What[edit]

GeoVoCampSouthampton2011 will be a VoCamp focused on near-term geographic vocabularies for Linked Data. The Geo Web offers a massive amount of structured information that could greatly enhance the Web of Linked Data. However, to begin the convergence of the Semantic Web and Geo Web a small set of core vocabularies is needed. Once constructed, the "Web of Linked Locations" will make the Web appear as a massive distributed interoperable spatial database that interlinks locations with other locations, events, sensors, people and everything in between.

GeoVoCampSouthampton2011 seeks to continue the initial efforts of the W3C Geo XG, NeoGeoVoCamp and most recently the GeoSPARQL initiative at the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). We hope to blend participants from the Semantic Web as well as the Geo Web. If you are interested in the spatial projection of the Web of Linked Data, help us pioneer the new spatial frontier!


Besides, isn't it time we put the "geo graph" into "geography"?


Please list any geo vocabulary topics you'd like to discuss under the Topics section below.

Topics[edit]

Here people can suggest vocabularies and other things to work on. Just put a topic in the list and other people can put their names behind it to indicate interest in that topic.

Vocabularies, etc. I want to to work on[edit]

  • Core Vocabularies Discussion & Development (GeoSPARQL feature/geometry model, GeoSPARQL spatial relationships, feature types/points of interest, events/time/change)
  • Identify Auxiliary Vocabularies (Common Dataset/Named Graph geo metadata techniques, GeoProvenance, GeoVOID, additional spatial relationships(size,distance,direction,etc.)...)
  • Identify MUCH needed Open Source tools/extensions (GeoSPARQL, RDFizers, RDF publishing frameworks extensions, slippy map extensions, linked data browsers, etc.)
  • Identify Java based tools/extensions (Common vocabularies for ISO 19139 Metadata, RDFizers for geo metadata, etc.)

How Much[edit]

The VoCamp event itself is free, although participants will need to pay for their own travel and accommodation. Lunch will be provided free at Ordnance Survey.

Outcomes & Topics[edit]

Scaled Stuff[edit]

Group that planned a vocabulary for helping to specify services where the results might vary according to a scale.

For example (here, nearest, near, not-so-near), (now, imminent, soon, later) and (equivalent, same, closeMatch, similar).

Geometry[edit]

The goal of the group is to provide the basis of a vocabulary to encode complex geometries.

Metadata[edit]

Group discussed the metadata vocab for geo-spatial data. Emphasis was on ISO 19115/19139 standard metadata.

Change Over Time[edit]

Group to discuss temporal changes to data.

Hi From Chris[edit]

Nice to meet up with some of you guys last night. A couple of links discussed over drinks & dinner;

I won't make it tomorrow, day job and all that, but can be got hold of via http://id.ecs.soton.ac.uk/person/1248 or @cgutteridge or cjg@ecs.soton.ac.uk
