# EDAM Geo = geospatial data & interdisciplinary apps

**The following tree is also printed on the poster!**
Grey lines = new concepts
**This is work in progress!** Things will be added and some may change/disappear..

Need coming from the Common Workflow Language + Galaxy communities.
Currently work supported by EOSC Nordic, ELIXIR Norway, ...

Need for geographic information (eg application = epidemiology, public health, biodiversity, ... ) - esp. Dave Clements from Galaxy
in galaxy data lacking coordinates 
CWL need the formats especially 

(Supported the initial ideas: Michael crusoe, bjorn grüning, dave clements, dan blankenburg, Anne Fouilloux, and Niklas Blomberg!)

Main contributors to edam geo = Melissa Black (geographer), Kessy Abarenkov (Tartu, PlutoF), Anne Fouilloux, Olga Silantyeva, Jean Iaquinta (all Oslo), Hamish Struthers (Linköping)

Addition to galaxy of data type. These data type classes in galxy are annotated using edam concepts

Addition in edam of specific format for geographical data (raster/vector)

addition of data (linked with relation "is_format_of" )

hackathon with eosc nordic biodiversity  people: try and annotation tools and object with edam to see what is missing. 

Data:

not much done on operation yet.

not officialy out yet
only in wbeprotege (a bit on github) 

2 main addition : addition of geographical formats + addition of topics for all sorts of interdisciplinary studies (no need for much detail but enough for our users community).
Just a bit done in data, enough to mimic format and have is_format_of relations. 

plnetary healt, epidemiology, subject we are trying to tacking with this
climate modeliing/earth system modeling. they need to model the land cover. archelogy they are not only doing carbon dating, they have dna => need for cross reference, interdiciplinary ontology.
