Hands-on introduction to semantic interoperability

Abstract

Industry standards being currently developed for the Internet and the Web of Things lack an interoperability layer to compose data from arbitrary origins. In order to have a semantic approach towards data transformation from different schemas, these schemas should be exposed as semantic models on the Web. In this tutorial, we present a four-step process to publish data schemas on the Web and show in practice how to align models with each other. Although it leverages Semantic Web technologies, no prior knowledge in this domain is required. The Web tools used all along the tutorial are open-source and used in various prototypes.
