Edge Translator is a sophisticated technology that dynamically transforms known ontologies into a common, shared ontology, either at the device or server level. This means that it can translate and align data formats and languages in real time, ensuring seamless data exchange across different platforms and systems.
Whether running on a mobile device to save network and computing resources or running on a server to improve performance, Edge Translator is designed to be flexible and efficient. It also allows for the integration of external translation services, further enhancing its usefulness.

The Utility of Edge Translator

The main benefit of Edge Translator lies in its ability to ensure the interoperability of jobs, skills and qualifications data. It achieves this by converting data from different sources into a standard format, allowing for smoother data exchange. Take, for example, a user with a digital CV containing French ROME skills who wants to apply for jobs in Finland using the Finnish language version of ESCO. Edge Translator invisibly converts French ROME to French ESCO and then to Finnish ESCO. This conversion ensures that the user’s skills are accurately matched with Finnish job market data, and it all happens seamlessly in the background.

Unique Selling Proposition

The outstanding feature of Edge Translator is its dual ability to work at both the device and server level, coupled with support for activity between ontologies and between languages within the data space. This dual functionality ensures that Edge Translator is not only versatile but also efficient, catering to different user requirements and scenarios. Its ability to connect to external translation services adds another layer of flexibility, making it a comprehensive solution to data interoperability challenges.

In addition, Edge Translator is equipped with AI capabilities that enhance its performance through matching suggestions and improvements, ensuring that data exchange is not only seamless, but also accurate and relevant.
Planned Timeline and Future Directions
The timeline for the development of Edge Translator is ambitious: an early version (V0.1) is to be tested by October 2024, and a refined version (V1.0) is to be released in January 2025.

Edge Translator is a testament to technological progress in bridging gaps in data communication and interoperability. By enabling seamless, real-time translations between different ontologies and languages, it not only facilitates efficient data exchange, but also opens up new possibilities for global collaboration and understanding. Looking ahead to its launch and future iterations, Edge Translator is poised to become an indispensable tool in the arsenal of data-driven industries worldwide.
