Ontologies Community of Practice Meeting

Feedback form is now closed.

The Community of Practice (CoP) on Ontology will span the knowledge domains that are relevant to the Platform with the objective of establishing best practices, guidelines in the selection, use and application of semantics for data harmonization at the levels of collection and storage, for data interoperability and data discovery following the FAIR principles.

The CoP will contribute to making the best practices and recommended ontologies a long-term reference resource for the collaborators of the CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture.
