1/2 A new release of the #GloSIS #WebOntology is out: v1.4. The largest set of changes since release v1.0.
This is possibly the last minor release in the GloSIS v1 series, has the ontology reaches the limits of the current paradigm.
GloSIS v2.0 should explore a different vocabulary paradigm and also constitute another important step in clarifying the #Semantics of #Soil properties, procedures and observations.
Very happy to see this published. Over three years of work with Niels Batjes and Luís Calisto towards possibly the most comprehensive #Soil dataset on the planet: the World Soil Information Service (#WoSIS). A major effort combining #SoilScience and #GeoInformatics.
And one step closer to standardised #SoilData.
This morning at the #FOSS4G-Europe I delivered the address on the automated generation of #SensorThingsAPI services from #KnowledgeGraphs compliant to the #SOSA web ontology. Unexpectedly, #SoilData provision with #GloSIS is one of the use cases.
The new #ReST API specifications of the #OGC are transforming #GeoSpatial data provision from a technology-centred into a #Semantics-centered exercise.

Tomorrow I am travelling to Crete to attend the #ESWC2024. Sunday, during the #GeoLD workshop, I will be presenting the #GloSIS web ontology. Also in the #GeoLD I am co-authoring a position paper making the case for a #SemanticWeb standard for #CoordinateSystems.
Last Thursday I had the opportunity to present the #GloSIS web ontology to the popular meet-up of the Wageningen Data Competence Centre (#WDCC). Special thanks to Prof. Anna Fensel for the invitation and the photos.
"I eat #UML for breakfast. Now I eat #OWL for lunch." was perhaps the remark of the evening.
And some promotion of your gateway to the #SemanticWeb with my on-line book: linked-sdi.com
The prototype #SensorThingsAPI implementation for the #WoSIS #KnowledgeGraph with #glrc is slowly taking shape at the #OGC #OSGeo #Apache #CodeSprint in Évora.
The #GloSIS #WebOntology now has a record at the #FAIRSharing.org repository. An additional layer of #Metadata with references to related ontologies, supporting documents and institutions involved.
A new release of the #GloSIS #WebOntology is out. Among other improvements, it makes use of the #DBPedia #Ontology to link physio-chemical properties to international vocabularies: #InChi and #PubChem.
These links expose the level of redundancy still present in #GloSIS, with various chemical compounds referenced multiple times (e.g. three Aluminium properties). Reconciling #Chemistry and #SoilScience remains a major challenge
in #SoilOntology.
1/3 Version 1.2 of the #GloSIS #WebOntology is released. Major improvements to classes and #SOSA instances descriptions. Plus a few important bugs corrected.
The #GloSIS web ontology article submitted to the Semantic Web Journal entered public review this week.

In the next EJP SOIL training you will be able to experiment hands-on with the #GloSIS ontology, extending code-lists to your needs and publishing #SoilData with the #SemanticWeb. The modern path to #INSPIRE compliance.
Registrations are open until the event, but register soon to reserve your place.
