'''indecs'''<ref>http://cordis.europa.eu/econtent/mmrcs/indecs.htm</ref> (an acronym of "[[interoperability]] of data in [[e-commerce]] systems"; written in lower case) was a project partpartly funded by the [[European Community]] ''Info 2000'' initiative and by several organisations representing the music, rights, text publishing, authors, library and other sectors in 1998-2000, which has since been used in a number of [[metadata]] activities. A final report and related documents were published; the indecs Metadata Framework document<ref>http://www.doi.org/topics/indecs/indecs_framework_2000.pdf "Principles, model and data dictionary"</ref> is a concise summary.

Semantic interoperability deals with the question of how one computer system knows what the terms from another computer system mean (e.g. if A says "owner" and B says "owner", are they referring to the same thing? If A says "released" and B says "disseminated", do they mean different things?).
