  <description><![CDATA[A fundamental aspect of all science is reproducibility.  In the past
few decades, Earth Science has been increasingly based on remote
sensing (aircraft, satellites, ocean buoy sensors, etc.) that have
produced tremendous volumes of data.  There is often a long chain of
complex processing steps that ultimately lead to published science.
Understanding the processing chain, and maintaining scientific
reproducibility of results is a major challenge.

Social Media is changing the way we find information, share knowledge and

of these technologies is the ability to easily produce "user-generated

It is also, in part, a re-branding of the semantic web itself, with less emphasis on semantics, and more on RDF linkages amongst data sources. Also heavily emphasized is the proper role of web architecture (http requests and responses; 303 redirects; etc.), and the distinction between information resources (those that physically reside on the web), and non-information resources (those that exist in t...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Presentation at the Ecological Society of America annual meeting in Memphis, TN  August 8, 2006. Part of a symposium organized by Tim Keitt and Bill Fagan: Structure and Dynamics of Ecological Networks.

We parameterize a model for predicting trophic links using previously published interaction networks and phylogenetic/taxonomic trees. Interactors in given food webs are identified where possible to scientific name at the most appropriate taxonomic level so that a tree can used to search fo...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[There is a long history of using structured knowledge of one kind or another to support AI tasks, especially ones involving natural language understanding. Over the years, the names and details have changed, from semantic networks to frames to logic programs to databases to expert systems to knowledge bases to the semantic web and currently to knowledge graphs. However, a common thread is that an organized representation of knowledge that can be queried and evolved is a core component of many...]]></description>
