Hi Bhaskar and Folks,
I complete agree… a grounded definition, based upon how SWEET is actually used would be preferable (
Thank you to everyone who’s sent feedback for the AAG abstract. Please see below for the updated version which has merged everyone’s suggestions. If there is anything else, please let me know. Thank you
Title: SWEET Ontology Suite v3.0.0: Development, Alignments and Use Cases

Abstract: Version 3.0.0 of the Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) Ontology suite was recently released under new community management and governance by ESIP’s Semantic Technologies Committee. SWEET is a highly modular ontology suite with ~6000 concepts in ~200 separate ontologies covering Earth system science. SWEET is a mid-level ontology and consists of nine top-level concepts that can be used as a foundation for domain-specific ontologies that extend these top-level SWEET components. SWEET’s own domain-specific ontologies, which extend the upper level ontologies, can provide users interested in further developing a particular domain with a solid set of concepts to get started. SWEET ontologies are written in W3C Turtle; the Terse RDF Triple Language and are publicly available under the Apache License v2.0. This presentation will provide a three-pronged update on (i) advances in SWEET since its transition from NASA JPL over to the open source, community-driven management and governance structure now overseen by the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee, (ii) ongoing alignment activities with existing semantic technology resources such as the OBO Foundry collection, W3C SOSA/SSN, W3C PROV-O, etc., and (iii) uses of SWEET across old, new and unexpected domains including architecture, engineering and construction, provenance of science data product generation, search and information retrieval query expansion, article and text tagging, and a whole host more. This session aims to attract both new comers and experienced Geospatial and Spatiotemporal Ontology and Semantics enthusiasts. Attendees will leave with a significantly improved understanding of what SWEET currently is, what it hopes to become, and how one can use it for a wide variety of scenarios.

Lewis/Beth,
Here is something that probably warrants a brief discussion next week: I have seen SWEET being described as both an upper-level ontology by some (e.g., Raskin & Pan, 2005), & as a mid-level ontology by others (e.g., Fox et al., 2009). Given SWEET?s status as a collection of ontologies that exist at different levels of abstraction, and the fact that they help connect to domain-specific ontologies, you want to ensure that you describe it consistently. Others with SWEET experience can probably help decide ...

Hi Lewis,
Attached are wee suggested edits. I haven?t submitted an AAG abstract for quite some time & am not sure what their word limit is ? If it is more than the ~250 words in the current abstract, it would make sense to provide expansions for a few terms (e.g., ESIP, OBO, SOSA/SSN, etc.). If not, not a big deal ? Overall, it is concise & reads well.

Hi Folks,
With regards to Dalia?s message below I would like to submit the following abstract to the session at AAG. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge and credit ALL folks who have been involved with community involvement/development of SWEET since it came to ESIP.
So far, the names I have are as follows? if I?ve missed you then please let me know either on list or else directly. I think for the time being, we can do without affiliations. If these are required then I will reach out to folks.
Feedback on the abstract is appreciated.

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 discussant, submit
your abstract through AAG web site and email your PIN to Alex Sorokine (
SorokinA at ornl.gov<mailto:SorokinA at ornl.gov>). Please follow standard AAG abstract submission
procedure and guidelines. If you have any questions please forward them to
one of the organizers.
