This paper explores the applicability of the Semantic Web technologies to the logistics domain, as an open, flexible and efficient approach to share the digital information. The Semantic Web is a framework of technical standards and information management tools that provides a method to store and publish digital data, securely, easily searched, cross-referenced and processed by computers. The proposed approach is introduced within the framework of the H2020 - Shift2rail initiative and FR8HUB project and defined as “Internet of Logistics”, since it aims at creating a common, distributed and interoperable data exchange infrastructure. It overcomes the limitations of traditional supply chain communication systems based on one2one messages (e.g. EDI), and the complexity associated to ad-hoc IT system implementations that are required to build interfaces between legacy systems, enabling new possibilities for the digitalization of processes and operations in the freight sector.
