Abstract

FAIR data principles have been well received in the geoscience community. In recent years, many best practices of open data have demonstrated their value to facilitate data-driven discoveries in geoscience. Among those studies, semantics remains as a key topic of wide interest, which is relevant to terminology, data models, formats, metadata, ontology, vocabulary, knowledge graph, and many other subjects. In particular, with the thriving of Web-based data sharing and discovery activities and the extension of FAIR principles to data analysis software and other objects in open science, it is worth to have a reflection on the role of semantics in the FAIR principles and make recommendations for future works. In this presentation, we will review a few recent projects that have worked on semantics of data and implemented it in different steps of the data science workflow. We will analyze the pros and cons of the current practices, and will also present a vision for potential future improvements. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation program (#1835717, #2019609 and #2126315).
