Additional information: The Semantic Capability concept in IT architecture refers to the ability of a system or application to understand and interpret the meaning of data and information. This involves the use of semantic technologies such as ontologies, taxonomies, and metadata to provide context and structure to data, enabling better search, retrieval, and analysis. Semantic Capability is important in enabling interoperability between different systems and applications, as well as in supporting advanced analytics and decision-making processes. It is also a key enabler of the semantic interoperability, which aims to make data more accessible and useful by adding meaning and context to it.

Example: Decision: The semantics heterogeneity of Evidence across Data Consumer’s and Data Provider’s is managed
Consequence: New Capability: Evidence Semantic Management, including Semantic Mapping

dct:title: Architecture Decision Record about Semantic Capability

eira:adr_context: The context explains why we need to make a decision. It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons.

eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how.

eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)]

eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
