How will the BSR semantic tool work?

The main BSR characteristics are the following:

• BSR semantic data are language independent.
  • The identifier is a code.
  • To this identifier is associated names and definitions of this semantic data, in different languages.
  • So every one can use the BSR in his favorite language (English, German, French, then spanish). Secondary sites are planned in order to take in account others languages such as Eastern European ones with their specific character sets.
• BSR semantic data are independent from sectors and cultures.
  • The BSR basic semantic data are context independent,
  • So different sectorial or cultural "views" may be registered without being subjected to the dictatorship of a special one.
  • Specific sectorial data may be registered in the BSR. They will be linked with basic semantic data as far as possible. So their usage will be eased.

The main proposed functionality is the following:

• Search of semantic components as well as semantic units in natural language or by code (if known).
• Display of any information for a given concept: any names in any languages, definitions, remarks, bridges, semantic links.
• Extraction/export of defined lists of entities with selected information will be possible under conditions.

The next figure shows the general organization with especially registration, validation, operational management functionality.

• BSR semantic data are produced by the user sectors and communities. TC154 role consists to harmonize semantics as far as possible and to control the BSR semantic tool.
