[esip-semantictech] SWEET Ontologies - Open Source

[Mcgibbney, Lewis J (398M)]

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for posting this news… really good to hear this.
In order to bootstrap the governance of SWEET, we produced some community resources a while back


1.       How to work with us on Github [0] – a development workflow for anyone wishing to contribute to the STC public documentation generally and SWEET development specifically.

2.       SWEET Ontology Documentation [1] – a work in progress based off of the W3C Spatial Data on the Web Semantic Sensor Network Ontology documentation. This will probably act as the primary document representing SWEET as a resource for the Earth Science Semantics Community.

Within the next few days I’ll work with Thomas to ensure we make the current SWEET codebase available on the ESIPFED Github area with the appropriate licensing. We can then work specifically on bringing [1] up-to-date.

@Beth, it would be nice to have a 15 minute agenda item on this for our next meeting.
Thanks
Lewis

Subject: SWEET Ontologies - Open Source

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.
