AIOTI Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Digital Twins

The AIOTI Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Digital Twins is aimed at advancing the field of semantic interoperability and laying the groundwork for the next generation of information systems. The workshop will focus on solutions for industry along with encouraging greater take-up of semantic technologies, including controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, and ontologies. Semantic interoperability is essential for supply chains as well as for repairs and recycling in relation to the plans for the circular economy as part of the EU’s Green Deal.

Semantic Interoperability is the ability of computer systems to exchange data with a shared, unambiguous meaning. Achieving this is critical to opening up markets for services and data, avoiding fragmented data silos, and enabling seamless cross-domain data infrastructures.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

• State of the Art: Establishing a shared understanding of the current landscape of semantic interoperability.
• Success Stories and Best Practices: Showcasing successful implementations and identifying common practices, e.g., at GS1 and eclass.
• Challenges and New Technologies: Exploring what is missing and the potential contributions of emerging technologies, including AI and digital twins. Discussing metrics for evaluating the maturity of vocabularies, taxonomies, and ontologies.
• Roadmap and Next Steps: Concluding with recommendations for advancing the field and proposing a roadmap for future development.

This AIOTI workshop is organized by ERCIM, with the support of the Center Inria Université Côte d’Azur, the Nephele and SmartEdge EU projects.
