4 -Although semantic technologies are widely recognized as essential for digital transformation, their adoption in official statistics remains limited. Many existing data and metadata exchange standards — such as [[SDMX >>https://sdmx.org/]]and [[SIMS >>https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/64157/4373903/SIMS-2-0-Revised-standards-November-2015-ESSC-final.pdf/47c0b80d-0e19-4777-8f9e-28f89f82ce18]]— are developed within object-oriented frameworks and lack integration with [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page]] technologies. Classifications and reference systems used in statistics often have no persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html]], making it difficult to build sustainable semantic metadata.
4 +The Semantic Knowledge Management System (SKMS) is a platform for structuring and publishing institutional statistical knowledge using [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] technologies. It transforms internal expertise, documents, and metadata into a coherent, machine-interpretable semantic environment.

6 -**Interoperability Basis** addresses these challenges through an open, non-profit platform that semantically enables existing standards. The platform supports semantic alignment, enrichment, and publication of models using a knowledge management system, modeling tools, namespace control, and persistent URI infrastructure.
6 +Statistical glossaries, classifications, and indicators are extracted, formalised, and semantically enriched through the analysis of materials collected in the document Library. These assets are then represented as semantic models ([[RDF>>https://www.w3.org/RDF/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], [[SKOS>>https://www.w3.org/2009/08/skos-reference/skos.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], [[XKOS>>https://rdf-vocabulary.ddialliance.org/xkos.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]), with persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] and alignment across institutions, and serve as the foundation for the preparation and dissemination of linked open statistical data and [[smart metadata>>http://cosmos-conference.org/index.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]].

8 -By fostering international collaboration around semantic assets such as code lists and glossaries, the project supports the broader adoption of [[FAIR principles>>https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/]], scalable integration of [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page]] technologies into information sharing and [[linked data>>https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData]] dissemination, as well as the seamless use of interoperable data in AI-powered and user-friendly applications.

8 +For [[SDMX>>https://sdmx.org/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]-based structures, SKMS integrates with the [[Interoperability Basis platform>>https://basis.semanticip.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], enabling the semantic transformation and publication of [[SDMX>>https://sdmx.org/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] [[concepts>>https://basis.semanticip.org/xwiki/wiki/sdmx/view/Glossary/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], [[code lists>>https://basis.semanticip.org/xwiki/wiki/sdmx/view/Models/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], and data structures in accordance with [[Linked Data>>https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] principles.

10 +SKMS fosters the discovery, reuse, and interoperability of statistical data and metadata, providing a robust foundation for implementing the [[FAIR principles>>https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] across organizational and national boundaries.

17 -We are developing a semantic layer for the [[SDMX standard>>https://sdmx.org/]]. This includes:
19 +Labour statistics is the first domain within SKMS and serves as a practical demonstration of the platform’s capabilities. Based on [[documents>>doc:working:Methodology.WebHome||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] from institutions such as the ILO and national statistical offices, [[key concepts>>doc:working:Glossary.WebHome||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], classifications, and indicators are formalised and semantically enriched.
18 18  
19 -* Transformation of core [[glossary>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.WebHome]] concepts and code lists into [[RDF>>https://www.w3.org/RDF/]]/[[OWL>>https://www.w3.org/OWL/]]
20 -* Creation of persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html]] for glossary terms and codes
21 -* Semantic alignment of standard documents and glossary terminology
22 -* Publication of structured, semantically annotated SDMX documents
23 -* Presentation of prepared semantic models for expert review and discussion
21 +This process results in linked open statistical data and [[smart metadata>>http://cosmos-conference.org/index.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] describing employment, unemployment, working conditions, and other aspects of labour statistics — aligned with international standards and ready for cross-country use.
24 24  
25 -This work supports seamless integration of statistical data into the [[Linked Data>>https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData]] ecosystem and lays the foundation for future extension to other standards.
23 +The platform is ready to be enlarged by national statistical institutions and international organisations seeking to enhance the semantic quality and interoperability of statistical data.
