Semantic Web

Whilst bIoTope should be understood as a highly flexible and dynamic ecosystem capable of seamlessly integrating arbitrary proprietary IoT platforms, it nevertheless builds upon several core components, which provide essential functionality. Those functionalities referenced in this article, are agnostic to other ecosystem-external systems. Inside of the ecosystem, a micro-service-architecture MSA approach is applied. Using O-MI for technical Interoperability and O-DF for syntactic and semantic interoperability are foundation pillars of the ecosystem.

Speed and cost reduction are plainly the factors of success in global competition. But more and more, the increasing amount of information aggravates the efficient access and finding of information from different systems. Semantic technologies provide convincing solutions by integration of process related knowledge models. Field-tested applications from areas like information retrieval, product development and online consulting illustrate further areas of application.
