Wed Breakout Sessions
Time | Breakout 1 | Breakout 2 |
---|---|---|
13:30 - 15:30 | IOF Architecture WG Meeting Organizers: Will Sobel Synopsis: The IOF Architecture WG Meeting covers the changes in the IOF development process, focusing on the high-level workflow and management of ontologies in source control (GitHub). The Architecture WG made progress in defining the rules for what constitutes a domain ontology, a module, and a sub-domain ontology to inform content organization when developing ontologies and achieve consistent structure across all working groups. The meeting will also cover changes made to the annotation vocabulary, how those changes impact the development processes, and how those changes need to be incorporated into existing ontologies. The ontology community has not adequately addressed many of these issues, so the IOF is doing some green field work specifying the rules and procedures for normative ontology development. | Ontology for Additive Manufacturing (AM) Organizers: Yan Lu, Shengyen Li, Lisha White (NIST) Synopsis: Despite its rapid interest, the use of models and simulations, which is critical in the era of digital twin (DT), remains a challenge for AM development. Currently, there is a lack of methods for characterizing digital twin models and computation technology to meet various requirements of AM decision makings. Thus, this session opens the conversation on how to potentially use ontology to achieve “fit-for-purpose” DT development and deployment for AM and start discussing notions related to modeling and simulation, and DT composition in the context of AM.

Break: 15:30 - 16:00 | ||
16:00 - 18:00 | Supply Chain Ontology Tutorial Organizer: Farhad and Ali Synopsis: This session will feature hands-on exercise in utilizing the supply chain ontology for a supply chain use case. | Product Service Systems Working Group Meeting Organizers: Ana Correia (ATB Bremen) Synopsis: The session will present the PSS-Pass project (http://www.pss-pass.eu) where we are creating Digital Passports for Product Service Systems in 3 industrial pilots (in different manufacturing sectors). This session will continue to discuss terms and plans to release the first version of the product service systems ontology. Bill of Materials and related notions will be discussed.

Issues will be collected in advance. | Reasoning with Machine Learning Lifecycle Ontology Organizers: Perawit, Hakju Oh, and Ana Nicolov (NIST) Synopsis: This session will present the need and use cases for a Machine Learning Lifecycle Ontology (MLLO). Then, an overview of MLLO will be given. The audience will be walked through a hands-on tutorial on using the Machine Learning Lifecycle Explorer (MLLE) system. MLLE is a NIST-developed open-source tool for interacting with MLLO data, which aims to aid ML model understanding and reuse. Session chairs are working on an additional scenario to be included in the tutorial in order to demonstrate how MLLO may expedite ML development tasks such as feature selection. |

11:20 - 13:00 | Visualizing Ontology in UML-Like Diagram with Opensource Tools Organizers: Arkopaul Sarkar and Evan Wallace (NIST) Synopsis: This session will go over a PlantUML pattern developed in the IOF for visualizing, brainstorming, and documenting OWL ontology and axioms. The audience will be guided through an exercise to use the pattern on some ontology expressions of their choice. A software tool is being develop to render OWL using the PlantUML pattern and the session may include a tutorial on such tool. | IOF Core/CCO Mapping Workshop Synopsis: This session will discuss the relationship and potential mechanical linkage between CCO and IOF Core ontologies. | Aerospace Industry Roundtable Organizers: Rebeca Arista (Airbus), Jim Logan (OAGi IOF/Ontogenesis) Synopsis: This is an invitation only session. Please contact Jim Logan if you are interested in joining. In this session, Rebeca will present her vision about IOF ontology use to support Airbus' missions.
