Workshop Description

On 01 October 2024 the 3rd Workshop will take place back2back with the European Big Data Value Forum 2024 (EBDVF2024) in Budapest, Hungary.

The focus of the 3rd workshop is two-fold:
  • to discuss different approaches for semantic interoperability in and between data spaces (e.g. ontologies and controlled vocabularies, SHACL shapes, JSON schemas, etc…), and 
  • to raise awareness for and discuss cross-domain (semantic) interoperability concepts (e.g. methodologies, vocabularies), and
  • to bridge the gap between such concepts, overall and particular in regards to standardisation.
Who is the Workshop addressed to?
  • You are a researcher, decision maker or practitioner 
  • You work in the development and operation of European (common) data spaces, data markets and other web-based data management systems 
  • You know about a data sharing, trading and data collaboration
  • You want to discuss requirements, standards, tools, licenses and more regarding (semantic data) interoperability in data spaces
What a domain contribution is?

We are asking for contributions from different domains along the Common European Data Spaces and beyond, like

  • Agriculture 
  • Cultural Heritage
  • Energy
  • Finance
  • Greed Deal
  • Health
  • Language
  • Manufacturing
  • Media
  • Mobility
  • Public Administration
  • Research & Innovation
  • Skills
  • Tourism
This one-day workshop will be a mix of presentations, interactive parts and discussions

The output document will summarise all the inputs and discussions about mainly (a) different approaches of semantic interoperability inside and between data spaces, (b) current concrete applied methods of semantic interoperability in specific domains and thereby highlighting differences and overlaps. The outcome will be published freely available under an open license / under open access.

Call for participation

To address the topics of (semantic) interoperability in data spaces and in particular (i) to present, demonstrate and discuss different approaches for semantic interoperability (e.g. ontologies and controlled vocabularies, SHACL shapes, JSON schemas, etc…) in and between data spaces, (ii) to raise awareness for and discuss cross-domain (semantic) interoperability concepts (e.g. methodologies, vocabularies).

While the web of data is an unconstrained space, data spaces are a more regulated vision for the web of data. Actors coming to a data space adhere to a certain concept of data sharing with rules and constraints. Hence the increased need to express options in interoperable ways.

All submissions must have a strong focus on real world applications with a preference beyond the prototypical status and demonstrate the power of (semantic) interoperability in data spaces!

We ask for position papers in the listed and described topics, that can be presented at the workshop as 10 minute lightning talks.

Described with (i) a title, (ii) a short description, (iii) the name, the role, and the affiliation of the authors as well as of the speaker(s) at the workshop. In total: 5 pages max. (A4, font size 11, in PDF format).

The following topics of discussion are expected: 

  • Existing solutions for (semantic) interoperability from different domains (see above) such as
    • Vocabularies for data spaces
    • Tools for vocabularies and ontologies
    • Clearinghouse tools for vocabularies and ontologies
  • Overall Data Space tools and solutions for (semantic) interoperability
  • Governance models on (semantic) interoperability in Data Spaces

The Position Papers will be published on the Workshop’s website. If the number of Position Papers exceeds the availability of slots for presentation, a programme committee will select the papers that will be presented.

Plus: provision of URLs to the topic (if applicable), and the bio(s) of the speaker(s).
