querying RCC relationships on the web 15:04:28 RESTful API instead 15:04:48 claim is this scales better than arbitary SPARQL 15:05:17 If you want to SPARQL do it locally 15:05:22 HadleyBeeman has joined #lgd 15:05:40 check out NeoGo vocab http://geovocab.org 15:05:55 dennis__ has joined #lgd 15:05:58 Questions for Andreas 15:08:19 Phil Archer: Why do NeoGeo when there is GeoSPARQL - what does it add? 15:08:56 Andreas: NeoGeo started in GeoVoCamp in Washington - overlap in development with that and GeoSPARQL 15:09:19 ... content negotiation on geometries in NeoGeo 15:09:29 ... still some minor differences 15:09:45 ... neogeo more nimble to make changes 15:10:22 Phil Archer: Should the API not SPARQL approach be extended to other domains? 15:11:05 Andreas: expecations raised with SPARQL endpoint high - people do expensive queries 15:11:36 ... use SPARQL locally 15:12:20 ?: should more restrive APIs be put on top of SPARQL? 15:12:38 s/?/Rein/ 15:13:24 vcp has joined #lgd 15:13:37 Next speaker: Mano Marks 15:13:55 Geospatial Data and Linked Data 15:14:37 Perspective of Google for geospatial linked data 15:15:10 the knowledge graph - underpinning Google search 15:15:44 geospatial data and linked data both aiming to integrate data from disparate datasets around a single tihng - i.e. location 15:16:46 many geospatial data formats and libraries are closed and hard to understand - including semantic web 15:17:46 in 2000s number of standards emerge (KML, GeoJSON, microdata, GeoRSS, GPX, GTFS etc. etc.) 15:18:13 microdata - add small bits of machine readable content to website 15:19:05 ineresting problem areas to work on: tooling and libraries 15:19:18 s/ineresting/interesting 15:19:39 questions... 15:20:17 ?: How does Google pick next best thing to index? 15:20:38 Mano Marks: based on usefulness 15:21:25 ... interested in GeoJSON as a 'standard' 15:21:45 Leigh Dodds: JSON-LD solves number of prolems 15:21:55 s/polems/problems 15:22:14 Backing from e. g. schema.org is important, too 15:23:00 Question at 15:20 from Charlton Galvarino 15:23:33 s/?/Charlton Galvarino/ 15:25:20 Mano Marks: GeoJSON interesting new emerging format 15:25:36 Web developers allergic to XML 15:25:42 Charlton's q: Mano mentioned indexing and using indexing to promote sharing of geospatial data. Lead to Charlton asking, after exerimenting with GeoSparql indexing, how do Google choose what may be next best to index? 15:27:55 Mano: GML and KML are presentation formats, not storage formats 15:28:29 ?: will Google push JSON-LD and GeoJSON as standards? 15:29:00 Mano Marks: probably not, maybe? 15:29:17 Phil Archer: JSON-LD is W3C standard, can do same for GeoJSON 15:29:28 Next speaker: Raphael Troncy 15:29:30 Modeling Geometry and Reference Systems on the Web of Data 15:29:50 work from the Data Lift project does with IGN France 15:30:11 talking about modelling coordinate reference systems 15:30:56 Overview of coordinate systems, projections etc etc - so many to choose from 15:32:26 world coordinate converter http://twcc.free.fr - beware advertising popups 15:33:16 Data lift - develop REST based coordinate conversion service 15:33:44 pauljcripps has joined #lgd 15:34:09 mainly converts WGS84 to Lambert93 and vice versa 15:34:24 motivation - to link geographical datasets 15:34:58 this tool with LIMES allows to integrate datasets 15:35:34 vocabulary for CRS: http://data.ign.fr/ontologies/ignf# 15:35:55 ontology for geometries http://data.ign.fr/ontologies/geom# 15:36:07 Hugh Glaser: How accurate are these tools 15:36:27 Raphael Troncy: marginal errors 15:37:17 Leigh Dodds: can this vocab be used to describe coordinates on the moon? 15:37:23 Raphael Troncy: Yes 15:38:03 ?: GeoSPARQL allows for specification of CRS? 15:38:25 Raphael Troncy: yes, but all embedded in big literal. This is structural represenation of the CRS 15:39:05 Frans: could someone look up axis order for CRS (e..g. lat/long or long/lat) 15:39:11 Raphael Troncy: No 15:39:49 ?: Does this work with polygons? 15:39:59 Raphael: just points a tthe moment 15:40:14 End of talks. Discussion time. 15:40:16 But can convert a list of points, too 15:40:35 I agree with the comment done by Raphael about this point on encoding crs in GeoSPARQL. See thread at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-locadd/2013Dec/0009.html 15:40:38 lindavandenbrink has joined #lgd 15:40:48 Leigh Dodds: are we in a situation where we have standardised to early? 15:42:05 Peter Parslow: culture clashes between top down standards approach, and bottom up lets just do it approach. Should we give up on standards from top down? 15:43:06 Mano: early in out history - standards bodies still have role to play. Consider emerging practices and watch 15:43:27 Andreas: What Mano said 15:44:09 Phil Archer: standards are never done top down. Every working group is there because people in the community want it to happen. 