They are about the same thing, fundamentally.

Our challenge remains getting narrative control back from buzzwords, by
actually putting the power of Ontologies and Linked Open Data to full
practical use [1]. Why? Because these buzzwords are making a mockery of
technology advances over the last 40+ years, they continuously mask
prior and existing technology advances for all the wrong reasons e.g.,
creating the illusion of unique insights into a problem spectrum by
technically inept marketeers.
