What drives our work is the idea that semantic interoperability is not fundamentally a technical problem, but a commons governance problem. As we’ve mentioned before: 'Systems not talking actually represent people not talking.' Keeping that in mind, we are asking the question: how can Generative AI help?

That was the subject I explored in my recent presentation, "Practical Experiences with BOMOS, Semantic Treehouse, and GenAI," at the ENDORSE 2025 conference in Brussels. For those who couldn't attend, I'm happy to share the full recording of the session.

In this video we explain the work done on the Paperless Bulk Transport use case. This explainer video is created as part of the Living Labs of the Centre of Excellence for Data Sharing and Cloud (CoE-DSC).

About our workshop​

From September 17-19, 2024, we attended the SEMANTICS-2024 conference in Amsterdam, where we delivered a half-day tutorial about semantics in data spaces.

The workshop provided a practical perspective on the role of semantics in data spaces, based on the current challenges we face in practice. We talked about:

• Data spaces and the role of a vocabulary hub,
• How to established semantic interoperability in a data sharing community setting,
• How the bridge the gap between the two paradigms for interoperability: Linked Data based interoperability and (EDI) message based interoperability.

About the talk​

In this second IDSA Tech Talk on semantic interoperability in data spaces we shared our view and lessons learned on the role of Application profiles in specifying semantics for data spaces. Thank you IDSA for the opportunity to share and learn from the data spaces community.

Thanks to our friends at IDSA, I had the opportunity to talk about semantic interoperability in data spaces. Here's the official description of the event:

On the 15th of March I had the opportunity to present the concept of a Vocabulary Hub in the "Towards data spaces" track of the ENDORSE conference 2023.

You can downloaded the Presentation slides and read our position on the Vocabulary Hub.

Today we had the opportunity to present our applied research activities in the field of semantic interoperability in data spaces to the PLDN community. PLDN is the community of linked data experts in the Netherlands. In my presentation I positioned the importance of semantics, shared ontologies and a Vocabulary Hub in realizing semantic interopability in a data space.

Position paper​

To read more about the topic of semantic interoperability in data space, please take a look at our position paper The Vocabulary Hub to configure data space connectors

Our colleague Wouter van den Berg (TNO) presented our position paper The Vocabulary Hub to configure data space connectors at the workshop Data Space & Semantic Interoperability in Vienna.

In this position paper we propose a wizard-like approach for data space connector configuration, where data consumers and data providers are guided through a sequence of steps to generate the specifications of their data space connectors, based on the shared vocabularies in the vocabulary hub. We illustrate this with our own implementation of a vocabulary hub, called Semantic Treehouse.
