Full Text: Semantic technologies are essential for interoperability and need to be developed, expanded and applied both within and across disciplines. Action 7.1: Programs need to be funded to make semantic interoperability more practical, including the further development of metadata specifications and standards, vocabularies and ontologies, along with appropriate validation infrastructure. Action 7.2: To achieve interoperability between repositories and registries, common protocols should be developed that are independent of the data organisation and structure of various services. Action 7:3: Field-specific approaches to expressing semantic relationships should be more closely aligned with web-scale technologies and standards.
