Ontology of future entities and digital artifacts

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?

09:45 - 10:25

Ontological Development Process

  • Evan Wallace (NIST)

Tour of the proposed IOF ontology development process and tools.

10:25 - 10:55

Versioning, IRI, Deprecation

Deprecation and moving refactoring. Introduce semantic versioning? How to use IRI subtopic? Industry Council IRI?

Break, lunch, attend other sessions: 11:00 - 16:00

16:00 - 16:30

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.
