Agenda Topic

Speaker

Description

IOF Quality Ontology Update

Alexandru Todor (DIN Software)

This talk will provide updates about the quality ontology being worked on in the IOF Material Science and Engineering WG.

Smart Standard

Alexandru Todor (DIN Software)

This talk will describe the smart standard initiative which aims that setting a new standard for standard by encoding it using ontology for enhancing clarity, semantic precision, and testability.

Ontology in Industry

Stephen Kahman (CrownPoint Technology)

Pharmaceutical Industry Chemical, Manufacturing and Control Ontology Standard Effort

Lifecycle Assessment Ontology

Stephen Granite (CrownPoint Technology) and Ana Nikolov (NIST)

This talk will explore how ontologies can enhance life cycle analysis for biomanufacturing processes.

IOF Ontology Pattern

Arkopaul Sarkar (NIST), Jim Logan (OAGi IOF / Ontogenesis), Milos Drobnjakovic (NIST)

This talk will describe the detail of the first release of the IOF Ontology Patterns.

Data and Ontology project at NIIMBL

Roger Hart (NIIMBL) and Stephen Wing (Merck MilliporeSigma)

This talk will describe the current plan for data schema and ontology standard development driven by the needs in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

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

Organizers: Yan Lu, Shengyen Li, Lisha White (NIST)

Synopsis: This session will discussion notions covering ontology for simulation, service composition, and additive manufacturing. The use cases are driven by digital twin composition to enhance additive manufacturing quality.

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: This session will discuss terms and plans to release the first version of the product service systems ontology. Bill of Materials and related notions will be discussed.

BFO Tutorial

Organizers: Barry Smith (University at Buffalo) and Jim Logan (OAGi IOF / Ontogenesis)

Synopsis: The first hour will give general introduction to BFO, aimed at newcomers. The second hour will address issues that people are having with BFO. 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.

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
Organizers: Ali Hasanzadeh (Arizona State University) and John Beverly (University at Buffalo)

Synopsis: This session will discuss the relationship and potential mechanical linkage between CCO and IOF Core ontologies.

Core Working Group/Patterns Meeting

Organizers: Arkopaul Sarkar (NIST), Jim Logan (OAGi IOF / Ontogenesis), Milos Drobnjakovic (NIST)
