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.

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.

Application Ontology Development and Deployment Tutorial

Organizers: Stephen Kahmann (Crown Point Technologies)

Synopsis: This tutorial will provide a hands-on experience for extending an IOF reference ontology to solve an application-specific use case. Steps include defining the use case objectives, evaluating support within existing IOF ontologies, developing an application ontology extension, mapping data into a knowledge graph, and visualizing the results.

Lunch: 12:00 - 13:00 (Turquoise Ballroom)

13:00 - 15:00

IOF Maintenance Ontology Tutorial

Organizers: Melinda Hodkiewicz (University of Western Australia)

Synopsis: Example maintenance use cases will be outlined. Attendees will be instantiating IOF Maintenance Reference Ontology based on the example use cases and build queries. Melinda will provide a brief overview of the development process used by the Maintenance team, run through an OWLREADY process to build and add data to the ontology and run a query and finally run through an NLP to KG pipeline to extract entities and relations from unstructured engineering texts at scale using LLM.

Tutorial resources

IOF Core Tutorial
Organizers: Milos Drobnjakovic (NIST) and Arkopaul Sarkar (ENIT)

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.

Enterprise Integration with OAGi Connect Tutorial

Organizers: Scott Nieman (Land O'Lakes) and Michael Figura (OAGi)

Presentations: Scott

Synopsis: This tutorial will show participants how the OAGi connectSpec standard, along with the connectCenter management software, can revolutionize the speed and agility of modern enterprise integration projects. We’ll walk through a real-world project with multiple team members, beginning with the problem definition, requirements gathering and analysis phases, and show hand-offs of real work between team members. We’ll cycle through the various project stages from analysis and development to testing and production approval. We’ll version control our assets, and show how minimal coding is required in a code-gen world. This presentation will show the future of now. Don’t miss it!

Break: 15:00 - 15:30

15:30 - 17:30

BFO Q&A Session

Organizers: Barry Smith (NCOR) and John Beverley (NCOR)

Slido link for posting questions

NSF Supply Chain Open Knowledge Network

Organizers: Farhad Ameri (Arizona State University) and Hyunwoong Ko (Arizona State University)

Synopsis: In this session, an overview of NSF funded Open Knowledge Network (OKN) for manufacturing supply chain will be given. We will be collecting feedbacks from industry participants and outline our plan to develop such an open knowledge network.

Biopharmaceutical Use Cases

Organizers: Roger Hart (NIIMBL)

Synopsis: In this session, the result of use case survey will be presented. Discussion to arrive at a common understanding and priority of those use cases will be conducted.

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
