Laura Daniele is a Senior Scientist with over a decade of experience pioneering semantic interoperability, ontologies, and semantic technologies for the IoT, particularly across smart homes, buildings, and energy domains. Based at TNO in The Hague, she leads European research projects and standardization efforts, notably as the driving expert behind the SAREF ontology at ETSI and co-leader of AIOTI’s semantic interoperability work. Her strength is translating complex, heterogeneous data landscapes into inclusive, open integration solutions that avoid vendor lock-in and enable cross-domain value creation. With a PhD from the University of Twente and a background in electronic engineering and classical humanities, she combines rigorous technical research with a human-centered perspective on standardization and ecosystem building. An understated differentiator is her long-standing role in convening communities—running ETSI specialist task forces and supervising PhD students—to sustain practical, widely adopted semantic standards.
