GeoVocamp UCSB 2015 March 23, 2014

• Vocamps have been active since 2008. GeoVocamps since 2011

• I have participated in:

• GeoVoCamp Dayton 2012

• GeoVoCamp SOCoP DC 2012

• GeoVoCamp Santa Barbara 2013

• GeoVoCamp DC 2013

• Decartes-Core GeoVoCamp Santa Barbara 2014

• GeoVocamp Madison 2014

• GeoVocamp DC 2014

So, we need to describe Trajectories and

Transformations of Materials

We need to describe what (transformation) happens at a

POI!

A Proto-Pattern for a Vocamp…

After the Vocamp Process…

What would you like to ask of the data?

• What resources are required to produce a product?

• Which of those resources are consumed during the production process?

• What is the minimum time required to produce a product?

• Given a set materials and their locations, is a particular transformation possible at a given moment in time?

Application of the pattern to data

A Concrete Example…

See what I did there…

Some Observations…

• Patterns naturally evolve, possibly independently of publication. Need patterns to track their evolution as well. Five Star Vocabularies1.

• Patterns are modular like Semantic Trajectory examples.

• Engineering of patterns, micro-theories, micro-ontologies is also evolving.

Work to be done…

• Material Object — Subclass of Physical Object, mereotopological relationships. PubChemRDF—SIO

• Explore idea of neighborhood.

• SPIN rules for calculation of values with-in query.
