From enhancing search functionality to encoding domain models and theories, semantic technologies are everywhere. As the technologies, methods, and models become more prevalent, questions arise. This session aims to foster the discussions associated with semantic models (i.e. ontologies), and related technologies, pertaining to governance, efficacy, best practices, lessons learned, etc., under the aegis of the Semantic Web Cluster and wider ESIP community. The overarching goal of this session is to share disparate perspectives and outline areas of need from immediate to long-term, as we work towards a short-term and long-term plan for the community.
