[Bessig] bessig community tech demo for international data week?

[soren scott]

Might be a nice idea to have a technical demo/session from BESSIG members
in addition to the community discussion. Our smaller discussion about what
kind of session would be valuable while in DC focused on demonstrating
clear value to the researcher and not on whizbang technical widget. So what
is the demonstrated value of the UNAVCO/EOL federated VIVO search? How has
LASP's instance helped their researchers with their research goals?
Likewise, what benefits do all of the efforts with ontology and vocabulary
creation (UNAVCO, Beth Huffer, ClearEarth) bring to their research
communities?

I have no horse in this race other than being firmly on Team Researcher
Engagement. So I'd hate, as part of this community, see this opportunity
missed. BESSIG would get visibility for community and for the impact of the
work of that community. Thumbs' up?

Cheers,
Soren
