Ecoterm Meeting

It was great experience in Ecoterm workshop on 5th and 6th of october, at Fao, Rome. I got a chance to represent AIMS registry and Mapping projects. Beside this, I talked with several wornderful person. Gail was wonderful lady with vast knowledge. From the workshop, I came to learn that we should take initiatives now for building enviroment terminology for future. It is a big issue of climate change in the earth. We need universal theasurus for earth science ,geo science. I know it is difficult to build or difficult to maintains. We can keep our finger cross.

I did not satisfy about any mapping project. Nobody explained me clearly about their thoughts. Isaac asked me about prefLabel from SKOS. I have not found any ontology matching tool using SKOS files. In our case , we can use it by parsing skos file.


My idea was concept faced based matching, I was not so smart to explain it. But I feel that we can use it for matching purpose. Facet is a distinct feature of concept that contains hidden knowledge of a Concept. I am writing a paper on it now. Hoping that it will be published and people will get know about more thoughts of mine.
