3. Why to get it
• Interoperability between organisations remains a crucial challenge
• Data AND Knowledge between organisations, even in the same
supply chain are not homogenized!
• To facilitate data sharing/integration between entities/departments
• To support the matching of similar concepts originating from different
sources
