Lexicon Committee

Wiki-Brandonnodnarb: /* Committee members */

The Lexicon committee is an [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Interest_Groups OSGeo Special Interest Group], responsible for coordinating official definitions for terminology used within the Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) context. The committee is drawn from the OSGeo, OGC and ISO communities and is based on merit and interest.

= Purpose =

The Lexicon committee plays the following roles:

# Act as the gatekeeper of terms to ensure quality checks of contributions.
# Provide a central terminology knowledge for alignment of terms and concepts.
# Facilitate the flow of terminology knowledge to terminology authors and users.
# Support the use of best practices in writing terms.
# Facilitate developing consistent terminology between OSGeo projects.
# Act as a conduit of terms between OSGeo projects, OSGeo, OGC and ISO.

The committee involves individual representation from external groups including ISO/TC 211 and OGC in order to leverage their experience in terminology, which is useful in situations such as alerting on cross-organization alignment of concepts or term duplication.

= Online presence =

Terminology isn’t useful until people use them, which means people need to first know they exist and what they mean. The Geolexica initiative has setup https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/ to serve OSGeo in managing the lexicon database.

Geolexica serves human-readable concepts and terms, as well as machine-readable JSON, allowing APIs to directly consume the content. It currently serves ISO/TC 211’s terminology management group in making its multi-lingual geographic information terminology available on the internet (https://www.geolexica.org).

To minimize friction in the feedback process, for every term offered in the OSGeo terminology pages it provides a “propose new term” and “propose changes to this term" buttons. This allows users to directly go to the issue platform (e.g. GitHub) to make the suggested changes.

The structure of Geolexica is designed for efficiency with streamlined management and operations. Terms are stored in structured data (YAML) files, and are directly deployable to the website. The website operates according to best practices, and is served as a static website with dynamic search functionality. Security and performance have always been key considerations.

TBD: We should mention that the Geolexia management software is based on [Open Source https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org] (which mitigates project risk).

OSGeo terms will additionally be published at:
* OSGeoLive
* TBD OSGeo Journal?

= Coordination =

== Initial load and data cleanup ==

The initial load of the terms will involve a bulk load from cleaned terms and definitions sourced from prior OSGeo glossaries. Geolexica could easily handle the initial conversion from table format into the desired structured data format.

As of 2019-10, the cleanup process has already [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19tulyAEDN5Q5n-u_jlmXIKQjPI2Lwv6fh5Orad1mz1I/edit#gid=0 started].

[[Category: OSGeo Member]]
I'm fairly new to OSGeo. I'm currently a Ph.D. student in the [http://www.geog.auckland.ac.nz/ School of Geography, Geology and Environmental Science] at the [http://www.auckland.ac.nz/ University of Auckland]. My interests here are in the intersection of cyber-technology as it applies to knowledge discovery, scientific methodology, and data representation in the geosciences.

In a previous life, I worked for the [http://www.esri.com devil] :-)~ It was actually while working there I was first introduced to OSGeo, the [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ Open Geospatial Consortium], and the idea (ideals) behind Free and Open Source Software.

I'm trying to figure out where I can fit in, and how I can best contribute.

I also have a profile on [http://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonwhitehead LinkedIn] if that suits you.
