An Evolving Data Space: A framework for unifying domain knowledge and data (354 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 (348 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 (366 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 (388 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 (378 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 (394 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 (331 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.
