CrossRef: Taxonomy Interest Group flash session at STM Meeting April 2015
The document discusses a new initiative to build community around semantics among publishers. A Taxonomy Interest Group was formed, supported by CrossRef, for publishers to share experiences using taxonomies, knowledge models, and controlled vocabularies. The goal is to establish best practices, provide contacts, and strengthen infrastructure for scholarly communication through standardizing adoption of knowledge models. The group's website is presented as a place for information sharing and future community developments.
