Thanks to our friends at IDSA, I had the opportunity to talk about semantic interoperability in data spaces. Here's the official description of the event:
"Interoperability within a data space requires participants to be able to understand each other. But how do you get data space participants to use a common language? According to the IDS Reference Architecture Model (RAM), the main responsibility for this common language lies with an intermediary role called a vocabulary provider. This role manages and offers vocabularies (ontologies, data models, schemata, taxonomies, codelists) that can be used to semantically annotate and describe datasets and data services. The vocabularies are made available in a vocabulary hub: a service that enables collaborative governance of the vocabularies."
"In the past few months the IDSA Working Group on vocabulary hub worked on elaborating this component and it’s position as data space supporting building block. In this webinar, Wouter van den Berg, one of the contributors to the working group, will tell us more. Wouter is working at TNO as Consultant Semantic Interoperability and Involvement in TNO’s development activities of semantic treehouse; an implementation of such a vocabulary hub."
The video covers:
- Why semantic interoperability is important
- The role vocabularies play in IDS
- The purpose of the IDS Vocabulary Hub
- A demo of Semantic Treehouse
Go ahead and watch the webinar, and let us know what you think!
