[esip-semantictech] Fall AGU ESSI session: JSON and the Geoscientists

[Mcgibbney, Lewis J (398M)]

Greetings 2018 Fall AGU (Washington DC) attendees,

Need a lingua franca for software configuration and data and metadata
exchange? Does XML seem clunky? Geoscience applications increasingly
embrace the clarity of JSON. Come see why, share your story, and learn
new techniques at our session...

Session Title: IN047. JSON and the Geoscientists
View Session Details: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/gateway.cgi

The topic is JavaScript Object Notation in geoscience applications.
The session is in eLightning format, i.e., a two-hour session where
presenters give 3-minute talks and then demo geoscientific JSON
strategies at big, interactive touch-screen monitors for the remainder
of the session. This year eLightning costs the same as traditional
abstracts. https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/elightning

Confirmed invited speakers are James Gallagher (OPeNDAP) and Chris
Barker (NOAA).

IN047: JSON and the Geoscientists
Organizers: Charlie Zender (UCI) and Lewis McGibbney (JPL)

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is an increasingly popular and
intuitive text format for data exchange. JSON serializations exist
geoscientific data, including TopoJSON, JSON-LD, hdf5-json, GeoJSON,
CovJSON, CF-JSON, NCO-JSON, and STAR JSON. Critical production-grade
software infrastructure also provide several mechanisms for
serializing JSON data retrievals. For example, OPeNDAP can produce
CovJSON responses to OPeNDAP queries, and ERDDAP can respond in
NCO-JSON. Thus, an era of metadata and data transmission via JSON has
begun.

ESSI is a natural venue for stakeholders to discuss JSON efforts,
goals, overlap, use-cases, and implementations. Stakeholders include
web application developers, developers at data centers that currently
distribute/expose spatial data, and users frustrated with XML-based
encodings. We invite contributions on JSON in geoscience workflows
including data modeling issues that showcase candidate JSON encodings
and explore their semantics, applications/workflows that leverage JSON
serialization for geoscientific data, and use-cases that might benefit
from JSON serialization to improve performance and/or
user-friendliness.

Please consider submitting your abstract. We hope to see you there!
