At long last we have a hackathon date.  I am sorry to be slow getting it sent out.  I was waiting for someone to fill it out and just today noticed that they had!  Hopefully all of you who filled out the Doodle poll can still make it.  I am also forwarding to the ESIP semantic technologies committee list so anyone else into semantic sausage making can join.

The problem with the term thermokarst is that the rather influential glossary of geology (which of course you have to pay for) treats it as a landform or type of topography.  So permafrost folks use the term one way, geologists another.  Isn’t semantics fun?  Want to join our next ontology hackathon?  We will be discussing exactly these terms.

Morphological features of thermokarst topography include depressions (see alas); lakes (see oriented lake; thermokarst lake); mounds (see thermokarst mound); and small, more or less equidimensional depressions or pits.

>>>> Thermokarst landforms may be divided into active and inactive forms. Inactive thermokarst indicates that thermal equilibrium has been regained, whereas active thermokarst indicates continuing thermal disequilibrium. Thermokarst terrain is so named because of its superficial resemblance to the karst topography typical of limestone regions.

>>>>>>>>> In applying knowledge representation and reasoning techniques, knowledge is rarely taken as a single monolithic and static structure. Partitioning knowledge into distinct modular structures is central to organize, expand and amend knowledge bases. Also, understanding, representing and reasoning about context is essential for a correct use of knowledge modules and to correctly reason in changing situations. Finally, evolution of knowledge resources is an important factor influencing the quality and value of stored knowledge when new information is acquired.
>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>> Considering these needs, the 4th International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2019) offers the opportunity to discuss current work on practical and theoretical aspects of modularity, contextuality and evolution of ontology based knowledge resources. The workshop aims to bring together an interdisciplinary audience interested in these topics to discuss both theoretical and formal aspect, and to investigate the variety of application perspectives.
>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>> WOMoCoE 2019 is part of the 5th Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO 2019). The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together, address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.
