WORKSHOPS
The Semantic Workshops is an event focused on the development and application of semantic technologies in data management. It aims to foster collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to advance the use of semantic approaches for improving data interoperability, integration, and governance. The workshop covers topics such as ontologies, data semantics, and related technologies, offering insights into how these tools can enhance data sharing and utilization in various sectors. The event typically features presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities to explore innovative solutions and best practices in the field.

Our mission
The continuously increasing number of Data Spaces and datamarkets in Europe, as well as the related funding lines and regulations by the European Commission regarding the topics of (secure) data sharing of industrial and personal related data as well as research data clearly shows the increasing need to discuss, specify and realise (syntactic and semantic) data interoperability between such data spaces and beyond.
This workshop series and accompanying activities brings together researchers, decision makers and practitioners in the field of the development and operation of European (common) Data Spaces, datamarkets and other web-based data management systems that allow data sharing, trading and data collaboration, to discuss requirements, standards, tools, licenses and more regarding (semantic data) interoperability in data spaces.
Outcomes and results
The main objectives are: to discuss, work on and specify
- requirements for syntactic and semantic interoperability, outcomes will be published freely available under an open license / under open access;
- concrete tools and thereby the provision of a landscape of existing tools and list of vocabularies. All outcomes will be published freely available under an open license / under open access;
- the need for related standardisation, as well as.

Further reading
We invite you to download and read the recently published position paper “Semantic Interoperability in Data Spaces”. This paper was written by members of the IDSA and explores key concepts in semantic interoperability within data spaces, presenting main ideas from the Reference Architecture Model version 4 (RAM 4). It explains how these concepts not only apply to data spaces but also intersect with broader interoperability principles, drawing on best practices from various projects.
It is meant as further reading and is not directly connected to the workshop.
