[Esip-agclimate] Agriculture and Climate Cluster updates on summer meeting 2021 and wildfire knowledge management

[Brian Wee]

Hello Agriculture and Climate Cluster (ACC):

Updates:

1.  2021 ESIP summer meeting proposal focused on wildfires.  Our cluster
has partnered with the Semantic Harmonization Cluster to submit a meeting
proposal titled "Identifying technology capabilities that meet wildfire
science and practitioner requirements".  The focus will be a continuation
of our past discussions on informatics for knowledge management focused on
wildfires.  The proposal can be viewed at:

2.  Recent knowledge management webinar focused on wildfires.  The
recording of the most recent ACC monthly meeting has been posted to ESIP's
YouTube channel.  Guest speakers from the graph database company Neo4j
presented on "Knowledge Graphs for Environmental Risk Management: Technical
Overview of Neo4j Technologies for Semantics / AI / ML".  The recording is
accessible at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jEiTmqI4S4&t=424s.  Check

focused on wildfires.

3.  Free Neo4j book available until 2021-06-02.  The above webinar included
an offer from Neo4j to send interested parties a free copy of a Neo4j book
titled "O’Reilly Graph Algorithms: Practical Examples in Apache Spark &
