As the adoption of the FAIR principles accelerates, the use of semantic resources by research and operational communities worldwide is intensifying. There is thus a pressing need to coordinate our semantic development efforts in the Earth science community such that we can maintain diversity, reduce duplication of effort, and present a more unified and demonstrably interoperable interface to external stakeholders.
We will use this session to address the need above, and develop a plan to link our activities to emerging semantic frameworks in Earth observation, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Essential Variables for Climate, Oceans, Biodiversity, and Geodiversity.
This plan will feed-forward into the planning of the 4th Geosemantics Symposium.
