[esip-semantictech] schema.org, roadmap, symposium matters

[Adam Shepherd]

Hi folks, thanks for getting his started on all the many fronts!

I would agree with Lewis about a schema.org <http://schema.org> session 
at US2TS. It might be nice to look at how to properly extend schema.org 
<http://schema.org> in that context as it might draw Dan Brickley and/or 
Natasha to attend. I was thinking we could briefly review a successful 
extension (GS1), propose some extensions from the geosciences (improving 
temporal coverage of Dataset - with OWL Time, SWEET,) and use mode of 
the time brainstorming on the mechanics of the extension (how best to 
link into schema.org <http://schema.org> core classes and properties) 
and constructing the data model for the extension (identify the new 
classes and properties needed to describe temporal coverage needs.

For ESIP winter meeting, I was thinking in advance of US2TS, we might 
propose more along a workshop session for building out the data model 
for this dataset temporal coverage model and/or describing data access 
APIs (as opposed to the static datasets schema.org <http://schema.org> 
describes).

If anyone doesn’t object, I’d be happy to write up both.

Best, Adam
