Opening the year with a preview of coming attractions!
1 January 2013: The next data drop on the OMB Sequestration report, to round out the data sets I posted as Fiscal Cliff + OMB or Fool Me Once/Twice and Over The Fiscal Cliff – Blindfolded.
January 2013: In the first half of January I have a proposed TR that I will be posting for discussion purposes. Not a new work item but a draft to discuss whether it should become a new work item.
Provoked in part by the ongoing failure of semantic projects to keep up with “big data.” As you probably suspect, topic maps play a key role in that draft.
January 2013: Expect a clean version of the TMRM, 13250-5 to appear.
February 2013: WG 3 Teleconference – Main points on the agenda will be the proposed TR draft and what projects or PR needs to be done for topic maps. The amount of semantic diversity is growing by leaps and bounds so topic maps are even more relevant today than when the effort first began.
March 2013: Agenda for the June F2F meeting of WG3.
April 2013: As you have seen from some of my posts, I have been suggesting places where topic maps could enhance open source software projects. Conversations will start earlier in the year but I am targeting April of 2013 as the time frame to have good news from one or more projects.
I suspect that may drive conversations in WG3 about specifying more complex merging conditions for topic maps.
May 2013: Topic map videos, along the lines of the MOOCs that have become so popular. Suggestions for topics (sorry) always welcome.
June 2013 WG 3 F2F meeting in Bellevue Washington. Prof. Lee has graciously agreed to chair the WG3 meeting, to discuss meeting together with WG5 (Prof. Lee’s WG). And to continue discussions about other matters relevant to topic maps.
Other goodies will be appearing but want to keep some of them as surprises!
Hope everyone has started a Happy New Year!
I forgot to hit the publish button for the original version of this post last night. I guess I was in a hurry to see the LSU game. 😉
