[esip-semantictech] Working towards science-on-schema.org as an ESIP Standard/Guideline

[Beth Huffer]

Lewis,

Thanks very much for this. Great idea! There’s a related effort in the RDA Data Discovery Paradigms group that is seeking community consensus on a science schema for schema.org. They are putting together a survey that I think we should participate in, and we could help by soliciting responses from the larger ESIP community as well. I’ll reach out to the people leading that effort and see where that stands.

Beth

Subject: [esip-semantictech] Working towards science-on-schema.org as an ESIP Standard/Guideline

Hi Folks,
At the end of this week’s meeting, I spoke with Adam, Doug (very briefly) and Chuck and we ended up talking along the lines of creating a formal ESIP Standard/Guideline from science-on-schema.org [0]. This effort would essentially shadow what has been done for the ACDD [1] and Software and Services Citation Guidelines and Examples.
The purpose in doing this is as follows

  *   It gives the work at [0] more credibility and ensures that the content is peer reviewed by our community at large
  *   It brings together people who care about earth science extensions to schema.org. There are actually quite a few of us out there…
  *   It would be a huge step towards data providers actually implementing schema.org and associated extensions within their discovery and access interfaces.
  *   It enables us to focus the community voice such that we can approach commercial search providers with the aim of us continuing the work which has been done to date in this space. If we encourage and succeed in having search giants use this stuff, then it is a HUGE win for us all.
  *   It enables us to go to the W3C Schema.org community group [3], build relationships and create the path for us either proposing [4] a hosted extension or external extension to the schema.org project.

@Beth, Doug, Adam, Chuck, etc. what are your thoughts? Anyone else please chime in as well.
Thanks folks,
Lewis
