[Sigsti-l] Ontologies in the Space & Earth Sciences

[Joe Hourcle]

I appologize if this is off topic -- I'm new to the list, and there's not
enough past traffic for me to tell exactly what are acceptable topics.

I was at a workshop last week for 'Ontologies for the Space and Earth
Sciences', and realized that I was the only person with a library
background at the meeting -- it was mostly scientists, and a few folks
advising on ontologies from an Artificial Intelligence direction:

It was indirectly attached to the AGU meeting's 'Earth and Space Sciences
Informatics' section:

As the members of the workshop didn't seem to be aware of the existance of
ASIS&T, I thought I would try to reach out to this community, and see if
anyone might be working on similar things, or would be interested in
working on ontologies of this nature.


I noticed that there was a session on Science Ontologies at ASIS&T 2005
meeting, so I'm hoping this is the right place to ask.  If it isn't, and
you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
