  abstract = {This paper presents a method for making metadata conforming to
heterogeneous schemas semantically interoperable. The idea is to
make the knowledge embedded in the schema structures interoperable
and explicit by transforming the schemas into a shared, event-based
representation of knowledge about the real world. This enables and
simplifies accurate reasoning services such as cross-domain semantic
search, browsing, and recommending. A case study of transforming
three different schemas and datasets is presented. An implemented
knowledge-based recommender system utilizing the results in the
semantic portal \CS\ was found useful in a preliminary user study.}
