  4. Spatial Ontology Community of Practice (SOCoP) Draft Charter • Purpose: SOCoP is chartered as a Community of Practice under the Best Practices Committee of the Federal CIO Council. The strict purpose and focus of the Spatial Ontology Community of Practice (SOCoP) is to foster collaboration among researchers, technologists & users of spatial knowledge representations and reasoning towards the development of a set of core, common spatial ontologies for use by all in the Semantic Web. As a Community of Practice SOCoP using open collaboration and open standards, SOCoP developed ontologies will offer increased interoperability of spatial data across government (via synchronization with Geospatial Profile of FEA & GeoLOB) as well as across the entire spectrum of the World Wide Web (via W3C, ISO, OGC, etc.). SOCoP represents a strategic investment for ontology development, building on core ontological competencies, documenting best practices, and creating opportunities to partner with other cross domain and ontology COP groups. Among other things SOCoP can help inventory geospatial ontologies, develop an approach to institutionalizing and streamline the effort to support the development and management of ontologies across the GeoLOB. • Membership and Chair: Membership in the SOCoP is open to all. The SOCoP will maintain a membership roster. The SOCoP will also have the following officers to be elected annually: Government Co-Chair: Kevin Backe, Technical Director, Engineer Research and Development Center, Topographic Engineering Center, US Army Corps of Engineers • Non-government Co-Chair: John Moeller, Senior Principal Engineer, Northrop Grumman Information Technology, Intelligence Group (TASC) and former Staff Director of the Federal Geographic Data Committee • Executive Secretariat: Todd Pehle, Northrop Grumman Information Technology
