Inspire Conference 2020 also went virtual – in a face to face usual conference, we might have no chance to attend because conflicting schedules – and we happily contribute to it!!

The session about EO4GEO/ELISE Vocabularies Workshop: Vocabularies for describing and enhancing GI/EO Knowledge and Skills for INSPIRE and Copernicus, organised by ADL- KU Leuven, brought together a well-known bunch of people from EO4GEO project and good friends from ELISE action: Enabling Digital Government through Geospatial and Location Intelligence .

The (quite packed) session followed a logical structure of presentations:

16:00-16:05 – Introduction to the workshop (Glenn Vancauwenberghe, KU Leuven)
16:05-16:15 – EO4GEO – The Space/Geospatial Sector Skills Alliance (Milva Carbonaro, GISIG)
16:15-16:25 – ELISE – Enabling Digital Government through Geospatial and Location Intelligence
(Francesco Pignatelli and Lorena Hernandez, EC JRC)
16:25-16:40 – Vocabularies for INSPIRE implementation and use: linking tasks with skills (Danny Vandenbroucke, KU Leuven)
16:40-16:45 – An ontology-based Body of Knowledge for GI & EO (Marc Olijslagers, KU Leuven)
16:45-17:00 – Demonstration of the Living Text Book to define concepts, skills and more (Rob Lemmens, University of Twente)
17:00-17:15 – Defining a Job Offer for a company or public agency using the BoK (Sven Casteleyn and, UJI, Castellón)

EO4GEO project is increasingly reaching a couple of fundamental milestones that we want to share with the wide EO*GI community in Europe and beyond: the deployment of the ecosystem of tools created in the context of the project and the First release of the Body of Knowledge for the Geographic Information and Earth Observation.
