The Ontologies Community of Practice is led by the Alliance Bioversity International CIAT and is supported by the CGIAR Initiative on Digital Innovation.
Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the CGIAR Data , the Ontologies CoP spans the knowledge domains that are relevant to the Platform with the objective of establishing best practices and guidelines in the selection of reference ontologies. It also focuses on the use and application of semantics for data harmonization at the levels of collection and storage, and for data interoperability and data discovery following the FAIR principles.
