IOF for Digital Thread Tutorial

Organizers: Dusan Sormaz (Ohio University)

Presentations: Slides | Handout

Synopsis: This tutorial will walk the participants through how to use IOF ontology constructs to capture information about digital artifacts and physical artifacts (information about physical product, process, and their relationships). Participants will create individuals and properties based on provided example data about requirement, design, plan, simulation/digital twin model, as-manufactured product, as-used product, as-maintained product, etc. Example reasoning and queries may also be exercised.

Enterprise Integration Governance with OAGi Connect Tutorial

Organizers: Hakju Oh (NIST), Michael Figura (OAGi), Josh Ki (Lockheed Martin)

Synopsis: Focus on BIE reuse and BIE package?

IOF Core Tutorial
Organizers: Jim Logan (OAGi) and Arkopaul Sarkar (NIST)

Synopsis: Hands-on tutorial about how to download IOF ontologies, instantiate ontology with data, specific use case that use Allen Algebra will be used. Time permitted, this tutorial will also include exercise for using IOF value expression and QUDT, reasoning, and SPARQL.

Biomanufacturing Ontology Tutorial
Organizers: Milos (NIST) and Roger/Adlane (NIST)

Synopsis:

Application Ontology Development and Deployment or Ontology Mapping Tutorial

Organizers: ???

Synopsis: ???

Material Science and Engineering (MSE) Tutorial

Organizers: Alexandru Tudor (DIN Software), Thomas Hanke (Fraunhofer), Shengyen Li (NIST)

Synopsis: The organizers will lead you through a hands-on use case on using the MSE ontology for material characterization. Time permitted, linking material characterization to process improvements such as in additive manufacturing may be introduced.

Draft formalization of material states

• Arkopaul Sarkar (ENIT)

Presentation of the proposed formalization of material state and state transitions supported by a set of use case scenarios.

Preliminary demonstration of process model to IOF ontology correspondence

• Arkopaul Sarkar (ENIT)

• Milos Drobnjakovic (NIST)

• Jim Logan (Dassault Systèmes)

Replicate an activity diagram with IOF ontologies and demonstrate the correspondence of the ontological representation to the activity diagram.

IOF Core Ontology roadmap

Brief recap of the completed and ongoing work followed by a working, interactive session that will determine the development priorities and outline the development timeline.

AM Monitoring and Control Use Case

Ontology of future entities and digital artifacts

• Dusan Sormaz (Ohio University)

Ontologizing various types of models and specifications such that their correspondence to reality as well as implicit connections are captured. Representing models and specifications - the challenges of OWL modeling with abstract entities

Theory of Planning

• Arkopaul Sarkar (ENIT)

PPS WG ontology roadmap

• Dusan Sormaz (Ohio University)

Discussion

Topics: Digital artifacts, Information Content Entities, Relationships between Record, Requirement, Specification, Order, Status, Roadmap

Notions of Requirement and Specification are already in IOF Core. There is a proposal for Record from Maintenance Working Group. Other typical information entities are Order and Status. What are relationships between these entities. Is Record just has other ICEs as part? Expected outcome is a refine roadmap for the PPS WG.

Reasoner

• Melinda Hodkiewicz (University of Western Australia)

• Johan Kluwer (DNV)

Problem:

• As we start to deal with industry data sets, we are going to need reasoners that can handle reasoning as data scales.

• Where is the ‘parallel reasoner’?

• There has been no new reasoning software of any significance for almost a decade.

• Hermit was last updated in 2017 and there is limited ongoing maintenance and support.

• We are not seeing any benefits from developments in IT/LLM in the reasoner space.

• There have been new developments such as RDFox, and while this is welcome and does many things well, it does not derive equivalences between classes which is important to identify duplication (e.g. in industry catalogs).

Paper that substantiates some of the above.

Discussion: Is this an area that IOF-IDO-NIST-EU-KGA and others can collaborate on?

Ontological Development Process

• Evan Wallace (NIST)

Tour of the proposed IOF ontology development process and tools.

Versioning, IRI, Deprecation

Development, implementation, and testing tools

• Stephen Kahmann (Crown Point Technologies)

• Adlance Rebai (Merck MilliporeSigma)

Summary from the Toolkit working session earlier in the day and may be call for a new TG and participation.
