[esip-semantictech] Next ESIP Semantic Technologies Budget

[Mcgibbney, Lewis J (398M)]

Hi Tom,
At the last meeting, someone asked where last years budget wasŠ no one
seemed to know.
Do you know where it is so some of us new comers can get a peek into
format and content?
Off the top of my head, some things which were mentioned were
 * there may be nothing wrong with resubmitting/repurposing last years
budget req.
 * the Semantic Ontology Implementation/COR/whatever needs to be factored
into the budget
 * Bhaskar spoke very encouragingly about putting some kind of
paper/article/journal entry together representing the direction of
semantics within the Earth Sciences. Maybe we could request some budget
resources to drive this work on?
Thanks 
Thanks
