What is Semantic Interoperability

1.

Semantic interoperability denotes the ability of different applications and business partners to understand exchanged data in a similar way, implying a precise and unambiguous meaning of the exchanged information. Learn more in: Challenges of Interoperability in an Ecosystem

2.

An understanding of the meaning of the information exchanged between software components. Learn more in: Ontology-Based Coalition Creation by Autonomous Agents in Smart Space: An Approach and Case Study

3.

the ability to exchange and use information between two or more entities. Learn more in: Theory of Ontology and Meta-Modeling and the Standard: An Enabler for Semantic Interoperability

4.

Encompasses the meaning of data elements and the relationship between them. It includes developing vocabulary to describe data exchanges, and ensures that data elements are understood in the same way by communicating parties. Hence, semantic interoperability enables organisations to process information from external sources in a meaningful manner and ensures that the precise meaning of exchanged information is understood and preserved throughout exchanges between parties. Note that in the context of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), semantic interoperability also encompasses syntactic interoperability in the sense of describing the exact format of the information to be exchanged in terms of grammar, format and schemas.

6.

The ability of two or more computer systems to exchange information and have the meaning of that information accurately and automatically interpreted by the receiving system. Learn more in: Mediation and Ontology-Based Framework for Interoperability

7.

The ability of different information technology systems and software applications to, automatically, interpret the information exchanged meaningfully and accurately in order to produce useful results. Learn more in: An Overview and a Future Perspective in Health Information Systems in Portugal

8.

Ability of systems of understanding the meaning and context of the information exchanged among them. Ontologies, semantic technologies and knowledge management systems are means to facilitate semantic interoperability. Learn more in: Interoperability in IoT

9.

Semantic interoperability is a specialization of the general definition that is related to the understanding and interpretation of data that is exchanged for different actors of a system. Semantic interoperability provides a common understanding of the data, by using common nomenclatures and data formats. It targets the meaning of the data and not the packaging (i.e. syntax).

the degree to which natural language text and resources are anchored to a unified model of meaning across resources and languages Learn more in: KYOTO: A Wiki for Establishing Semantic Interoperability for Knowledge Sharing Across Languages and Cultures

11.

This means that cooperating parties allocate the same meaning to the data that is exchanged. Learn more in: BOMOS: Management and Development Model for Open Standards

12.

Applications can understand the meaning of representations and thus can setup automatically mappings between different representations by content analysis. Learn more in: Semantic Web Languages and Ontologies
