We are happy to announce that the Body of Knowledge for Earth Observation (EO) and Geographic Information (GI) sector, short EO4GEO BoK, has been successfully published and is now publicly available!

The official BoK version can be viewed in the BoK Visualization and Search tool. The BoK can also be explored in the Living Textbook tool that is used by the BoK editors: EO4GEO BoK working version V4.0 (more information in the first article of this newsletter).

The EO4GEO BoK is a work in progress. A new release is foreseen approximately every three months. Each new version of the EO4GEO BoK is also propagated to all end-user tools which ensures the compatibility of all EO4GEO BoK tools - forming an ecosystem - and allows the comparison of resources created in the tools. EO4GEO tools have been intensively tested by the consortium and associated members. However, you still have time to help us in improving the tools by answering our survey.

The articles in this newsletter provide you with all information about the BoK, how it is built, how it is used in an ecosystem of tools and how you can contribute to its development. Enjoy reading this newsletter and exploring the BoK!

The EO4GEO BoK software platform: towards exploitation of the Body of Knowledge

To unlock the vast knowledge captured in the Body of Knowledge (BoK) in practical (software) applications, the EO4GEO project offers the BoK software platform. It serves as a universal access point for use of the Body of Knowledge and provides online availability of the BoK, a uniform way to refer to and retrieve concepts from the BoK, programmatic access and default BoK-related software components. In doing so, the platform enables a plethora of uses of the BoK, ranging from integration with other BoKs or linked data sources, annotating resources with the BoK, to full-fledged BoK-based software development and application integration.
