    Hi all,
    December is approaching, and it seems to me that Agrisemantics must have something in this special issue.
    Any motivation to publish the Recommendations of the group (the 39 hints …)
    Something else?
    Any thoughts?

    Dear Yann, all,
    I hope the FAIRsFAIR pre-meeting was productive.
    Indeed FAIR semantics certainly goes beyond just describing semantic resources with right metadata. As I mentioned, as ontology repository provider, we do ask ourselves all the questions. Because we are building « data repositories » as others… our data are just ontologies.
    We are totally open to collaborate on this and willing to participate if there will be action/meeting etc.
    If a WG (as RDA defines it with recommandations, timing, deliverables, etc.) is proposed, then we will of course join and participate and then certainly merge our TG (as VSSIG defines it without the requirement of a WG) with it.
    But if you’re talking about another TG, then I don’t think it’s necessary to have two and we can discuss rebrand the « ontology metadata » TG to something larger to match « FAIR semantics ».
    Biswanath will give a short report Friday. And we can discuss more then.
    Bye
    Clement
    PS: very good to know for your assignment at CINES on EOSC-Pillar. Let’s meet again in Montpellier then… will continue off list !

    Dear Yann, all,
    I am very pleased to see this session at RDA P14. As you know we are precisely investigating the issue of FAIR semantics in the Ontology Metadata task group since VSSIG rebranding in 2017.
    I have presented about this at RDA P11 IGAD’s premeeting, along with Barbara’s during RDA P11 VSSIG section.
    https://www.slideshare.net/jonquet/fair-data-requires-fair-ontologies-ho
    Our three main results (with B. Dutta, CC) were:
    MOD1.2, a vocabulary for ontology metadata description: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/lirmm-01605783
    A case study and implementation on the AgroPortal ontology repository: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13740-018-0091-5
    A survey and its analysis about ontology metadata: https://zenodo.org/record/3484530#.XaQ1v5MzbUI
    Biswanath and I are still regularly interacting on MOD1.4
    https://github.com/sifrproject/MOD-Ontology (sse branch) and we are trying to find some support to move to MOD2.0 that will be based on new DCAT.
    Yann, it would be great to see your initiative on FAIR semantics joining us in this effort of making semantic resources (of course we are not interested only in ontologies) more FAIR. I am eager to see what you have in mind and to move forward on this subject. I understood FAIRsFAIR has a task on this and is willing to help, perfect!
    Unfortunately, I will not be in P14 nor Biswanath or Anne. And even worst, at the same time I will be participating to the Agrisemantics session which is at the same time. So I cannot give another presentation about our work and results.
    Maybe Biswanath can?
    Happy to discuss this further. Please keep us in the loop.
    It would be too bad to restart from scratch another branch or task group on the topic of FAIR semantics in VSSIG. Plus, we (the ontology/vocabulary repository providers: BioPortal, OLS, AgroPortal, etc.) offer definitively the perfect environments to make FAIR semantics a reality 😉
    Bye

    Dear Richard,
    All
    Will not get into the SKOS or OWL debate. Depending on what you want to model, SKOS is a good starter than ultimately you might need to pass to OWL for more expressivity.

    Could you tell us more about :
    > but experiment names, fields and plots are not represented by any controlled vocabularly.
    >
    Can you list exactly the terms/concepts that you will be interested in modeling? Is the specificity of these experiments the fact that they are long-term only ?
    Because, I have the feeling you can certainly attach this to other existing vocabularies out there…
    You might consider using the AgroPortal Recommender which could help identify what are the ontologies that have good coverage over a certain list of terms.
    In case you decide to create your own new URIs (because you really have to say something specific about them), we can help you map your new vocabulary to existing ones in AgroPortal (we have someone now in the team, Elcio, who recently joined us to support users into this process). And of course, host it in AgroPortal.
    Will be in Berlin too, to discuss.

    that channel to engage, and consolidate the group purpose discussions (which
    may be diverging).

