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.
