Semantic Integration and Interoperability Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • AbstractA key aspect of establishing data spaces is to develop a common understanding of the data to be shared in the data space. Semantic standards and technologies were developed for this purpose since over two decades. In this article, we will discuss the history and importance of semantic integration for data spaces. We will introduce the base concepts of semantic integration—including the global identifiers for data and the W3C standards RDF, RDF-Schema, and OWL. As a result these standards and technologies can be used to devise versatile Knowledge Graphs capturing domain conceptualizations and concrete data representations. We explain how data interoperability can be achieved by linking and mapping between different data and knowledge representations. Finally we will showcase their use with an example for data integration in supply chains with the ScorVoc vocabulary.
