Charter: The Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) is established by a group of individuals for the purpose of achieving "semantic interoperability" and "semantic data integration" focused on the government sector. The SICoP seeks to enable Semantic Interoperability, specifically the "operationalizing" of these technologies and approaches, through online conversation, meetings, tutorials, conferences, pilot projects, and other activities aimed at developing and disseminating best practices. The individuals making up this CoP represent a broad range of government organizations and the industry and academic partners that support them. However, the SICoP claims neither formal nor implied endorsements by the organizations represented and its main purpose is to support CoP members in their efforts to make the Semantic Web operational in their agencies (Edited down from on January 22, 2008). For simple example of "semantic interoperability" see slides 15-18. Also see HL7.Org's Coming to Terms: Scoping Interoperability for Healthcare with references to SICoP.
