4. Objectives of the Project l Task 1: Design and prototype a geospatial semantic web l Task 2: Tools for Geospatial Data Mining l Both tasks are scoped within the allocated funding (50K for 6 months and 15K supplemental funding from UTD) l We have obtained additional funding from UTD to carry our activities to support and enhance the Project with Raytheon

5. Accomplishments Development of Geospatial Ontology – GRDF Use-case scenario of GRDF Single Interface Integration framework using Semantic Web services (DAGIS) Algorithm for Dynamic Web services Composition Implementation of Geospatial Operators (e.g., Between) Subtask 1.1 and 1.2 – Progress Report Task 1: Accomplishments

6. Immediate Goals (Phase 1 : Oct 30 th ) GRDF-based Semantic Dataset Development with NCTCOG datasets and E-Plan SPARQL (Semantic Query Language) execution interface over the datasets Future Goals (Phase 2 : January 1 ’07 – June 30 ‘07) Advanced QoS parameters for DAGIS Semantics-aware Access Control Task 1: Plans

7. Accomplishments: August 15-September 15 Ontology based data mining using SVM techniques SPARQL (Semantic Query Language) execution interface over the datasets Plans: Immediate: Until December 31, 2006 Enhance algorithms, prototype Future (Phase 2 : January 1 ’07 – June 30 ‘07) Data Mining toolkit Task 2: Accomplishments and Plans

8. Geospatial Data Integration: UTD Funding l On-site chemical spill management teams face a number of challenges - Multiple sources of data at a variety of security levels - Overlapping areas of authority - Time-critical objectives l We have recently completed a project to integrate UTD’s E-Plan system with CH2M Hill’s iCIT solution - Knowledge aggregator that connects E-Plan’s secure chemical reference web interface with iCIT’s collaboration environment - Information is only made available to authorized individuals

9. Framework for Geospatial Data Security

10. Some Related Activities in Geospatial Data l UTD Joined OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) – will be a panelist for OGC’s Interoperability Day at the next meeting, October 4, 2006 l Joined USGIF (GEOINT) and will be a member of their academic curriculum and K-12 l Participating in UTD’s program in GIS l Reading GEOINT research report by NGA to determine how we can structure our research program l Incorporate Geospatial data management units into our courses for AFCEA