15:44:17 ... people write standards 15:45:11 ... standards development is cyclic 15:46:01 ClemensPortele has joined #lgd 15:47:04 Peter Parslow: discusses GML vs GeoJSON and how most developers don't seem to want XML anymore 15:49:10 Ed Parsons: we do have standards that can be implemented in the real worlds. Standards have to work 15:49:32 TimDuffy has joined #lgd 15:50:44 jtandy has joined #lgd 15:51:11 Andreas Harth: Requirements in the corporate world are different from those on the web: on the web it doesn't matter if you miss something, corporate data often demands high precision 15:55:33 Leigh Dodds: easy to pull down too much data in geospatial linked data - how do we get round this? 15:56:16 Andreas: differnet predicates for different predicates 15:56:45 s/differnet/different/ 15:57:00 Andrea: different predicates for different geometry types - e.g. 'centroid' for the coordinate centroid, and others for other geometries 15:58:47 Raphael: usecases for geometry as big literal vs geometry stored in the 'graph' - audience, what are your usecases for geometry in the graph...so you can manipulate geometry in the graph? 15:59:23 Stuart: territorial disputes? 15:59:26 GeoLinkedData.es also represented complex geometries as structured RDF objects 16:00:09 Ordnance Survey linked data used 'big literal' approach 16:01:43 Jeremy Tandy: the key is...what do the tools support - that will give you the answer 16:05:40 Session over - coffee 16:06:32 RRSAgent, draft minutes 16:06:32 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/03/05-lgd-minutes.html PhilA 16:18:30 AndyS has joined #lgd 16:27:52 AdamL has joined #lgd 16:28:24 LarsG has joined #lgd 16:31:01 pduchesne has joined #lgd 16:31:06 Gianfra has joined #lgd 16:32:10 peterisb has joined #lgd 16:32:13 boricles has joined #lgd 16:32:32 scribe: PhilA 16:32:41 scribe: pduchesne 16:32:47 ClemensPortele has joined #lgd 16:32:50 scribeNick: pduchesne 16:32:55 Session: It's about time 16:33:00 ocorcho has joined #lgd 16:33:44 Shift happens - Steve Peters 16:33:52 Speaker is Steve Peters (paper at http://www.w3.org/2014/03/lgd/papers/lgd14_submission_12) 16:34:17 Slides are at http://www.w3.org/2014/03/lgd/peters-roberts-temporal-change 16:34:35 Steve: There's a need to get at the statistics 16:34:46 two interesting dimensions : need to get at underlying sources for statistical data... 16:35:04 Alex_Coley has joined #LGD 16:35:12 second, the need to distinguish between geo footprints and organisations 16:35:22 pauljcripps has joined #lgd 16:35:38 16:36:02 aharth has joined #lgd 16:37:02 (BOUNDARY) 16:37:09 (Boundary) Shift Happens 16:37:23 Steve: shows boundary changes in Cornwall from multi-district to single council, all new identifiers, new departments etc. 16:37:32 steve peters, dept for communities and local government 16:37:57 steve: need to record provenance of data points for statistics 16:38:40 bill roberts: we're addressing a versioning problem, how do real-world concepts change rather than how documents change 16:39:39 bill: represent changing linked data over time, make possible for people to see how things looked in the past 16:40:12 bill: also, which services are provided by which authorities over time (for example, trash collection) 16:40:49 bill: current vs. historic datasets that describe previous states 16:41:19 hugh has joined #lgd 16:41:38 bill: use epimorphic's version:currentVersion and dct:hasVersion, dct:replaces 16:42:32 bill: plan is worked out, now we need to implement the plan 16:43:39 bill: we have a suggestion for a versioning pattern, but are interested in other re-usable patterns 16:44:13 applause 16:45:09 rein van tverr, the netherlands: geospatial semantics 16:45:30 rein: den foundation, digital heritage netherlands 16:45:49 pezholio has joined #lgd 16:45:50 rein: sharing knowledge and tools 16:46:18 rein: three layered architecture: 1 data & aggregation, 2 semantics, 3 applications 16:47:21 rein: provide linked data services and geospatial services on layer 1 16:47:42 rein: provide enrichment services on level 2 to add vocabularies to data 16:48:00 rein: not provide 3 application layer; applications are supposed to come from industries that have use for the data 16:49:23 martintuchyna has joined #lgd 16:49:47 rein: we need a geo-semantic marriage 16:50:28 TimDuffy has joined #lgd 16:50:37 rein: we like complex spatial joins (is object of type x in vicinity of object of type y?) 16:50:57 aw has joined #lgd 16:51:15 rein: and also several other features from both semantics and geospatial 16:51:49 rein: really like spatial technologies on the web for mapping data 16:52:04 rein: experiments with geosparql after geoknow study 16:52:29 rein: what it takes to get data in, to query data, to combine it with a web mapping framework 16:53:14 rein: demo, two datasets, one about monuments, one about archeological observations 16:53:53 rein: shows demo of simple spatial filtering (works fast) 16:54:23 rein: want only observations done inside the monuments, query that intersects monuments with observations (takes a bit longer) 16:54:46 rein: 20 secs! 16:55:42 rein: main questions: 1) what solution to choose, 2) is GeoJSON-LD the way to go?
