-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/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] 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||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] — are developed within object-oriented frameworks and lack integration with [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] technologies. Classifications and reference systems used in statistics often have no persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], making it difficult to build sustainable semantic metadata. |

+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]] technologies. It transforms internal expertise, documents, and metadata into a coherent, machine-interpretable semantic environment. |

-**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>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] infrastructure. |
|

+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/]], [[SKOS>>https://www.w3.org/2009/08/skos-reference/skos.html]], [[XKOS>>https://rdf-vocabulary.ddialliance.org/xkos.html]]), with persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html]] and alignment across institutions, and serve as the foundation for the preparation and dissemination of linked open statistical data and smart metadata. |

-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/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], scalable integration of [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] technologies into information sharing and [[linked data>>https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] dissemination, as well as the seamless use of interoperable data in AI-powered and user-friendly applications. |

+For SDMX-based structures, SKMS integrates with the Interoperability Basis platform, enabling the semantic transformation and publication of SDMX concepts, code lists, and data structures in accordance with [[Linked Data>>https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData]] principles. |

+Labour statistics is the first domain within SKMS and serves as a practical demonstration of the platform’s capabilities. Based on documents from institutions such as the ILO and national statistical offices, key concepts, classifications, and indicators are formalised and semantically enriched. |
