Device Ontology: plan for a release

• The discussion was mainly on item 2)  Device Ontology: plan for a release  , some ideas were:
• The initial release needs to include a specific application of the ontology.  For example searching for several diverse systems that were used n the same time in the same geographical area (ie. shipboard sonar and a buoy mounted system for temperature and salinity).
• Need to define terms carefully as a term such as "multibeam" may have a very specific meaning and use to some people, but not to others.
• Action Items: 
• Bob and Nan will each instantiate an example for a particular sensor/system that  could be used for the specific example as discussed
• Luis to report on W3C and possible collaboration with them.
• A deadline for the initial release might be the Ocean Sciences 2010 meeting this February, as several team members will be presenting there.
• Luis B. via email:
  
  • Last Saturday SURA hosted the face to face meeting of the W3C Semantic Sensor Network working group. - Folks at the meeting sort of agree to have an ontology that should align with SensorML and O&M. These will be ready in the next 2 weeks.
  • More details and proposed actions in his email.
