===Current Projects and Collaborations===
 
 
Semantic Projects in which Committee members are involved in can be found in [[Strategic_Vision#Current_Projects|this section]] of the Strategic Vision document.
 
 
Current Collaboration Areas
 
# We are evaluating which ontology portal features (mappings, alignment, visualization, registering, etc.) are of need to the broad Earth science community. As of the ESIP Summer Meeting 2017, a comprehensive [https://esipfed.github.io/stc/UseCases/STCUseCasesAndRequirements.html Ontology Portal Evaluation] has been undertaken to understand what the community needs and what resources are necessary to support those needs.
 
# We are considering how to establish an [[Ontology Repository Evaluation Roadmap]].
 
# We are evaluating what it means to be a "good" ontology and what [[Ontology_Governance|governance]] looks like for community developed and maintained semantic resources (ontologies and taxonomies)
 
# In conjunction with ESIP's [[Products_and_Services| Products and Services]] we are helping to evaluate software readiness levels and software reuse.
 
# We are working with [[Cloud_Computing | ESIP's Cloud Computing Cluster]] to explore efficient and extensible means of hosting ESIP-wide semantic resources

Vision of the Semantic Technologies Committee

  1. Promote research and development of semantic technologies in support of Earth science data discovery, dissemination, and analysis
  2. Collaborate with ESIP members, working groups, clusters, and standing committees on semantic related topics
  3. Foster sharing and reuse of ontologies and controlled vocabularies
  4. To provide a collaborative environment for the development of ontologies and ontology-based standards
  5. To maintain a long-term agenda and roadmap for evaluation of semantic technologies within ESIP
  6. To collaborate with external agencies, on behalf of ESIP, in regards to semantic technologies
