<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear colleagues,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I'm now at the JpGU conference in Tokyo, where I co-chair a session on "Open Access Data and Interoperability" with Japanese colleagues. I met here a German colleague (Bernd Ritschel) working on ontologies and vocabularies, who is also a member of RDA. He was a member of the ESPAS EU project, in which a Solar-Terrestrial Interaction ontology was developed: </div><div class=""><a href="http://www.espas-fp7.eu" class="">http://www.espas-fp7.eu</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.espas-fp7.eu/portal/" class="">https://www.espas-fp7.eu/portal/</a> </div><div class=""><a href="http://espas.spaceweatherservices.com" class="">http://espas.spaceweatherservices.com</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">He build a demonstrator tool to automatically map vocabularies, as part of his RDA activities. The tool is here:</div><div class=""><a href="http://130.54.58.244" class="">http://130.54.58.244</a></div><div class="">If you have questions, I can ask he for the presentation he gave in my session, so we can have more details on the scope and technology he used. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">He is interested to ingest the Astronomy thesaurus and other vocabularies we have at IVOA (e.g., UCD) with his tool. I think that' worth trying, so I sent him the link to the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus page and that of the RDF Vocabularies in <a href="http://ivoa.net" class="">ivoa.net</a>. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers</div><div class="">Baptiste</div></body></html>
