I am interested, though curious about how you’ll include all that in GEO land, and who your science PIs will be.

There are several folks who have come forward on this list already. Several of them already have been/are currently successful in obtaining NSF funding so I would suggest a strong proposal would include those folks, and essentially build off of and strengthen the semantic components/aspects of existing DIBBs (or other project(s)) they have. I also have some collaborators from CalTech we could loop in.

I was thinking more in terms of one of the big  infrastructure components, getting money to fund a semantic operational resources center. But that will also need scientists, and from an odd set of domains.

Personally, I think that this would be aiming towards the higher end of the $1M ceiling per year. It was mentioned on the call that such proposals need to demonstrate directly and strong application to clear, well defined science problems. This would in turn mean that, as you stated, we need (i) either a bunch of willing scientists on the proposal or (ii) to tap into existing community(ies) which have a dire need for our proposal.

For everyone interested in learning for about the call specifics, see the following URL

If you browse to the bottom of the page, you will see the audio and presentation resources.

Hi Folks,
We mentioned, at the very very end of today’s call, that there is a brand-new NSF call out

https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18531/nsf18531.pdf
I would like to initiate a thread for putting a team together to advance our semantic technologies roadmap through a Semantic Software Framework which will meet the directorate specific priorities of the NSF Directorate for Geoscience (GEO).

I’ve provided an overview of what GEO is looking for below.
I have a concept in mind which would combine the following semantic technologies; COR, BioPortal, RDF, SPARQL, GeoSPARQL, SPARLQL-ST with VR/AR Technologies to promote seamless discovery, access, and transfer of data and metadata across data resources and centers that are supported by GEO.

What I would like to know initially who would be interested in progressing the idea of putting together a ESIP SemTech (and others) proposal team?

=======================================

The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) is interested in the following research fields: atmospheric and geospace science, earth science, ocean science, and polar science. The directorate welcomes proposals that focus on the development and implementation of automated, executable, and optimized workflows that:
·         are capable of real- and near-real-time archiving and manipulation of sensor and other field-based data, including experimental and/or simulation data;
·         promote seamless discovery, access, and transfer of data and metadata across data resources and centers that are supported by GEO;
·         “leverage-through-sharing” of existing investments in university, federal, and commercial computing and infrastructure;
·         engage community models for the assimilation and use of data for initialization, state estimation, or sensitivity analysis; and
·         encourage the development or reuse of computational techniques (i.e., high-performance distributed computing, machine learning, cloud computing, etc.) without which simulations would be difficult to conduct or large volumes of data could not be manipulated, analyzed, and transferred. The proposed computational techniques must be framed as sub-tasks within the proposed workflow.

All workflows must be designed to overcome significant bottlenecks to solving compelling Earth science questions.

Programmatic areas of interest within GEO include:

The Office of Polar Programs (OPP)
is interested in activities that advance understanding of the current and future states of
high latitude ocean circulation, atmospheric conditions, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and biogeochemistry, and the
mechanisms that drive the seasonal evolution of sea and land ice melt. OPP welcomes interdisciplinary research that focuses
on how the components of the polar regions (land, atmosphere, ocean, sea and land ice, etc.) interact as a system, with
feedbacks and unanticipated emergent properties. OPP also welcomes proposals related to polar astrophysics and geospace
research. Investigators who are interested in Arctic social science research are encouraged to also read the SBE
Programmatic Areas of Interest below, and to contact the cognizant OPP and SBE program officers.

The Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS)
is interested in answering fundamental science questions related
to atmospheric and geospace research, including a wide variety of important processes that impact humans and society, such
as space weather, tropospheric weather, physical and dynamic meteorology, climate, and air quality.

The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR)
is interested in improving our understanding of the structure, composition, and evolution
of the Earth, the interaction with life, and the processes that govern the formation and behavior of the Earth's materials. EAR
interests include the fields of "solid-earth" science (geology and paleontology, geochemistry, geophysics, continental
hydrology, geomorphology, tectonics, and geobiology).

The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE)
is interested in activities that advance understanding of all aspects of the global
oceans and ocean basins, including their interactions with people and the integrated Earth system.
