[Esip-soil-informatics] Feb 10 meeting

[Todd-Brown, Kathe]

Thank you to everyone who made it onto the cluster call today! We talked about ways forward and got some feedback on next steps. Kathe T-B sketched out some possible future activities that could lead to new tools (or identification of existing tools) for data harmonization. Tanja W made a point of reminding us that we shouldn’t leave the qualitative human readable data descriptions behind as we move forward. Fenny vE identified some European data sets that we might consider in addition to CSIRO and NRCS. Margaret O offered to help process EDI data holdings by scraping up the meta-data registered for those data sets.

To get us started I’ve created a new repository. If you are familiar with a soil data product please help us get started by going here and identifying how layer level samples are described in the data: https://github.com/ESIPFed/SOI_harmonization/issues/1 and identify the soil data product itself here: https://github.com/ESIPFed/SOI_harmonization/issues/2 Or you can get in touch with me (Kathe) and I’ll be happy to wrangle contributions with a couple of questions. The next step will be to expand and recast the data description tables (see notes from 10-Feb https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_SIm_3e9xpni_64zdAU1DZrFEd8YcIerbsihDJq4qwY/edit?usp=sharing ) to capture these descriptions. I plan to duplicate the description tables from the soil_data_model_survey repository into this new SOI_harmonizaiton so no need to contribute to those tables directly right now. And finally I hope that the thesaurus will link to existing ontologies in the future (so INSPIRE folks, watch this space!).

If this activity gets traction we’ll talk about how to streamline this process to get more off-line engagement and start working up scripts to harmonize the data products using these tables.

Feel free to reply here if I missed anything. In this recap. As always, detailed notes are in the meeting document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_SIm_3e9xpni_64zdAU1DZrFEd8YcIerbsihDJq4qwY/edit?usp=sharing thanks to our fantastic undergrad scrib this week Lillian Haren!

Our next meeting is 24-Feb at 2300UTC and we’ll recap where things sit with this activity.

Greetings word-y soil folks,

We are meeting tomorrow (10 Feb) at 1700 UTC. On the agenda for tomorrow is a discuss the problem space, possible use cases, and our immediate ‘how’ as a cluster. To get us stared I’ve outlined what I’m currently hearing from the group in the agenda but I’m actively looking for feedback. We’ll go over this tomorrow but if you can’t make the meeting (or want to get a head start) go over to the agenda and drop some comments!

As a quick update we have two presenters scheduled for this spring; Emilio Mayorga on March 10th and Nic Jelinski on May 5th. If you know of someone doing neat work in data harmonization or soil ontology/sematics (or if YOU want to talk about the nifty stuff you are doing in this space) we have some spots open for this spring.

See you tomorrow!
