Marc Portier
Open Science Team Lead
Oostende | Belgium
Biography
Since 2020 Marc works as the Open Science Team lead in the Flanders Marine Data Centre (VMDC) at VLIZ.be. His team strives to translate the open collaborative DNA at VLIZ into practical "Open Science" solutions. We aim to reduce the cost of interoperability by advocating and adopting Linked Open Data and Knowledge Graph technologies. They allow to interlink both raw data and conclusions from the various highly specialised research domains.
Prior to his job in Open Science, Marc built up +25 years in software systems engineering and team management. He has done this in various domains (telecommunications, content management, government administration, marine research), for a wide range of organisation types (NPO, industry, startup, government agency to open source collaborations) and under various roles (employee, entrepreneur, consultant, activist and volunteer). The common recurring theme in this has been the adoption and advancement of the «open» movement in its many forms.
Speaker session
Cross-border Semantic Interoperability: From Models Discovery and Design to Implementation and Reuse - part 1
STUDIO 214+216
The workshop explores the various stages of the data model lifecycle. We'll discuss what resources are currently available for reuse and delve into the authoring of new models while avoiding common quality pitfalls. Additionally, we'll examine the role of automation and AI in this process. Once models are developed, we'll consider how they can be made discoverable and accessible for future reuse. Given that these models serve a variety of user profiles, we'll also cover strategies for documenting them in an accessible manner for all beneficiaries. Finally, we will address the practical application of these models in the operational setting of a data space.
Throughout the session, industry experts will share their insights, detailing the processes they employ and the tools they develop and use to facilitate their work.
