Hi Folks,
I would like to suggest that if folks are seriously interested in pursuing the 
notion of moving CF Ontologies forward, then they register the idea with the 
ongoing Google Summer of Code efforts taking place at ESIP [0].
We already have issues registered for SWEET Ontology Alignments and 
improvements to the ESIP Community Ontology Repository. I see no reason we 
couldn't work as a community on advancing this at Google's expense for the 
benefit of ESIP and the CF community. 
If you are interested, either let me know here, personally or simply log the 
issue and describe what you think such an effort would look like.
As I mentioned previously, there is already tooling available for generating 
RDF representations of the CF standard names [2]. I would see this as the first 
step in building richer semantics around existing CF resources.

    Dear Chris
    
    The web page to which I gave a link writes down the rules for constructing 
the
    standard names (of some years ago, but presumably it could be updated). This
    would help with some new standard name proposals, which use existing 
patterns
    and vocabulary, or existing patterns with new vocabulary that obviously 
fits.
    The more difficult proposals, which involve most thinking, involve new 
concepts
    and patterns.
    
    Best wishes
    
    Jonathan
