[Esip-semanticharmonization] Are people prepared for an ESIP Semantic Harmonization Cluster 2 hour group meeting in April

[Gary Berg-Cross]

The next Semantic Harmonization meeting is  scheduled for April 17 @ 4:00
PM - 6:00 PM EDT to again overlap with the SWEET meeting.
A Question is whether we will have the right people to be able to discuss
CMECS and harmonization with both SWEET and ENVO.
To have a productive meeting we would need a course set of vocabulary
items (Like
Beach or sand  or habitat/Aquatic Setting areas like Estuarine System ) from
CMECS  along with definitions and some idea about how they could align with
SWEETand ENVO.
Having Kate and Pier available would be instrumental to a productive
session.
So we should know if they are available before using this session for CMECS
harmonization...and if they have a start on a core vocabulary.

Below is a small example illustrating Beach as an concept in ENVO and CMECS.

CMECS

Beach (Levels 1 & 2) – A gently sloping zone formed by unconsolidated
material at the shoreline, typically with a concave profile. This zone
extends landward from the low-water line to either (a) the place where
there is a definite change in material or physiographic form (such as a
cliff) or (b) the line of permanent vegetation. Only those portions of the
beach within the splash zone would be within the CMECS system; areas of the
beach further inland are terrestrial systems.


Sub-types - Barrier Beach, Mainland Beach, Pocket Beach, Tide-Modified Beach
, Tide-Dominated Beach and Wave-Dominated Beach
