Researchers use semantic AI to integrate complex knowledge and apply it toward environmental decision-making

A new article led by researchers at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) and Ikerbasque shows how semantic-driven integration technologies are able to integrate independently produced data and models in the field of environmental sustainability. This is an important step towards achieving data and model reusability and interoperability and moves open science forward, with the prospect of favouring knowledge integration and scientific evidence synthesis that may benefit both the science and policy communities.
