ENDORSE may be a technical conference but not altogether!
‘I was surprised by the number of times ‘human’ has been mentioned during [ENDORSE]’, said @AristiNat @EU_DIGIT at #ENDORSE2023.

'Do benefits outweigh the costs' on the complexity and costs of the semantic fabric? This was a question Franck Noël @EULawDataPubs asked referring also to @esimperl's keynote at #ENDORSE2023.

‘Interoperability is also key because in building the data spaces […] we cannot create or recreate new silos of data. We have to really collaborate to find synergies.’
Said by @AristiNat @EU_DIGIT at #ENDORSE2023.

‘Compared with #ENDORSE2021, we had a much stronger focus on interoperability this year [#ENDORSE2023]. This is very positive as the Interoperable Europe Act will come into play,’ said @AristiNat @EU_DIGIT.

Among the evolutions seen since #ENDORSE2021, Franck Noël @EULawDataPubs cites the increasing importance of #AI. ‘Much of what we do around data and semantics might be framed by #AI and generative #AI in particular,’ he says.

'Not everything has changed since 2021,' says Franck Noël @EULawDataPubs. 'Have Linked Open Data held their promises? […] We are still talking about too many standards, which questions even the very meaning of the word "standard"'. #ENDORSE2023

The difference between the last ENDORSE conference and #ENDORSE2023 is, says @AristiNat, that ‘we are really looking at what we need to change, how we need to use the tools to make more usage of those in the future. We have to look at things in a different way [now].’

'This is part of the [Interoperable Europe Act] we are putting forward, which is to build a platform where all these innovation solutions, frameworks, standards can be shared and improved by anybody using them.' @AristiNat @EU_DIGIT.
