Ontology engineering, vocabulary governance, taxonomy design and semantic interoperability, for organisations whose data must converge on one shared meaning.
Ontologies, semantic layers and knowledge graphs that give your data one meaning. We design them from the questions your people need answered and build them over the systems you already run.
If an LLM can describe your domain, what is a semantic model for? The ones that earn their keep record what an organisation has decided.
Digital services run on contracts. Exchanging data by its meaning needs a second contract, on the data itself, written in a formalism that is not open to interpretation.
Code lists, classifications and thesauri your team can maintain with confidence. We assess them against the FAIR principles, set up the editorial workflow and tools, and train the people who own them.
Publishing a vocabulary creates an artifact and a maintenance commitment. It becomes an asset when the parties around it build on it, and the same vocabulary can be an asset in one ecosystem and a liability in another.
A standard's authority comes from who publishes it. Its authoritativeness comes from who builds on it. Programmes that confuse the two choose by letterhead.
Business classification schemes and taxonomies built from what your people know. We gather it through interviews and focus groups, structure it from top concepts down, and set up its governance.
Data that crosses organisations and borders with its meaning intact. We bring interoperability into the first design decision, where it costs least: we align your models with what your ecosystem already adopts, prove the approach in data space pilots, and measure convergence with the EVIDENT framework.
Interoperability is always between particular parties, for a particular purpose. A programme that names both can measure progress; one that names neither can only report activity.
Services that work across borders follow from even digital maturity between countries. The fastest way to level it is to transplant what already works.
Senior input on architecture, governance or standards, on a retainer or per question.
Leading the delivery of a registry, model or platform as PM, tech lead or product owner.
Joining a bid or consortium as the semantic interoperability specialist.
EU institutions, national administrations, international organisations, research infrastructures and industry teams whose data must share meaning across organisations.
Yes. We join as the semantic interoperability partner, from proposal writing to delivery.
With a free 30-minute call about your data and what has to change. Then we send a short written proposal with the scope, the steps and the cost.
By evidence. We look at who maintains a model, how authoritative it is, whether it runs in production and which of the participants you exchange data with already use it.
Yes. We build on what you already run and on established standards such as SKOS, OWL and the EU core vocabularies, so nothing gets locked into a tool of ours.
