[esip-semantictech] scheduling demo of Doug's CDF registry

[Mcgibbney, Lewis J (398M)]

Hi Doug,
I wonder if you’ve ever taken a look at the following

Also, with regards to the community PROV challenge, which of your existing concepts (https://esipfed.ideascale.com/a/idea-v2/215365 ???) currently aligns most closely with your presentation today? 
I’m CC’ing SemTech community as I think this is a conversation which others will be interested in.
Thank you for the presentation. You guys are doing some excellent work.
Lewis

    Beth, 
       I am presenting a poster on this this week at EarthCube All Hands  so your timing is good.   We have been able to get some good interest in this approach at this meeting.  
    
    June 27th would be fine.  I would be more than happy to present.  With respect to abstract, please see the text at the end of this email and see if that works.  Let me know any edits or suggestions you have to it.  One could also include the link to the PDF of the poster as well in any announcement. [1]
    
    Take care
    Doug

    Abstract  (based on poster abstract)
    
    The EarthCube Council of Data Facilities (CDF) formed the Registry Working Group to review alignment of existing approaches to research facility description and discovery.  The involved parties include the EarthCube CDF, Coalition for Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (COPDESS) and the Registry of Research Data Repositories (re3data).  
     
    The group is addressing:
     
    - Formalizing a set of repository parameters of interest to CDF members.
    - Reviewing the alignment of those parameters with re3data and COPDESS with the goal of schema extension. The plan is to leverage the re3data schema by means of community profile.
    - Developing strategies for a more structured common approach for CDF members to express/expose this information. 
    - Developing a means to encode this schema in a machine readable format and bring forward a possible implementation for publishing and subscribing to this data.
    - Demonstrating the use of schema.org for publishing and accessing this data and explore gaps in this approach and recommend solutions.
    - Working with the re3data editorial board and governance on approaches to leverage re3data as a reference implementation for collecting and exposing this data. 
     
    By providing a common pattern for facilities to expose links to existing work already completed in service and resource description documents (SWAGGER, OGC, THREDDS, etc.), a broader audience can be achieved. Furthermore, facility description through approaches like the re3data schema registry enhance exposure.
     
    Additionally, a lower barrier to entry, and a minimal maintenance burden are achieved through use of existing web-based architecture and best practices.
     
    These approaches are done by the working group with the reference EarthCube architecture in mind.   They are viewed as contributions along the path to addressing resource discovery and assessment goals of the architecture.

        Good morning Doug, Lewis, and Andrea,
        
        Doug, I put off scheduling your demo because we were catching up on 
        agenda over-flow items and also needed to work on the ESIP summer 
        meeting plans. But I think we could accommodate a demo at our next 
        meeting, which will be June 27. (The July meeting will be cancelled 
        because it occurs during the week of the summer meeting.) If June 
        doesn't work for you, then maybe the August 29 meeting. Let us know what 
        works for you. I'd like to advertise the presentation widely both to 
        other ESIP groups, and maybe around NASA and NOAA and USGS, in order to 
        get potential adopters of semantic technologies to start seeing what is 
        happening in the world of semantics and how it can help them. So if you 
        could write a small advertisement for your presentation (soon, if you 
        want to do it this month), that we could blast out to appropriate 
        recipients, that would be really helpful. Let us know what your date 
        preference is. (If neither June nor August is good, we can do it in 
        September, too.)
        
        Thanks,
        
        Beth
