Hi Nicholas,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for the interest in the Lexicon Committee, and I would strongly support your nomination to join. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It is interesting to learn of your work with ISO 19160 especially since we currently lead ISO 19160-6 at ISO/TC 211. The OSGeo Geolexica site, which is in development (<a href="https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/" class="">https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/</a>)
intends to support the Content Negotiation by profile standard as well as providing SKOS in JSON-LD form.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Kind regards,</div>
<div class="">Ron</div>

<span class="">Some of you will be familiar with my previous geo- standards work at organisations such as Geoscience Australia and now the Geological Survey of Queensland. I’ve also worked on Semantic Web, vocabulary and spatial services and standards for about
a decade at CSIRO, Australia’s federal government research agency.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<span class="">Currently I’m working on spatial Semantic Web projects such as the Location Index [1], a better Semantic Web version of ISO19160, the ISO addressing standard [2], and spatial/geo vocabulary publication regimes, such as the Place Names Gazetteer
of Australia. These all involve many vocabularies and terms. Part of my current project’s work is to extend two spatial cataloguing tools you surely all know well, GeoNetwork & CKAN, to enable them to better utilise formal vocabularies and also to increase
their ability to play by Semantic Web protocols, such as the new Content Negotiation by profile [3]. I’ve also built both ontology and vocabulary publication and management tools, e.g. VocPrez [4] and published 50+ formal vocabularies for various government
agencies and companies. E.g. the G-NAF codes [5]. I also currently co-chair, and am the main publication facilitator of, the Australian Government Linked Data Working Group [6] that maintains persistent identifiers and publishes Semantic Web datasets, ontologies
and vocabularies.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<p class="">Thanks for the research Helena,<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">It sounds like an OSGeo Special Interest Group will address our Lexicon Committee requirements. Unless there are any objections, I propose to push forward with our agenda of setting up an email list, building a committee, selecting a chair, and
getting some work done.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">If you have any objections, please respond ASAP, ideally within the next 48 hours.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">--<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">Further to Helena's research:<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">* Yes, I'd suggest special interest groups should be listed on the website.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="">* I found this page:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Interest_Groups" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Interest_Groups</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>which
I'd suggest should be made official by the board. It currently states: "This page documents the current dicsussion and has not yet been approved as official OSGeo policy!"<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="">* The OSGeo Standards Committee should get a page somewhere. I'm pretty sure it had one before, but I can't find it now.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>

Hi Cameron,<br class="">
<br class="">
The formation of the lexicon committee was discussed during the board<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
meeting yesterday.<br class="">
One question that came up is: what is the reason this work cannot be<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
done under the standards committee, since this involves members from<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
OSGeo, OGC and ISO?<br class="">
<br class="">
Regards,<br class="">
Angelos<br class="">
