   Many diverse ontologies and increasingly Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and
   other semantic resources have been developed  across the biomedical and
   other domains. Although they are developed and used for specific needs, It
   is possible to align common knowledge and data across many domains at a
   higher level. To avoid repetitive model and represent the common knowledge
   from different groups/organizations, it is desirable to develop some
   consensus on a range of relevant semantic resources. Many types of these
   semantic resources exist along a semantic ladder/ spectrum such as
   structured vocabularies, but also the high levels of domain ontologies to
   support a wide range of use cases. A relevant context for this work
is that Findability,
   Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) principle and the
   Transparency, Responsibility, User Focus, Sustainability (TRUST) principle
   have been established and accepted by the global scientific community for
   digital objects. Can two principles also be applied to ontologies and other
   semantic resources which support ample opportunities for data discovery,
   trust, sharing, reuse and value of various datasets; as well as enabling
   wide access to dataset quality information? To accomplish all these goals
   at the data level, FAIR and TRUSTworthy ontology harmonization is an
   important first step. This workshop aims to look for *examples,
   technologies, and methodologies utilized for developing FAIR ontology and
   harmonization, as well as to discuss how harmonization across the semantic
   spectrum will facilitate data interoperability and the TRUST principle. *We
   aim to involve the community to develop, improve and disseminate best
   practices for harmonizing semantic resources at all levels.
