Semantic artefacts are living entities that are undergoing changes through their lifecycle. As an example, when used these artefacts are becoming part of a data service and therefore changes and updates should be published to warn users that the data service should be updated. It is therefore crucial to have well identified governance policies for the semantic artefact. These policies should be available in human readable format but also whenever possible in machine actionable format to allow the automation of change propagation. They should cover the various aspects of the semantic artefact life cycle i.e. versioning policy, deprecation policy, contribution policy.