    Dear Biswanath,
    thanks for your clarification. Indeed I separated the two set of
    vocabularies in my examples (ontology metadata vocabularies, such as VOAF,
    and dataset metadata vocabularies).
    I think also there could be some terminological issue as the word
    “vocabulary” is very ambiguous, and it’s very nasty as the word “vocabulary”
    tends to be a term with precise meanings, just that they are different
    depending on the community of reference 🙂 so that for logicians the word
    vocabulary is reserved to ontologies (in general, a vocabulary is expected
    to provide symbols predicating over domain objects), while in some others –
    e.g. librarians – it could be perfect for thesauri (e.g. in the thesaurus
    Agrovoc the “voc” stands for vocabulary) as they use thesauri to index
    documents. Funnily enough, the same ambiguity or dependency on perspective
    would apply to data (e.g. a thesaurus is data represented through the SKOS
    ontology…vocabulary).
    But we can put aside for a while these terminological issues, and move to
    ground examples that somehow should allow us to lay down our classification
    markers. Putting things together, I see two counterexamples to your
    observations about VoID&co:
    1. In VOAF (definitely an ontology metadata vocabulary, as the V stands
    for Vocabulary, in the “ontology” sense of the word, widely adopted in the
    SW community), an ontology is a subclass of void:Dataset
    (http://lov.okfn.org/vocommons/voaf/v2.3/#Vocabulary), exactly because void
    can be applied to datasets in general, including ontologies. Thus void is
    interesting enough for ontologies (you can see that its descriptors and
    statistical info are indeed relevant for any set of triples published on the
    web, whatever their nature, and thus including ontologies).
    2. If I properly resolved your “e.g.-attachment”, you just mentioned
    Agrovoc as avocabulary opposed to data cataloguing, and thus out of those
    metadata vocabularies I listed in the “dataset in general” list. I think
    however that this filehttp://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/void.ttl (a VoID/LIME
    description of Agrovoc, which is linked through the void:inDataset property
    attached to each Agrovoc entity, see:http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_12332
    for an example) seems to depict quite a lot of interesting stuff about it.
    So, sorry, hope mine was not an annoying set of observations. I’m just
    humbly trying to set my compass.
    Kind Regards,
    Armando
    P.S: good, it seems we will meet in MTSR in a month and a half 😉

    Dear Armando,
    Thank you for raising this question. I see your point that the
    tasks should have been detailed possibly with some existing examples/
    standards, if any.
    Coming to the examples like void, dcat that you mentioned, IMO, are more
    relevant to the data cataloguing than the Vocabulary/ Ontology (e.g.
    Agrovoc) descriptions. The more relevent metadata standard for Ontology /
    Vocabulary description is OMV (Ontology Metadata Vocabulary), and very
    recently MOD (Metadata for Ontology Description and publication).
    In this task our objective (Clement may add more points) is to improve/
    extend these existing works (OMV, MOD), and build something that community
    would use incorporating the other relevant existing standards. We have a
    paper accepted in MTSR 2017 where we have detailed the issues, our
    objectives and the tasks. We will share this paper within the group shortly.
    With regards,
    Biswanath

    Dear all,
    I was going through the spreadsheet in order to put my interests and a
    question came to my mind.
    I’m sorry I was not in Montreal and thus, having missed the discussion, this
    question might sound very trivial, apologies in case.
    How do these tasks relate with existing standards? My question arises as
    many tasks could be rethought in terms of facilitating the dissemination
    (and the application) of existing standards, or at least contributing
    to/improving/discussing critical parts these standards, more than creating
    new ones (at least, so it seems by reading the description of these tasks).
    Just an example:
    Ontology Metadata Standard: This consists in developing together a new
    ontology metadata standard that can be used to semantically describe
    ontologies/vocabularies/terminologies wherever they are.
    Though the short description should not necessarily include references and
    examples, at the same time its phrasing hardly suggests the reader that
    there is any awareness (I know there is, obviously) nor any will to consider
    the already significant number of existing metadata standards, such as:
    Ontologies
    VOAF: http://lov.okfn.org/vocommons/voaf/
    Datasets in general
    VoID: http://www.w3.org/TR/void/
    LIME:
    http://www.w3.org/2016/05/ontolex/#metadata-lime
    DCAT: https://www.dcat.org/
    The DCAT application profile for data portals (DCAT-AP) and the various
    country-specific application profiles DCAT-AP-xx
    ADMS: http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-adms/
    And also the Ontology Marketplace, strictly connected to the above, is not
    clear on that.
    Is there anywhere a wider perspective on these tasks so that one could get a
    more precise idea about their interest/possibility to contribute?
    Again, sorry in advance if I missed anything that should make this more
    evident to me,
    Thanks!

    Subject: [vocabulary_services] Next steps – formation of task groups
    Dear VSSIG members
    Thanks all for interest in the RDA Vocabulary and Semantic Services Interest
    Group

    [0], and particularly to those who attended therecent f2f meeting in
    Montreal
    Our cunning plan to steal some extra time from the following break
    unfortunately foundered on the compulsory seating arrangements at lunch.
    However, while we did not bottom-out all the actions we had planned for that
    meeting, we did set up a framework for next steps, which we would now like
    to proceed with.
    A shared spreadsheet was made available for members to describe tasks and
    nominate themselves as participants or leaders

    o1yWI7K8/> [2]. Since all VSSIG activities are ‘voluntary’ (i.e. supported
    by our home organizations) we can only realistically proceed on those
    activities where there is enough interest, and where someone has offered to
    lead or coordinate. Five activities currently meet this threshold, each with
    a leader and a new Slack Channel
    [3] as noted:
    1. Strategies for aggregating vocabularies – Yann Le Franc
    -#tg-search-aggregate

