Semantic Web Related Research Needs • Better capturing the vocabularies and the linkages • Domain/community specific • Weights assignments • Dynamic • Better tools for • Knowledge capturing • Knowledge reasoning • Interactive GUI • More study in social sciences is urgently needed to enable efficient collaboration among team members, communities, and domains • Thinking and computing in a spatiotemporal fashion will provide an enabling capability for the new geoscience frontier by contributing essential computing architectures, algorithms, and methodologies
