Semantic Technologies Committee Business and Planning Meeting

Semantic Technologies are taking a prominent role in the geosciences. As these technologies, methods, and models become more prevalent, questions arise and a strategic roadmap needs to be implemented. This session aims to foster the discussion associated with Semantic Technologies within ESIP. We will review current progress and work towards a short-term vision leading up to the Winter 2017 ESIP meeting. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, ontology portal usage, governance of ontologies and semantic software, software readiness, best practices, and lessons learned.
