Semantic Interoperability: A Key Challenge for the Digital Transformation of Trade Among Economic Actors

In an era of interconnected systems, data-driven digital transformation, and economic sectors across the board being impacted by digital transformation, semantic interoperability has emerged as a key challenge in this transformation.

Semantic interoperability is the ability of computer systems to exchange information in a way that is understandable and usable, taking into account the meaning of the data. This means systems that not only exchange data but also understand its meaning so they can use it correctly.

Continuing to work with economic and trade partners within a seamless trading system to grow one’s business requires that the data exchanged be interoperable and that the participants in these systems understand one another.

This is the challenge of semantic interoperability, since the participants include both humans and IT solutions.
