Tomorrow's CUAHSI Informatics Community Teleconference - Expanding the HIS Technology

Please join us tomorrow, Wednesday May 8 at Noon (ET) for a CUAHSI Informatics Community Teleconference! We will have two presenters discussing projects and activities that are expanding the use of CUAHSI HIS technology and the CUAHSI Water Data Center services...

1. Demo of the Open Hydrospheric Modeling Framework (OHMF), Xu Liang (Pittsburgh) and Yao Liang (IUPUI). From their EarthCube Concept Award Group Page: “OHMF is an open meta-modeling framework, which can integrate data and models easily and incrementally for knowledge discovery and management, for the research and applications communities (initially focused on the hydrosphere). The goal is to enable these communities to freely contribute their individual computation models, to interact with each other, as well as with different data sources.” Yao will be giving a demo of the system, which now include “agents” to access NASA, USGS and CUAHSI data.

2. Exposing CUAHSI variables as a SKOS service, Alva Couch (CUAHSI WDC). Alva will discuss the Data Center’s plans to:

• Expose variables via SKOS services 
• Embed SKOS links in HIS Central Metadata
• Return SKOS references to HIS Central queries
• Cross-link CUAHSI SKOS other SKOS servers, including GEOSS GEMET and CUNY EDSC
