>> Abstract: Version 3.0.0 of the Semantic Web for Earth and

>> hugely popular OBO Foundry collection, W3C SOSA/SSN, W3C PROV-O,

>> This session will be aimed at both new comers and experienced

>> Attendees will leave with a significantly improved understanding of 
>> what SWEET currently is, what it will become and how one can use it 
>> for a wide variety of scenarios.

>>    Capturing and representing geospatial and spatiotemporal dimensions of
>>    geographic knowledge is a great challenge from both theoretical 
>> and applied
>>    perspectives. Latest advances in knowledge representation and ontology
>>    engineering have spurred a number of traditional and novel 
>> geoprocessing
>>    applications such as intelligent search and geographic information
>>    retrieval, image understanding, integration of disparate and
>>    multi-provenance spatial and spatiotemporal data, knowledge 
>> discovery from
>>    Big Data, visual representation of geographic categories, information
>>    extraction from unstructured sources, and many others.
>>
>>    Encouraged by well-received special sessions on ontology and 
>> semantics for
>>    several years now, we are again soliciting presentations on both
>>    theoretical and applied aspects of geospatial and spatiotemporal 
>> ontologies
>>    for a series of special sessions at the 2018 Association of
>>    American Geographers Annual Meeting. We invite presentations 
>> focusing on
>>    one or more of the following (or other related) areas of ontology 
>> research:
>>
>>
>>
>>    ?     Spatial and spatiotemporal knowledge modeling, analysis,
>>    formalization, and validation (thesauri, vocabularies and ontologies)
>>
>>    ?     Semantic interoperability across domains, cultures, ethnicities,
>>    languages and time, spatiotemporal models and reasoning
>>
>>    ?     Semantic annotation methods, provenance, and standards for 
>> spatial
>>    knowledge representation and processing (e.g. XML, RDF, RDFS, OWL)
>>
>>    ?     Semantic extensions to spatial data infrastructures for the IoT,
>>    sensor networks, VGI, and other application areas
>>
>>    To present a paper or to participate in the session as a
