Outcomes and results
Collection of main Results and Statements Gaps and Requirements for Interoperability in Data Spaces
- Diverse Approaches to Semantic Interoperability: Participants explored multiple strategies, including the use of ontologies, SHACL shapes, and JSON schemas, to facilitate semantic interoperability across data spaces.

Interconnect Semantic Interoperability Framework in support of CERF for energy in data exchange and aggregation in semantic interoperable manner towards alignment with European Energy Data Spaces (14185 downloads ) , Milenko Tošić, Fábio Coelho, David Rua, Barry Nouwt, Gjalt Loots and Daniel Alonso – VizLore Labs Foundation; INESC TEC & U.Minho; INESC TEC; TNO; Big Data Value Association – 2024
The paper presents a semantic interoperability approach at the heart of the first version of the Common European Reference Framework (CERF) aimed at establishing interoperability at scale as needed by the European energy system. The paper also reflects on how this approach maps onto the main objectives set for the European Data Space for Energy.

An Evolving Data Space: A framework for unifying domain knowledge and data (14441 downloads ) , Pedro Guimaraes, Antonio C. Vieira, and Maribel Y. Santos – CCG/ZGDV and University of Minho – 2024
This paper proposes a framework that leverages evolving Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to address semantic integration challenges in Data Spaces. The framework continuously enriches a KG by integrating heterogeneous data and generating new domain knowledge through intelligent unifiers. This process results in an updated domain reference model that adapts to new knowledge and supports further semantic integrations.

Raising the Role of Vocabulary Hubs for Semantic Data Interoperability in Dataspaces (13593 downloads ) , Robert David, Petar Ivanov, Vladimir Alexiev – SWC, Ontotext – 2024
Europe is heavily investing in dataspaces for industrial data sharing, but faces semantic interoperability challenges. The Vocabulary Hub aims to enhance metadata descriptions and integrate semantic descriptions into datasets, thereby improving data querying. We provide a solution by integrating the PoolParty and GraphDB products, further developed in the Digital Europe project UNDERPIN focusing on refinery and wind farm data.

Agriculture Data Space for Sovereign Data Sharing and Semantic Integration (12255 downloads ) , Roberto Garcıa and Rosa Gil – Universitat de Lleida, Spain – 2024
We present an agriculture data space that provides data sovereignty by design and postpones data integration until needed. It supports different agricultural use cases, semantic data integration and guarantees data originators remain in control because data consumers can use it but without accessing the original data or a copy of it.

Towards Data Interoperability for the Digital Product Passport Ecosystem (13043 downloads ) , Iván Alfonso, Daniele Pagani, and Jordi Cabot – Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) – 2024
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative is a European effort to boost the circular economy by enhancing product sustainability and lowering environmental impact. I will present a proposal for a common foundational schema for DPP data to ensure solution interoperability, implemented using the low-code BESSER platform to quickly generate a comprehensive software DPP infrastructure.

Establishing semantic interoperability across data spaces: a solution for sharing vocabularies (15339 downloads ) , Wouter van den Berg, Jelte Bootsma, Jan Pieter Wijbenga, Linda Oosterheert, Michiel Stornebrink – TNO – 2024
Sharing data across different sectors holds tremendous value. However, this comes with challenges, as each sector develops its own vocabularies and tools. These vocabularies are not accessible across different sectors, and consequently, thus not being used in other sectors. To bridge this gap, our position paper describes a standardized solution to exchange vocabularies across data sharing communities.

Towards quantitative measures of interoperability (13135 downloads ) , Juan Cano-Benito, Andrea Cimmino, Raul Garcıa-Castro – Ontology Engineering Group – 2024
The increase in IoT devices has generated the need to homogenize heterogeneous data. Although standards exist to achieve interoperability, their technical implementation varies, making quantitative measurement difficult. We propose a methodology to evaluate and certify interoperability based on an agreed standard, ensuring communication between heterogeneous systems.

Cascading Effects Analysis Enabled by Semantic Interoperability in the Resilience Data Space (13412 downloads ) , Federico Gutt, Martin Huschka, Alexander Stolz – Fraunhofer EMI for High-Speed Dynamics, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Institut für nachhaltige technische Systeme – 2024
Crisis and their cascading effects stress the need for resilient critical infrastructure. A lack of standardized methods for handling diverse, decentralized data hinders it. This paper explores how semantic interoperability in a resilience data space allows a knowledge graph-based approach to analyze such effects, enabling data-driven crisis management.

A Semantic Interoperability Toolkit for Sharing Energy Data and Models in a Manufacturing Data Space (13062 downloads ) , Tharindu Ranathunga, Sourabh Bharti, Alan McGibney – Munster Technological University, Ireland – 2024
This paper explores achieving semantic interoperability in a manufacturing data space, focusing on sharing energy-related data and ML models to achieve energy efficiency. It introduces a toolkit to enhance the use of existing semantic ontologies during data preparation and ML model training workflows and prepares their outputs to be shared in an IDSA-based ecosystem.

Towards a Federated Data and Service Catalogue (15302 downloads ) , Johannes Theissen-Lipp, Ahmad Hemid, Christoph Lange and Christina Gillmann – Fraunhofer FIT; RWTH Aachen University – 2024
The integration and management of heterogeneous data pose challenges across various applications, requiring scalable solutions to handle large volumes of data, maintain compatibility, and ensure security, privacy, and regulatory compliance. This position paper presents a federated data and service catalogue based on the Eclipse XFSC framework. It presents enhancements such as individual application profiles, metadata service offerings, trusted management, interoperable data sharing and ecosystem integration. These contributions address the critical requirements of federated dataspaces, providing a robust, secure and scalable infrastructure for effective data integration and management across diverse applications.

AD4GD semantic interoperability approach for a Green Deal Data Space (13471 downloads ) , Raul Palma, Bogusz Janiak, Rob Atkinson, Piotr Zaborowski, Alejandro Villar, Francesca Noardo, Alba Brobia Ansoleaga, Ivette Serral, Joan Maso Pau, Lucy Bastin – PSNC; OGC; CREAF; Aston University - 2024
AD4GD project is designing and implementing a set of building blocks to support Green Deal (GD) Data Space(s) providing interoperability support for the heterogeneous and increasingly growing set of data and services in the various GD areas, including a modular semantic data model that is based on existing standards, data harmonization mechanisms and the exploitation of standard interfaces.

Advancing Cancer Treatment by Strategically Integrating Multimodal Data: Challenges and Opportunities (13348 downloads ) , Haridimos Kondylakis, Angelina Kouroubali, Dimitrios G. Katehakis – Department of Computer Science, UOC; FORTH-ICS; HDHC - 2024
Strategically integrating multimodal data holds the potential for advancing cancer treatment. However, it poses significant challenges, particularly in interoperability, governance, and regulations. Exploiting shared, controlled vocabularies, clear semantic relationships, and addressing also governance and regulation problems, can lead to more effective and personalized cancer treatments.

BDVA’s position paper "Data Sharing Spaces and Interoperability" (12463 downloads ) , Antonio Kung, Ray Walshe and Rigo Wenning – Trialog; DCU; ERCIM – 2024
At the Workshop on Semantic Interoperability in Data Spaces, Rigo Wenning, one of the main editors, will present the BDVA Position Paper on Data Sharing Spaces and Interoperability. The presentation will focus the reasons why semantic interoperability is a key concern in data spaces. It will then explore ways to create interoperable knowledge on data and how that will support the data economy.
