-The preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement will standardly
-involve communication between archeologists, biologists, geologists, GIS
-technicians, and atmospheric scientists. Information integration across
-these disciplines will succeed only if there are common frameworks for
-representing the types of entities in shared domains and common
-mechanisms for identifying and reasoning about specific instances of
-these types and the relations between them.
-We propose an IGERT to train a future generation of integrative
-scientists in the development and use of theories and tools capable of
-addressing the problems of cross-disciplinary communication in all
-biospatial domains. These include the theories of ontology ? creating and
-disseminating common controlled vocabularies ? and the tools, including
-GIS tools, of instance-level reasoning. We will foster projects to apply
-and extend these tools to address new challenges of cross-disciplinary
-communication in a variety of biospatial domains at a variety of scales,
-environmental hazards, intelligence analysis, biodefense, epidemiology
-and public health.
