Agenda
Topic 0: General Status/Announcements
Staffing and Subcontracting Plans Status reports on involvement of Carlos, Paul, Kris.
Plans for AGU (Poetry Kits! ?) Would we like to distribute some poetry kits via 'friends' at AGU? What would it take? We will have a lot of presence.
Talk Series at OGC Mountain View An hour on Monday is allocated to aspects of the semantic work at MMI (John, Carlos, Luis).
Topic 1: Proposal Prospects
The NSF SDCI solicitation has been released. It has a section of potential interest to MMI: II.2.B
Software for Digital Data
The Data focus area addresses software that promotes acquisition, transport, discovery, access, analysis, and preservation of very large-scale digital data in support of large scale applications or data sets transitioning to use by communities other than the ones that originally gathered the data. Examples of such datasets includes climatologic, ecologic, phonologic, observation data, sensor systems, spatial visualizations, multi-dimensional datasets correlated with metadata and so forth.
Specific focus areas in Software for Digital Data for the FY2010 SDCI solicitation include:
Documentation/Metadata: Tools for automated/facilitated metadata creation/acquisition, including linking data and metadata to assist in curation efforts; tools to enable the creation and application of ontologies, semantic discovery, assessment, comparison, and integration of new composite ontologies.
Do we want to pursue a proposal here? If so, what should be our strategy?
Topic 2: Definition of "MMI Proposal"
Andy Maffei has fulfilled his action item from last month, providing a definition of "MMI Proposal" for us to consider.
