Finland collaborates with SEMIC.EU experts and plans to establish a national repository. Therefore experts on semantic interoperability will ? on behalf of SEMIC.EU - held a workshop on 13th October. This occasion takes place in Berlin.
The workshop covers the Reuse of the whole SEMIC.EU Platform logic, including technical as well as conceptual aspects, for a national repository. At the same time Finnish peculiarities concerning processes and other differences will be outlined and first implementation solutions will be discussed.
The IDABC Project Officer Aldo Laudi welcomes the Finnish initiative very much:
'As we consider, the Reuse that SEMIC.EU enables to is not limited to assets. The technology and the strategy of SEMIC.EU itself can be reused. Therefore all Member States implementing and enlarging existing repositories for semantic interoperability are supported by SEMIC.EU at any stage.'
SEMIC.EU is acting on an Open Source strategy; hence all concepts, processes and all technical solutions are shared for Reuse among the Member States.
Tommi Karttaavi is the President of the Internet Society Finland and envisioned the Finnish national repository. Pan-European eGovernment spreads out the faster Member States conduct a service like SEMIC.EU. All national inputs are also found in the SEMIC.EU Repository however the main advantage is diversity. If Member States have their own repository they can easily develop assets in their language and especially for their needs with respect to culture, region and politics. Resulting in a higher reuse of assets and ideas and a realisation of divers strategies.
