Welcome to the first digital edition of SEMIC, the annual semantic interoperability conference
Organised by the ISA2 Programme of the European Commission – in collaboration with the German Presidency of the Council of the EU – the event will take place entirely online, on 15 October 2020.
Participants are invited to take part in this interactive event, which will bring together policymakers, IT practitioners and researchers and has been designed around the theme of ‘Sustainable Data Services’.
The Semantic Interoperability Community (SEMIC) develops solutions to help European public administrations perform seamless and meaningful cross-border and cross-domain data exchanges, for the benefit of citizens.

Theme
The online 2020 SEMIC conference is themed around ‘Sustainable Data Services’.
Over the last decade, administrations have set data free from their isolated silos and gone increasingly in the direction of linked and open data. How do we maintain and foster these large data sets?
This event will demonstrate how large-scale data and vocabulary providers, such as governments and W3C, can implement semantic versioning while considering complex dependencies.
Participants can learn about examples of cross-border data exchange between public administrations and find out about the potential of new technologies. Parallel sessions, illustrated by case studies, will be held on:
- Methods and tools for the versioning and maintenance of semantic assets;
- How interoperability can help exchange COVID-19-related datasets across Member States;
- Optimising open data portals and user interfaces;
- Community-based semantic modelling with Wikibase and Wikidata.
