SemanticHarmonization

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

The Semantic Harmonization cluster is a spinoff from the Semantic Technologies Committee. While its long term goals are to disseminate best practices for harmonizing semantic resources; its current focus is on bringing the SWEET ontology up-to-date while harmonizing it with other commonly used ontologies such as ENVO and working on a semantic harmonization paper. We have started by tackling ENVO to SWEET harmonization via a series of monthly mini-hackathons focusing for the moment on the cryosphere and the terminology work done under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization's Global Cryosphere Watch program.
