Journal of Earth Science Informatics Call for
papers March 15, 2007

• This international, English-language journal
  publishes original, interdisciplinary articles in
  all aspects of informatics dealing with the Earth
  system. Informatics is the science that deals
  with the application of formal and computational
  methods to the systematic analysis, management,
  interchange, and representation of information
  and knowledge. It includes geoinformatics,
  ecoinformatics, and hydroinformatics as
  sub-disciplines. Earth Science Informatics, as a
  scientific discipline, focuses on two major
  aspects (I) the formal representation of the
  spatial and temporal hierarchical structure of,
  and relationship between, entities in the Earth
  system and (II) the design, development, and
  application of computational tools to acquire,
  store, analyze, visualize, manage, represent,
  utilize and communicate information about
  spatio-temporal dynamics of the Earth system to
  an interdisciplinary audience.

• Geoscience Knowledge Representation for
  Cyberinfrastructure
• Guest Editors
• Boyan Brodaric, Geological Survey of Canada,
  brodaric_at_nrcan.gc.ca
• Peter Fox, National Center for Atmospheric
  Research , pfox_at_ucar.edu
• Deborah L. McGuinness, McGuinness Associates and
  Stanford University , dlm_at_cs.stanford.edu
• This special issue invites new original research
  papers that demonstrate how representations of
  Earth and Space Science knowledge are currently
  meeting scientific or engineering goals in
  cyberinfrastructure. Papers should highlight the
  novel content, structure, methods or uses
  associated with the knowledge representation.
  Papers should also emphasize the value added by
  the representation through description of a
  working example, the intended function of a
  system being built, or the practical benefits of
  an advance in theory.
