Environments for collaborative work and social networking are increasingly complex. There is a clear need for these environments to provide support for semantics. This report discusses work on semantic annotation and interoperability for such environments that began in a hackathon at the Ontology Summit 2014. Our hackathon was primarily concerned with developing semantic tools for the Ontolog Community Wiki, but applies to ecosystems that involve many tools and environments. The hackathon spawned subsequent work that is of independent interest, including the development of an ontology mapping tool for customizing generic repository software for more specific purposes.
