The document discusses developing an ontology for the domain of solar irradiance forecasting. It begins by outlining challenges such as lack of shared understanding and terminology. It then provides an overview of ontologies, their uses and components. The document proposes an ontology called SF-ONT that maps the key entities and relationships in solar forecasting. It details the development process including reusing existing relevant ontologies, defining classes, properties and examples. Finally, it demonstrates potential uses of the ontology and provides ideas for future expansion and maintenance.

ILOA Galaxy Forum SEA Indonesia -- AbdullahILOAHawaii
The 3rd Regional Galaxy Forum Southeast Asia is taking place at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) branch office in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. In addition to ILOA, the event is co-organized by the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB). Faculty of the Department of Astronomy at ITB have been a key factor in the development of the regional SEA Galaxy Forum program.
Indonesia, the world’s 4th most populous country, is building 21st Century capabilities and investing in the future of Astronomy and Astronautics to the immediate benefit of students in every class across the archipelago. Scientists at the Bosscha Observatory, ITB and others, continue with plans to construct a 2.5-m class telescope and a 1-m radio telescope at Mount Timau or Mount Rinjani.
LAPAN is planning to complete work on a Space Port and Launch Center at Morotai Island by 2025. This complex is to act as the test site and future operational base of the LAPAN experimental satellite launcher. Last year the Rocket Technology Center conducted a successful static test of the RX 320 booster generating thrust of up to 4.9 tons. This is one of two rockets that will form the building blocks of the 4 stage orbital satellite rocket Roket Pengorbit Satelit (RPS) that is currently in development.

Volcanic eruptions are among the most spectacular and dangerous phenomena on Earth, capable of generating disasters at various scales. The Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratories initiatives (GSNL) today is a network of 11 Supersites, including volcanoes and seismic areas. Complex algorithms are used to analyse these data and important information on the volcano activity. In addition to computing power and resources, researchers from the geo-gnsl community, as many other data-intensive science communities, are calling for innovative ways to manage their data, methods and other resources, which can enhance the visibility of scientific breakthroughs, encourage reuse, and foster a broader research accessibility. In this contribution we present the results of EVER-EST project (H2020-EINFRA-2015-1), in which we created in collaboration with different partners a virtual research environment (VRE) for Earth Science (https://vre.ever-est.eu/), embracing the research object concept and technologies at its core.

2) Provide clear guidance, bandwidth, resources and peer support channels to transform local governments into powerful and collaborative thought leaders on prudent and responsible market transformation.
Climate Innovation Opportunity: Investing in Local Governments to Accelerate ...CUSP | Univ of Guelph
This report from Social Capital Strategies and CUSP examines the current capacity challenges of leading Canadian cities in addressing climate change at scale. The report sheds light on some of the ‘work hacks’ leading cities and their partners are using to deliver successful outcomes and impact, and also where more is needed to fill resource gaps.
This whitepaper is intended to share insights with provincial and federal governments, utilities, community foundations and private philanthropy around the challenges and successes local governments are experiencing in scaling up action in the large and leading cities.
Cities work on the frontline and are critical and capable partners locally and nationally, but the climate challenge is great and the level of change required transformational. This report identifies five elements of success that allow sustainability teams in local governments to generate innovative policy and market transformations on scale with what is needed to address the climate emergency. The findings in this report were generated through interviews with leading climate and sustainability practitioners in local government and NGOs supporting successful municipal climate networks

Recommendations from Canada Urban Sustainability Practitioners Network to enhance Canada's climate ambition and send clear signals to accelerate collective vision.
Our Energy Guelph (OEG) is a community-led group established by the Guelph City Council to determine stakeholder priorities, establish metrics for progress, & update Guelph's Community Energy Initiative.
During the spring and summer of 2017, OEG engaged with community members, seeking input into Guelph’s community energy plan. Community engagement represents one of three primary inputs and activities that will come together to inform Guelph's community energy plan.
The community engagement process is of course very messy with myriad other factors that cannot be fully accounted. Community engagement for CEP is, in other words, predominantly art and intuition and very little science and analysis. How can we make sense of it all?
Just Transformations: Barriers to Energy Upgrades in Social HousingCUSP | Univ of Guelph
Presentation at Just Transformations: The Next 150 symposium. The Social Housing sector provides support and services to among the most vulnerable Ontarians. Consequentially, the sector emerges as a key stakeholder in the planning-to-implementation of just energy transformations. For community energy planners, understanding the barriers social housing practitioners face is key to engaging the sector.
This presentation reviews common barriers, and provides recommendations for building long-term capacity for innovation in the sector.
Energy efficiency is often regarded as the fastest and most
accessible means to achieve sustainability and reduce energy
costs. Using a framework developed from semi-structured
interviews of business owners, staff and personnel, this
presentation will analyze the relevance of various barriers to
energy efficiency experienced by commercial and small
industrial businesses across 7 industrial parks in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.
Preliminary analysis indicates that high energy costs in the
region pose a significant barrier to business expansion and
workforce development. To address this, the presentation will
also make specific technical and policy recommendations for
regional planners, showing how advancing energy efficiency
helps support local economic development and business
retention.
Inspired by report from Advanced Energy Economy, learn the basics of 52 different and advanced energy technologies in use today that are changing how we produce, transmit, consume, and conserve energy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

terminologies used in solar forecasting models. End users like energy market bidders and load serving utilities may have their own approach to structuring and organizing
information and data that might not be congruent with the input requirements of
solar forecasting models. Project developers may have goals, needs and expectations
from solar forecasts that existing forecast models may not be able to meet
common understanding of structure of information between communities of interest. Statistician can build an expert ARIMA mode, does not have to know the economic modeling of energy markets.

Inverser – Abhi student of Laura,
Transitive, a isRelatedto b, b to c, therefore a to c
Symmetric – a isRelatedTo b, then b isRelatedTo a
Reflexive – a knows a
