Data Contextualization and the Unified Namespace

Data contextualization adds meaning to raw data by linking it with information such as asset, product, order, location, unit and time. A Unified Namespace (UNS) is an architectural approach that organizes and shares current operational information in a common, structured space, often using publish/subscribe messaging. A UNS can support contextualized data exchange, but it still requires agreed models, governance and secure integrations.
