When copying and pasting data between applications using the operating system clipboard, the semantics of the transfered information is usually lost. Using Semantic Web technologies these semantics can be explicitly defined in a machine process-able way. In previous research we developed a prototype to show the feasibility and benefits from a semantic enriched clipboard, that was limited to the number of ontologies it could handle or application that could access it. In this paper we introduce an advanced architecture for the Semantic Clipboard that incorporates the standard communication paradigm of operating system clipboards and is able to handle RDF graphs of arbitrary domains of interest. This architecture includes a data mediation service that overcomes vocabulary heterogeneities between source and target applications.
