Description

In this letter, we introduce The Polar Vocabularies and Semantics Working Group, originally established as a joint effort between the joint SAON/IASC Arctic Data Committee and the Data Management Collaboration Team of the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee. We Invite, communities of practice to actively engage with us in our activities (described below), to advance the state of semantics-based applications in polar activities (and to increase interoperability between stakeholders and rights holders within existing and emerging digital ecosystems).
