Within the realm of nuclear science, a vast expanse of knowledge encompasses scientific, technical, and managerial domains, dispersed across numerous organizations of diverse types. As such, managing and provisioning distributed knowledge has emerged as a formidable challenge in federated organizational environments. This publication aims to serve as a valuable resource for organizations engaged in the management and utilization of nuclear knowledge. It delves into the realm of semantic information technologies, exploring the foundational standards established for interoperability on the World Wide Web. Furthermore, it discusses the construction of knowledge bases derived from distributed knowledge, highlighting the methodologies employed to organize and structure this information. Additionally, this publication showcases the development of knowledge-driven applications, emphasizing how semantic technologies can be leveraged to enhance decision-making processes and optimize operations within the nuclear field. Beyond providing an in-depth exploration of distributed knowledge bases, the primary objective of this publication is to offer illustrative examples of the practical applications of semantic technologies, particularly in the context of nuclear science. By presenting these case studies, readers gain a deeper understanding of the transformative potential of semantic technologies in addressing the complex challenges faced by the nuclear industry.
