Previous Action Points

• WeObserve sister projects to register in SciStarter
• Redirect the Lucy Video to OGC staff leading the Vocabularies activity. Post hoc annotation for data quality stories
• JM will analyze the data models behind the Anne list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d1Bq_DhBYDZmPAAicR-fEk3lerUqlXZ08Jbww9kLtK8/edit?usp=sharing (delayed)
• JM will check on the Peter Brenton list of data quality measures, EMAILED
• DONE: JM will reserve room at the EGU
• DONE: EP will elaborate a doodle

Email report

• • We were able to set up an SOS for our soil moisture data using the istSOS implementation. Although Simon Jirka and his colleagues very kindly and patiently answer our questions regarding the setup of the 52° implementation, we were not yet able to get it running. There are still runtime errors popping up, we are not able to resolve.
  • A master student of mine is currently implementing an extension for the mobile data collection toolkit Open Data Kit (ODK). The extension will allow for the semantic annotation of form elements using the form designer of ODK. Based on those annotations and a set of templates, data collected via a mobile application can be flexibly exported according to different data models. We think this could be quite useful for citizen science projects focusing on the collection of structured data via mobile applications. It would be nice, if we can present this work during our IE meeting at EGU.

• I am about to start describing interoperability profiles already part of the OGC specification family using the newly release Profiles Ontology, and I have been working on some low-level tasks around supporting JSON-LD.
• In the meantime the wiki notes I wrote are still relevant - start off by identifying those terminology vocabularies and interoperability requirements for the IE and forwarding them to me so I can stand them up as linked data resource examples.
• If Anne has a technical contact for her implementation project I can also touch base and discuss how to integrate such resources into their build.
• Lets move forward with practical steps - actual content, rather than any more abstract concepts.

Agenda

• Review of the list of resources
  • Call for reporting on SOS services and clients
  • Call for reporting on citizen science project databases and APIs
  • List of datasets about CitSci userful to analyze data models compiled by Anne Bowser. (Anne asked for a delay in examinnig this)
• Report on progress of the activities
  • V: Vocabularies for organizing Citizen Science projects Rob Atkinson - http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/CitSciIE/PublishingDefs
    • Ontology proposed to the international working group that is assessing it and eventually endorse or approved. Looking for a official position.
    • https://www.cs-eu.net/news/wg-5-deliverable-citizen-science-ontology
  • D: Data sharing using OGC standards such as O&M and SOS Simon Jirka (jirka@52northNOspamPlease.org)
    • While waiting for DLR istSOS implementation to be open, i would like to know the status of the "Hydrologic" implementation
    • I'm working on setting up a service to show data from all available GroundThuth 2.0 demo cases.
  • S: Connection between Landsense federation and JRC user system Andreas Matheus (Sven Schade, Christoph Perger)
  • Q: Data quality Joan Masó
    • The SOS client is slowly incorporating data quality tools. No we are working on a query to represent differently observation points that are below a certain quality threshold.
• EGU meeting organization

• What you could do in the next month.
• Next regular telecon will be in February, on Wednesday 13th at 15h PM CET.

Reporting and discussion

• For each of you attending be ready to report on the following questions:
  • What have you done in the last month? (relate that to the working items identifiers).
  • Are you able to provide a demo for today or the telecons to come?
  • What do you need from other participants
  • What you could do in the next month.

Next Action Points

• Frederike will monitor the process to make the URL of the istSOS
• Ingo Simonis wants to know if and which vocabulary we use to characterize the observation variables and how to connect to the naming authority
• Propose nest telco in Australian time.
• Andy asks about the MiraMon map browser code: https://github.com/joanma747/MiraMonMapBrowser/tree/master/src
• What we are going to do in the next EGU meeting?
