Subject: RE: [search-ws] Fw: OGC Geo-search Summit invitation
It sounds like fun, but I'm already booked for that day and the next.

Any voluteers? Surely one of us will be in or near beautiful downtown Atlanta, mid-September. --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Reed" <creed@opengeospatial.org> To: "Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress" <rden@loc.gov> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 1:53 PM Subject: RE: OGC Geo-search Summit invitation Dear Ray - The OGC Architecture Board has identified the need for having a special meeting on geospatial search as related to general search requirements for the web as well as how a generalized geospatial search model (and ultimately API) can be harmonized with the various catalogue and registry activities in the OGC, OASIS, and so forth. The invitation is below. As you may know, the OGC and OASIS have a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that is designed to foster and enable a close working relationship between the two standards organizations. I believe that this is an important agreement and why someone really knowledgeable with the WS-Search activity should try to attend this summit. Regards Carl Invitation Letter --------------------- Geospatial description and discovery of resources is becoming a critical opportunity and challenge for many communities and enterprises. The requirements expressed by various groups are broad but have many common elements, such as discovery of both data and service resources within a services framework. Work on service and resource description and discovery is being done in multiple standards organizations as well as in the open source community. There has also been considerable discussion about the OGC Catalogue Service standard and how it could better align with community and industry practices and emerging technologies. Results to date show many positive but incomplete signs of convergence. In order to enhance collaboration and improve convergence, the OGC Architecture Board has recommended that OGC convene a summit to discuss geospatial search technology. The scope of discussion will include requirements, proposed solutions, and implementation experience. Planned discussion includes requirements, proposed solutions, and implementation experience. The goals of the summit are: 1) to identify points of convergence or harmonization among prominent search and retrieval practices on the Internet, and 2) to begin the process of cross-community collaboration to identify a common and consistent geospatial search mechanism for internet and web resources. The summit is scheduled for Monday, September 15th from 10 AM until 5 PM(or later). The meeting will be collocated with the OGC Technical Committee meetings in Atlanta, Georgia (sponsored by ERDAS). The OGC and the geospatial search community welcomes your attendance at this important event. If you can attend, please let Greg Buehler (gbuehler@opengeospatial.org) and myself know.
