C4P Webinar on Computing with Geologic Time and Ontology Design Patterns Advances And Emergent Needs in Paleogeoscience Cyberinfrastructure Tuesday, August 26, 4-5pm Eastern Time. The topics for the next C4P Webinar are About the Upcoming Workshop 'Computing with Geologic Time' (Chris Jenkins, University of Colorado) and Ontology Design Patterns for Data Repository Integration (Pascal Hitzler, Wright State University). The link to the webinar is WebEx link for <https://earthcube.webex.com/earthcube/j.php?MTID=m1d75cd6ecd6d0b89484ac536eec7e004>August 26 <https://earthcube.webex.com/earthcube/j.php?MTID=m1d75cd6ecd6d0b89484ac536eec7e004>, 4-5pm ET (the date stated at the link updates weekly) If a password is required, enter the Meeting Password: 73131647 Note: if you have had problems logging on to the WebEx, inform us at [log in to unmask] For plain text postings where the link did not show up: Any updated links or information as well as the updated webinar schedule and archived presentations will be posted at http://workspace.earthcube.org/c4p/content/c4p-webinars About the Upcoming Workshop 'Computing with Geologic Time' (Chris Jenkins, University of Colorado) The Collaboration and Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeoscience RCN group will hold its second workshop on "Computing with Geologic Time" on November 7-9 in Boulder, CO. Chris Jenkins will give an overview of the motivations and expected outcomes of the workshop, which will cover the broad themes of Collecting and aggregating geologic time data, Computer Visualizations for Geologic Time, Harmonizing across Geologic Time Parameters, Legacy data resources, Data relationships: Seriation, Correlation, and Realizing and Representing Uncertainties. Ontology Design Patterns for Data Repository Integration (Pascal Hitzler, Wright State University) The integration of data for cross-repository information discovery remains a significant challenge. Traditional integration methods using centralised schemas are often insufficient if data volumes are high, topic coverage is wide, and if data sources are distributed, diverse, and serve different purposes. In this presentation, I will introduce the key ideas and rationales concerning recent advances on this topic, which we are currently applying within EarthCube to prominent data repositories in the ocean sciences (see http://www.oceanlink.org). Our approach rests decisively on the idea of using so-called ontology design patterns, which make it possible to establish a flexible, modular, extensible, and scalable metadata architecture for closs-repository discovery. Authors: Pascal Hitzler, Michelle Cheatham, DaSe Lab for Data Semantics, Wright State University Krzysztof Janowicz, STKO Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara The intended audience for this webinar is professional paleogeoscientists and cyber/computer scientists.
