description

Progress in the uptake and use of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things seems to be stalled by the colossal fragmentation of information and data standards. This complexity is compounded by issues of inter-organisational differences, hindering effective collaboration. There is a growing demand for cross-organizational integrations in regulated but decentralized environments. This paper introduces an ontology architecture where information is sliced into independent semantic layers, each focusing on a specific aspect of the data. By dissolving traditional monolithic data structures into layered, light semantic components, the necessity to maintain contextual metadata is diminished. The model proposes an ontology structure based on decentralized technologies to ensure an open environment and to avoid the flaws of centralized systems.
