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>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
<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>

<span class="">Due to these experiences and current work, I think I could make useful contributions to this committee as you seek to “develop consistent terminology between OSGeo projects”.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
