<p class="phone">Josh introduced the three deliverables of the XG's charter
for the benefit of new arrivals</p>

<h3 id="item02">Participant introductions:</h3>

<p class="phone">Jonathon from SRI: interest primarily in ISO 18026 (c.f.
SEDRIS) and whether it has relevance to deriving W3C geospatial standards</p>

<p class="phone">Bhavani and Alam from UT Dallas: Cybersecurity and GRDF</p>

<p class="phone">John Goodwin from OS: Ontologies from geospatial domain
knowledge,e.g. hydrology, topography.</p>

<p class="phone">Cathy Dolbear from OS: Team leader for linking geospatial
holdings to ontologies, including hydrology</p>

<p class="phone">Peisheng from GMU, working on translating semantic
representations of geospatial domain knowledge into workflows</p>

<p class="phone">Raj Singh from OGC: particular interest in making major
government and scientific specifications available to a broader audience.</p>

<h3 id="item03">GRDF presentation from Alam</h3>

<p class="phone"><a
href="http://129.110.96.150/grdf.pps">http://129.110.96.150/grdf.pps</a></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>John Goodwin:</cite> How close is this to GML-RDF?
(GML 1 serialization)? - Not yet examined.</p>

<p class="phone">Is this mainly RDFS entities, or are more OWL entities being
envisioned?</p>

<p class="phone">For example, axioms?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Cathy:</cite> Could open world assumption issue be
addressed by axioms?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Josh:</cite> Could open world problems be a result of
representing a feature "as a geometry" rather than "with a geometry".</p>

<p class="phone">John Goodwin: might look into DOLCE as well in terms of a
feature ontology</p>

<h3 id="item04">What should comprise a W3C geospatial ontology?</h3>

<p class="irc"><cite>satoru takagi:</cite> modularization</p>

<p class="irc">Minimum vocabulary for geographic information to reduce the
overlap</p>
