The aim of the meeting is to bring together several groups who are trying to combat similar problems – how to bring the standards for scientific nomenclature and terminology into the digital age.
There will be representatives from:
PSDI – Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure
CODATA DRUM Task Group – Digital Representation of Units of Measure
IUPAC Green Book – Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry
IUPAC Gold Book – Compendium of Chemical Terminology
The format of the conference will be similar to a workshop. There will be plenary talks covering ideas from the Philosophy of Chemistry, through Metadata, to the use of the Semantic Web in Science. There will be plenty of opportunities for the individual projects to work on their current issues, compare notes with other projects, and see what comment agendas there are.
Attendance by invitation only – if you are interested in this event please email psdi@soton.ac.uk.
