  4. 1. Purpose / Description • Participants will explore opportunities for multi-disciplinary and community-based collaboration around national challenges. By drawing on strategic leadership and "best practices" underway in the geospatial area, participants will learn how to conduct open collaboration in their own settings. Presentations will illustrate exemplary collaboration that is transforming geospatial information technology today. Growing Communities of Practice will benefit from knowledge-sharing including: • Open standards development • Web-based collaboration environments • Ontologies for efficient information-sharing and semantic interoperability • Federal Enterprise Architecture Data Reference Model V2.0 and Geospatial Profile 1.1 (and 2.0 in process) • Community to national scale needs and applications
