[Esip-envirosensing] EnviroSensing Cluster WebEx meetings

[Henshaw, Don]

Hi everyone,
As you may have seen in the weekly ESIP Update, the EnviroSensing Cluster will be changing its regular WebEx meeting time and will now be meeting the first Monday of each month at 2:30 ET. Our next meeting will be February 1st at 2:30 ET.  We will be discussing leadership of the EnviroSensing collaboration area, entertaining ideas for this next series of WebEx meetings from now through June, and we will hear from Janet Fredericks (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) about her XDOMES (Cross-Domain Observational Metadata Environmental Sensing) Network project.

XDOMES was funded by NSF as part of the EarthCube Integrative Activities.  This project's primary goal is to work with sensor manufacturers to encourage them to begin to fully-describe sensors using a combination of controlled-vocabularies, OGC-SWE  SensorML and the Semantic Web.  XDOMES will develop the tools that are needed to automate content generation and register the content for easy, reliable and persistent access. Project personnel are also planning to work with stake-holders to define what content is needed to provide fully-described sensor metadata and test some of the products in their data management systems.  They will look to the ESIP EnviroSensing community to help in this effort.

I would also like to reiterate that Alison Adams (University of Vermont ) is the new ESIP student fellow working with us in the EnviroSensing cluster. Welcome Alison!

Please join us on Monday, Feb 1st  2:30 ET! A reminder announcement will include connection information.
