Speaker session
The "EU wide registry of public sector semantic models" workshop aims to define actions to create a entry point for connecting national collections of semantic assets. It provides an ideal opportunity to receive presentations and influence discussions on the benefits of having insights into existing modeling work from Member Countries, the costs of not having the registry, the support it offers to a single market of cross-border public services. Additionally, the workshop will explore the value of the registry in preserving and transferring institutional know-how amid the constant reconfigurations of teams working in public bodies. Lastly, it will address the significance of the registry for AI-powered solutions in designing new semantic specifications while rationalizing existing models. We welcome contributions from all relevant disciplines and encourage participation from those in the public sector, open source, academic communities, and semantic technology practitioners.
