== Charter of the Semantic Web Applied Ontology SIG ==

The Semantic Web Applied Ontology SIG aims to bridge the gap between the
Semantic Web and the IAOA communities. This SIG's goals are to actively support
communication and collaboration and to promote the use of applied ontology,
with our colleagues in the Semantic Web (including Linked Data) community. In
addition, we want to better understand how the Semantic Web community’s problem
spaces impact applied ontology. And conversely, how applied ontology can
enhance the efforts of these communities and others. (We view applied ontology
as using ontological analysis methods and reasoning to address real-world
problems.)

Often the two communities perceive that they have little in common, whereas
potentially there is much in common - including goals, techniques,
technologies, and interest in well-engineered ontologies and their uses. Many
of us in IAOA promote and use Semantic Web technologies. Similarly, many in the
Semantic Web community advocate more rigorous and principled ontologies (based
on ontological analysis), and use semantic technologies and reasoning to
address many issues such as dealing with vast amounts of heterogeneous data on
the Web. Our goal is to assist each side in bringing their perspectives to the
table, and thus facilitate two-way collaboration and technology integration.

In order to promote communication, this SIG is event-focused. We are
concentrating on bringing together the individuals, techniques and technologies
of both communities for mutually beneficial interchanges. Our activities focus
on organizing and supporting joint workshops, collaborative authoring of
journal articles across the communities, and hosting related activities such as
participation in summer schools in both communities, and joint tutorials which
would help build bridges.
