[esip-semantictech] SWEET Ontologies - Open Source

[Huang, Thomas (398G)]

Hello ESIP STC,

On March 1, 2017, I have received approval from JPL Technology Transfer office to open source the popular Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) Ontologies.  SWEET defines over 6000 Earth Science concepts and 200+ ontologies, created by Dr. Rob Raskin.  I have selected Apache License, Version 2 for SWEET. JPL will keep the current http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov site running for 1 year.  We would like to request ESIP to establish https://sweet.esipfed.org URL as the official distribution site.  Active development of SWEET will be managed under public github.com.  Lewis McGibbney and Ed Armstrong will work closely with the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee to establish the governance structure and the open source process to ensure smooth transition of SWEET ontologies.


Thanks

Thomas.
