It sounds like fun, but I'm already booked for that day and the next.

The SWS TC needs to be represented at this meeting. Any voluteers?

Surely one of us will be in or near beautiful downtown Atlanta,
mid-September.

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.
