<div class="meeting">
<h3 id="item01">Thoughts on Terra Cognita and ISWC'2006</h3>

<p></p>

<p class="phone">Josh: Enthusiasm for GSW but lack of specific response so
far</p>

<p class="phone">Peisheng: Colleague attended and appreciated the material
but also did not have specific reactions.</p>

<h3 id="item02">OWL definition of GeoRSS and use in RDFa</h3>

<p class="phone">Josh: Need to get an RDF/OWL version of GeoRSS done soon.
RDFa looks very favorable, then, for playing the role of geographic
microformat for tagging XHTML content instead of RSS because it does not
cause raw coordinate strings to show up in browsers.</p>

<h3 id="item03">Ontology work items and assignments</h3>

<p class="phone">Josh: Proposed ontology components listed on deliverable <a
href="../GeoOntology.html">page</a>. Discussion with David Martin at ISWC
that the Geospatial Web Services Ontology might form an elaboration of the
OWL-S process model relating to predicting service behavior for given
content.</p>

<p class="phone">Peisheng: GMU interested in working on Geospatial Metadata
Ontology and perhaps Geospatial Web Services Ontology.</p>

<p class="phone">Jonathan: Not familiar with SRI work relating to this, but
may be interested anyway..</p>

<h3 id="item04">SWS work items and assignments</h3>

<p class="phone">Action: Participants to review Geospatial Ontology
components and compare to their own interest / capacities for
contribution..</p>
</div>

<h2><a name="ActionSummary" id="ActionSummary">Summary of Action
Items</a></h2>
<!-- Action Items -->
<strong>[NEW]</strong> <strong>ACTION:</strong> All participants to comment
on Geospatial Ontology components and propose contributions to them.
