Within an organization or enterprise, multiple knowledge organization systems tend to be siloed and used for different purposes in different systems (the website, the intranet, technical documentation publishing, the product catalog, customer support articles, training materials, etc.). If this disparate information that is in different locations could be accessed together, shared, and compared or analyzed, there would be many benefits, including saved time in finding information, greater knowledge discovery, better decision-making, greater competitiveness, and increased user satisfaction. The “semantic layer” approach is a promising way to bring connections across multiple knowledge organization systems, to the various content and data they link to, and end-user applications.
