AgGateway has been working for some time to create and refine semantic resources. From codes that help document agricultural lab test methods, to unambiguously describing the crop or a field operation as data moves from system to system, agrisemantic resources help ensure the meaning of data is also shared.

But what role do these resources play with the advent of LLMs? Will the machines now be able to infer all the necessary meaning on their own, or are these types of resources more important than ever? We will discuss some of the work AgGateway has done, how it impacts AI tools being developed and what future topics may need to be addressed.
