The conclusions of the parallel session “Digitalisation as the Key Enabler: Semantic Interoperability; Protocols; Data Gateways; IoT Integration” can be summarised as follows:
- Digitalisation projects are needed to close the gap between ideas and reality (implementation). Projects are the means to implement an idea with interested users.
- Cross–sector data exchange reference architecture (based on the BRIDGE Data Management WG graphics; SGAM-based): There is a challenge on the level of dimensionality. From ‘Business systems at the top’ down to ‘connectivity to devices at lowest level’. Issues are indicated on how many layers in–between shall be used.
