Abstract
The OntoPortal Alliance is a consortium of research and infrastructure teams dedicated to promoting services for ontologies and other semantic resources—in science and other domains—based on the open, collaboratively developed OntoPortal open source software. Teams in the Alliance develop and maintain several openly accessible semantic resource repositories. This includes BioPortal, the primary and historical source of OntoPortal code, and also AgroPortal, EcoPortal, MedPortal and MatPortal. The OntoPortal Alliance members and other partners gathered from Sept. 26 to 29th, 2022 in Montpellier for the 1st OntoPortal Workshop. The meeting gathered around 20 persons including management, research and technical profiles. The 2022 workshop's main goals were to consolidate the OntoPortal Alliance organization and shared agenda, and to inform and engage the larger scientific community interested in the OntoPortal platform. The program included several sessions (technical, content, management) as shown in the program overview, and a public session attended by 35 participants (including 10 persons from the workshop). The public session included a technical OntoPortal installation tutorial. In preparation of the event, a survey gathered the partners' perceptions and needs with respect totheir involvement in the group. Each team submitted a response for the portal (or portals) developed by their team. See survey responses. In addition, each partner's presentations are available here. The event demonstrated the clear motivation and commitment of the Alliance members to collaborateon the OntoPortal technology and the implementation of ontology-based services in general. This document is a summary of the discussions and the decisions taken.
