<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">EDI is assembling a working group to address how EDI may improve data discoverability by adopting appropriate vocabularies, ontologies or other registries of resources
which have permanent identifiers. Projects the working group may pursue include 1) collaborations with developers of semantic resources such as EnvThes and the ENVO Ontology, 2) aligning vocabularies already in use (e.g, the LTER Controlled Vocabulary) with
other resources, 3) structured descriptions of measurements, including units and dimensions, 4) best practice recommendations for dataset annotation, and 5) organizing workshops and hackathons for applying semantic tools.</span></span><br>
