[[SOCoP]] will increase the understanding, development, and use of spatial ontology and semantic tools and capabilities. <br /> <br /> [[SOCoP]] is a &quot;Networked&quot; community and is positioned as a community effort for spatial ontology and semantic initiatives. It also has leadership to bring together others in the larger geospatial, IT, and scientific communities. <br /> <br /> One goal of [[SOCoP]] is to reach out to these communities to broaden the Network and expand the sphere of influence.</div>
