<p>Welcome Erik,</p>
<p>Thanks for your introduction. It is great to hear of your
interest to bring your CaLAThe and related experience to this
community. Also aligning these communities with OSGeo Lexicon
would be excellent. <br>
</p>
<p>Yes, reaching out to the Bartoc editor sounds like a good idea.
Feel free to do so.</p>
<p>For people who have recently joined this email list, and are not
familiar with general OSGeo principles, we tend to work as a
"Do-ocracy". In a volunteer organisation, the person who does the
work, generally gets to decide what gets done and how it is done.
(Of course, it is a good idea to canvas the opinion of the rest of
the community to make use of their experience.)</p>
<p>Likewise if someone suggests an idea, such as Erik has done, I
encourage others to comment and volunteer their opinions. (While I
helped start this community because there was a need and I have
experience starting communities, my experience with Lexicon
management is very limited. I'm really hoping that all the people
subscribed here can bounce ideas off each other on this list
without me.)<br>
</p>
<p>Warm regards,</p>
<p>Cameron<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, Lexicon group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like Codrina I just joined the group, so I
follow her path:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">a. Who you are.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Danish professor emeritus, having lectured
and researched during 1977-2008 on cadastre and land
administration at Aalborg University, Denmark.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Co-author with Dr. Volkan Cagdas, Yildiz
Technical University, Istanbul, of the Cadastre and Land
Administration Thesaurus (CaLAThe), issued 2011 at
<a href="http://www.cadastralvocabulary.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.cadastralvocabulary.org</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Contributed to the OGC® Land and
Infrastructure Conceptual Model Standard (LandInfra), issued
2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">b. Mention your interest is in the OSGeo
Lexicon Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I search for a context where the objectives
behind CaLAThe may become articulated and applied for further
development of CaLAThe. I am curious to learn whether this is
within the intended scope of the Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">c. Possibly mention what you would like to
see developed and how you'd like to help make it happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CaLAThe addresses the terminology of a
multi-disciplinary domain, populated with land surveyors /
engineers, but also with the legal profession, public
administration staff, and economists / valuars. Consequently,
in developing CaLAThe we were concerned to extract terminology
from legal sources (e.g. dualjuridik, ELRA, ..) and from
established thesauri (GEMET thesaurus, AGROVOC thesaurus, and
the STW Thesaurus for Economics) to reflect this
multi-disciplinary pattern.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CaLAThe has found its place among other
thesauri within the BARTOC framework of thesauri, cf.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bartoc-skosmos.unibas.ch/en/">https://bartoc-skosmos.unibas.ch/en/</a>, and I would like to see
a similar integration of the geospatial domain with the
mentioned semantic resources. If the Lexicon Committee
considers this relevant, a possible next step might be that
Volkan and I contact a BARTOC editor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">d. Confirm that you are okay with joining
the Lexicon Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DA">Confirm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
