EO4GEO: an evolving Body of Knowledge for the EO*GI domain and how it could link to other vocabularies and BoK’s
Danny Vandenbroucke
KU Leuven, SADL
The presentation will introduce the EO4GEO Sector Skills Alliance set-up, its activities and strategy for the next 10 years. One of the cornerstones of EO4GEO is the ontology-based Body of Knowledge (BoK) for the Earth Observation and Geographic Information Science & Technology domain (EO*GI S&T). The presentation will provide an overview of how the current work is built on previous efforts in the US and Europe. The ongoing work in building the BoK and its current status will be explained and illustrated. Finally, the current ideas and steps already taken to set-up similar BoK’s in related and other domains (e.g. Defense, Automotive, ICA, e-Government) will be presented as well. The ambition is to create an ecosystem of multiple and interconnected vocabularies and BoK’s that can ‘talk’ to each other.

Rob Lemmens
University of Twente, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC)
This presentation presents an overview of the various BoK tools developed or adopted within the EO4GEO project. These include tools to edit, maintain and serve the BoK, as well as end user tools which exploit the knowledge contained in the BoK.

An interoperable framework for training development – the example of the EO4GEO summer school
Barbara Hofer, Stefan Lang
University of Salzburg, Department of Geoinformatics - Z_GIS
Preparation of a training usually involves putting together an introduction on concepts on a specified topic. What would you think of having a collection of building blocks for such introductions in the EO*GI domain available that you can compose as needed? EO4GEO pursued and tested an approach of an interoperable training framework. This framework is presented in this talk by means of the example of a summer school on ‘intelligent Earth observation’.

Learning from our Students via Learning Analytics
Ellen-Wien Augustijn
University of Twente, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC)
This presentation will discuss learning analytics results from an MSc level “Introduction to GIS" course and show how these results can improve our education.
Presentation 5
Teaching with the Living Textbook (Student portfolio)
Rob Lemmens
University of Twente, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC)
In one of the courses at ITC, students are graduallly building up a fortfolio of all the topics, based on concepts in the Living Textbook. This presentation will show you how this is done.
