Everyone,
Steve Baskauf and I are convening an RDF/OWL Task Group under the TAG. The main goals of the group will be to
i. develop use-cases and competency questions that include tests of biodiversity data discovery, exchange, and semantic reasoning;
ii. experiment with a variety of approaches to addressing the use cases;
and iii. provide well documented examples of RDF/OWL and SPARQL demonstrated to satisfy the use cases.
All are welcome to join the group, and to attend our kickoff meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2 - 5:30 PM, in New Orleans. Remote access will be available. If you plan on attending, please signup here: http://code.google.com/p/tdwg-rdf/wiki/KickoffSignup
(Note: if you participated in the recent discussion about the group on the tdwg-tag list, I added you as a committer to the wiki (http://code.google.com/p/tdwg-rdf/people/list), and you should have edit privileges. All others, please email me first (with your Google ID), so that I can add you.)
Looking forward to seeing you all next week - Thanks, Joel.