    2. Vocabulary API White paper – Arthur Smith -#tg-vocab-api

    3. Ontology metadata standard – Clement Jonquet -#tg-ontology-metadata

    4. Governance: Requesting changes – John Graybeal -#tg-change-requests

    5. Strategies for selecting from vocabularies – John Graybeal
    -#tg-term-selection

    Numbers are still not large for any of these, and there are a couple of
    proposals that do not have a nominated leader. So first we would like to
    encourage anyone who has an interest in any of the tasks to think about
    whether they could participate, and if so add their name to the sheet [2].
    Next we request that the task leads consider how they want to proceed, and
    reach out to the other members of the group to schedule some activities. The
    Slack channels mentioned above have been set up [3], each having initial
    members according to the names on the sheet.
    Please note that anyone who is a member of thevocabulary-services Slack
    workspace
    may join any of the open channels to follow the discussions on any of these
    topics.
    Looking forward to some busy-ness folks!

    Dear All,
    indeed this is an important step that we should overcome.
    I suggested to Ester few weeks ago submitting at http://f1000research.com/. I think the journal has a good audience, remember some RDA Groups already published there furthermore it have channel such as http://f1000research.com/channels/okad or http://f1000research.com/channels/elixir-reports where we could adress the results.
    Best
    Pierre.

    I think this is a very important conclusion to the work that was put in – somebody needs to put their hand up to lead it and make it happen!
    In my opinion it could be really quite a brief paper, and aside from having something tangible to remain in the literature, it will give another opportunity to point researchers towards the guidelines.
    Alex.

    Subject: [rda-wdinterop-wg] Considering submitting WDI results for journal publication ?
    Hi all,
    I take this middle-summer-cool-down opportunity to raise by email a question… about publishing the results of the WDI group.
    It has been discussed a couple of time informally but I don’t know if some did took a decision.
    Should we consider submitting the results of the WDI group for journal publicati on ?
    There have been deliverables, products, and guidelines. RDA is made for making people meet and work, but what stays over time (and are important for evaluation) are journal publications.
    I know a bunch of countries/organizations that will not restraint themselves as we do when considering publishing 😉
    We should not restrict ourselves either.
    Esther, Richard, what do you think?

    July 20th I am back on PDT time.
    I guess the default time zone is CET. Sophie, could you add the 17-18h slot
    (this will be 8am for me) but that’s the only one I can make.
    Others from outside EU ?
    If not… hum it means we need to talk a bit more about our WG worldwide 😉

    Hi all,
    Somehow we should come up with a plan.
    Check out the new Research data repository interoperability WG, they have suggested plan on this web page:
    https://rd-alliance.org/group/research-data-repository-interoperability-
    Should we work on something like that ?
    Plan to meet and kick off the WG (I mean the official months) at RDA P8 ?
    Also, is there a precise positioning to other RDA WG that have been (or need to be )done ?

    Dear Members
    Since its been a while since the last communication here I thought an update is called for.
    I would like to report that:
    1. Caterina Caracciolo and Sophie Aubin have taken over as chairs of the RDA Agrisemantics working group.
    2. Devika Madalli [I] will co-ordinate communication here in this forum
    3. Caterina, Sophie and myself discussed a bit in these days, to short list topics which could be part of the proposal for setting up a RDA working group on Agrisemantics. The tentative topics proposed in the discussion are as follows:
    a. Compare alternative approaches to organizing knowledge structures that exist at present. Output of the working group would be guidelines to suggest pros and cons of the two approach and suggest when one is to be preferred over the other. Including comments of needed infrastructure.
    b. Compare different levels of centralization: gacs vs agroportal. [for example] Output of the working group would be an analysis of pros and cons of popular approaches and suggestions for when to use one over the other. Including comments of needed infrastructure.
    c. Connection of semantic structures and data. Thesauri, ontologies and models. Output of the working group could be a state of art of effort towards semantics for data and if possible recommend or come up with a reference model
    d. Discussion on treatment of units of measurements and their harmonization. Example/continuation of the work done in the Wheat WG?
    e. Concept mapping: automated, assisted, manual approaches. Output of the working group would be an analysis of pros and cons of the three approaches and suggestions for when to use one over the other.
    There is a ‘Open Harvest’ workshop being organized at Chania, Greece on May 18-19. We expect lead experts to be present. hence our thought is present our preliminary ideas to experts at Open Harvest workshop informally [at the break times] to collect more inputs, views and opinions. so I will report more after the Chania workshop
    Meanwhile I encourage you all, members, to comment, contribute to ideas that you think should be part of a proposal to stup RDA working group on Agrisemantics.
    Have a great weekend!
    Caio
    Devika
