  Industry~4.0 (I4.0) standards and standardization frameworks have been
proposed with the goal of \emph{empowering interoperability} in smart
factories. These standards enable the description and interaction of the main
components, systems, and processes inside of a smart factory. Due to the
growing number of frameworks and standards, there is an increasing need for
approaches that automatically analyze the landscape of I4.0 standards.
Standardization frameworks classify standards according to their functions into
layers and dimensions. However, similar standards can be classified differently
across the frameworks, producing, thus, interoperability conflicts among them.
Semantic-based approaches that rely on ontologies and knowledge graphs, have
been proposed to represent standards, known relations among them, as well as
their classification according to existing frameworks. Albeit informative, the
structured modeling of the I4.0 landscape only provides the foundations for
detecting interoperability issues. Thus, graph-based analytical methods able to
exploit knowledge encoded by these approaches, are required to uncover
alignments among standards. We study the relatedness among standards and
frameworks based on community analysis to discover knowledge that helps to cope
with interoperability conflicts between standards. We use knowledge graph
embeddings to automatically create these communities exploiting the meaning of
the existing relationships. In particular, we focus on the identification of
similar standards, i.e., communities of standards, and analyze their properties
to detect unknown relations. We empirically evaluate our approach on a
knowledge graph of I4.0 standards using the Trans$^*$ family of embedding
models for knowledge graph entities. Our results are promising and suggest that
relations among standards can be detected accurately.
