AIOTI Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Digital Twins

Event Background

Hosted by AIOTI, the AIOTI Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Digital Twins will take place in Sophia Antipolis, France on 5-6 February 2025. The event aims to advance the field of semantic interoperability and laying the groundwork for the next generation of information systems.

The AIOTI Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Digital Twins invites industry leaders, standardisation bodies, and experts to an in-person event exploring cutting-edge solutions for industrial semantic interoperability. The workshop aims to address practical challenges in digital twin technology, discussing approaches to improve data exchange and industry standards for semantic interoperability.

Why you should attend

Attendees will have the ability to participate in a series of talks, panels, and breakout sessions with a focus on applying semantic technologies, such as ontologies and controlled vocabularies, to support sectors like supply chains, repairs, and the EU’s circular economy objectives.

Keynote speakers from leading organisations and projects will share insights and practical examples, from GS1’s experience with vocabulary management to FIWARE’s Smart Data Models.

Discussion Topics

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 interactive workshop will also examine how AI and emerging technologies can support semantic interoperability for digital twins, exploring use cases across various industrial applications. The agenda includes sessions on best practices for developing vocabularies, metrics to evaluate semantic maturity, and frameworks to support cross-domain interoperability.

By gathering cross-sector insights, the workshop seeks to establish a roadmap to advance semantic interoperability, encouraging widespread industry adoption and alignment with the EU’s Green Deal and digital ambitions.
