[Esip-semanticharmonization] [EXTERNAL] recording link from (10/21/20) ESIP Semantic Harmonization 1 hour group meeting

[Mcgibbney, Lewis J (172B)]

Very useful Gary thank you.

Quick question for everyone. It looks like SemHarm telecon’s are the best place to bring SWEET topics for community discussion. If this is the case then I’m going to need to rejuggle my calendar.

Here is the link to the recording of today's  1 hour Semantic Harmonization session.

We spent most of the time planning for the Winter ESIP submission, which we dragooned Ksi into drafting and what to follow up with.
Here are the notes we took as a group for the session:

·

·         ESIP Winter Meeting sessions

·          (prop DUE NOV 5)  -what Semantic Harmonization means, what we have done and how to do it with a range of semantic resources -
·
·
o

o    includes inviting others

o     to our session to try to get a common conversation and this type of effort started up in their cluster and/or as a next round of our work.

Need “guidelines” for creating a good vocabulary (ontology)-- somewhat like attached paper but more specifically about creating OWL/RDF and what annotation properties, axioms, etc. to use   (EnvO as exemplar) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4750991/<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4750991/__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!d2YOFEx965_30QCXalbKeRjgM1wwEsWFO1z3idcKTFZr-_Pnr_9TqNe7jYJxxZ3AqCysZotzaykH$>

"The Narrow Corridor to Liberty
Our argument in this book is that for liberty to emerge and flourish, both state and society must be strong. A strong state is needed to control violence, enforce laws, and provide public services that are critical for a life in which people are empowered to make and pursue their choices. A strong, mobilized society is needed to control and shackle the strong state. Doppelgänger solutions and checks and balances don’t solve the Gilgamesh problem because, without society’s vigilance, constitutions and guarantees are not worth much more than the parchment they are written on.
Squeezed between the fear and repression wrought by despotic states and the violence and lawlessness that emerge in their absence is a narrow corridor to liberty. It is in this corridor that the state and society balance each other out. This balance is not about a revolutionary moment. It’s a constant, day‑in, day- out struggle between the two. This struggle brings benefits. In the corridor the state and society do not just compete, they also cooperate. This cooperation engenders greater capacity for the state to deliver the things that society wants and foments greater societal mobilization to monitor this capacity.
What makes this a corridor, not a door, is that achieving liberty is a process; you have to travel a long way in the corridor before violence is brought under control, laws are written and enforced, and the state starts providing services to its citizens. It is a process because the state and its elites must learn to live with the shackles society puts on them and different segments of society have to learn to work together despite their differences.
