I wasn't surprised to see Rob Sanderson quoted in this, because rich vs aligned semantics - specifically , wanting both at the same time - is *such* a cultural heritage data interoperability problem #MuseTech

Attached: 2 images There’s a tension between being semantically rich (using your own terms and definitions), and being semantically aligned, in which you try to reuse terms from other vocabularies. I think we need a new concept: eventual #interoperability. I propose to start rich with your own vocabularies, and only make alignments when there’s a concrete reason for building those. https://pietercolpaert.be/interoperability/2026/01/08/eventual-interoperability #knowledgegraphs #apis #li…

Nicht vergessen: morgen beginnt der FAIR February mit einer Paneldiskussion zum Thema Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten in digitalen Editionen. 📚👾📖
Am 18.02. folgt dann eine Sitzung (die ich mit hoste 👋) zum Thema Vernetzung (von Forschungsdaten). 🌐🪡🧵💾
Wie überschneiden sich FAIR und LOD? Und wie sieht das in Hinblick auf Forschungsdaten aus? Für mich aktuell recht relevant: BEACONs. Was ist der Status quo und was geht da noch?

#DMA achievement unlocked: #AirDrop interoperability.
"In some ways, Apple’s journey to Wi-Fi Aware recalls the iPhone’s journey to USB-C: first, Apple developed a proprietary port that achieved some of the same goals as USB-C; Apple then contributed work to what would become the standardiz…

Improving the usability of C libraries in Swift
There are many interesting, useful, and fun C libraries in the software ecosystem. While one could go and rewrite these libraries in Swift, usually there is no need, because Swift provides direct interoperability with C. With a little setup, you can directly use existing C libraries from your Swift code.
