The European Commission has launched a new eGovernment service: The Semantic Interoperability Centre Europe, SEMIC.EU, facilitates seamless and coherent data exchange and fosters digital collaboration across national and language borders. Information on the project which was implemented by ]init[ is available at www.semic.eu.

SEMIC.EU offers a platform for European cooperation. The Centre enables users to exchange solutions for pan-European data interchange in eGovernment. This way, the EU clears the way for harmonised data exchange in European administration and facilitates semantic interoperability – the assurance that the meaning of data is preserved and information is interpreted in the same way at all ends of the communication channels. Moreover, SEMIC.EU offers its users help and support in the development and advancement of their solutions as well as coaching service. It also creates networks and expert communities for eGovernment projects.
