Last 23 October, our external collaborator, Dr Ken Bagstad, presented ARIES’s approach to semantic interoperability at Living Data 2025, a global conference that brought together nearly 1,000 scientists, researchers, and practitioners to advance biodiversity monitoring and conservation.
Ken introduced how ARIES applies semantic interoperability to connect data and models across disciplines. This approach enables machines to understand data meaning and context, improving transparency, integration, and the relevance of scientific outputs for decision-making.
He also highlighted ARIES’s contribution to global biodiversity goals, including support for the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and its commitment to making FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data and models more accessible worldwide.
This presentation reflects ARIES’s ongoing work to make environmental data more connected and interoperable through technologies such as k.LAB, linking knowledge across disciplines to drive informed, evidence-based action for nature.
