Meeting objectives
 
The VSSIG is a unique platform for international Semantic Web experts to address key issues in this field and to share tips and tricks as well as ongoing activities. One of the hot discussion topics within the group is about FAIR Semantics—that is, how to make semantic artifacts (ontologies, controlled vocabularies, thesauri, glossaries…) understandable by both humans and machines. Several initiatives were started following the last plenary session. In this session, we invite active VSSIG members and external metadata experts, information scientists, Ontologists and Knowledge Engineers to present related ongoing activities within the group and outside the VSSIG. 
This session is organised in three parts:
1- an introductory set of short presentations of ongoing and new activities within the VSSIG
2- a lightning talk session during which we invite VSSIG participants, relevant RDA IG/WG as well as external initiatives to present their work on semantics and semantic interoperability.
3- a discussion session regarding the FAIR Semantics recommendations and how they could be used for assessing the FAIRness of Semantic Artefacts.
