Abstract
We describe collaborative efforts among a group of Knowledge Representation (KR) experts, domain scientists, and scientific information managers in developing knowledge models for ecological and environmental concepts. The development of formal, structured approaches to KR used by the group (i.e., ontologies) can be informed by evidence marshalled from unstructured approaches to KR and semantic tagging already in use by the community.
