Ingresses
Session 1 - Semantic web - Needs and solutions
Integrated operations require a common Oil & Gas ontology
- Arne Sigve Nylund, Senior Vice President, StatoilHydro
StatoilHydro is a global front runner on integrated operations in the Oil & Gas industry. Sharing real time data simultaneously in operation centers offshore and onshore - some operated by the operator and some operated by service companies - requires that the industry develops and maintains a common ontology.
The need for a common defence ontology
- Major General Arnvid Løvbukten, Norwegian Defence
Application of semantic technologies and ontologies to improve key KPIs
- Kaare Finbak, IBM
IBM in cooperation with larger oil & gas and chemical companies has developed technologies and solutions that allow the companies to boost their production, reduce costs and improve HSE. The technologies and solutions apply state-of-the-art semantic technologies and ontologies developed by standardization bodies like POSC Caesar, ISA and MIMOSA. In this speech IBM's view on the effect of semantic technologies developed and yet to come will be presented, and examples of practical usage of solutions developed given.
Using the Semantic Web
- Leo Sauermann, DFKI GmbH
It is easier than expected. Exemplatory cases of applied Semantic Web in industry, research, on the web and on the desktop are presented. Source of this talk are lessons learned by the speaker himself and the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach Group (SWEO), a place to find out more.
Semantic Web application platform for mobile ecosystems
- Ora Lassila, Nokia Research Center, Cambridge
Session 2 - Defence and the defence industry - Data interoperability
Deployment of ISO 15926 in NDLO
- Rear Admiral Morten Jacobsen, Norwegian Defence Systems Management Division
Semantic interoperability in NATO
- György Kuczogi, NATO C3 Agency
Semantics in international networked information operations - Supporting situational awareness
- Johan H. Bendz, Swedish Defence Materiel Administration
Global sustainment - New roles for information management
- Michael Ross, Lockheed Martin
Session 3 - Research and development
Ontologies and databases
- Ian Horrocks, Oxford University
Database systems are of increasing importance in the development and application of ontologies. On the one hand, the increasing deployment of ontologies has revealed some interesting and subtle differences in the behaviour of ontology and database systems. On the other hand, databases are increasingly used as components of ontology systems in order to address issues such as scalability and persistence. In this talk we will examine both these issues, explore what is available today, and discuss current research trends.
Semantic interoperability services - Industrial examples
- Arne-Jørgen Berre, SINTEF
Semantic technologies provide a good foundation for solving problems related to achieving integration and interoperability between computer systems. The talk will give some industrial examples of solutions from pilot cases from various industries, such as oil&gas, automotive and aerospace worked on in the context of the European COIN (COllaboration and interoperability for Networked enterprises) project. It will show how semantic interoperability can be supported through technology neutral models, ontologies and a service oriented architecture approach.
Tool supported approaches to ontology engineering
- Jon Atle Gulla, NTNU
Ontology engineering methodologies range from traditional conceptual modelling to advanced formal specification techniques. In this presentation we discuss various approaches to ontology engineering, including tool supported methodologies for extraction of ontology structures.
Semantic services opportunities in the financial services industry
- Marcus Spies, University of Munich, Germany
The financial services industry is undergoing a radical paradigm change as national legislations and international regulations force companies towards standards in business reporting and business contract practices. These changes bring about an increasing demand for reporting structures standards (like XBRL) and the implementation of suitable services across the entire value chain. Such services can offer significant added value if semantic representations of business services, their regulations and contracts are made available to financial services applications. The talk will give some practical examples drawn from the vertical industry streams of the EU MUSING project (Multi-Industry Semantics based Business Intelligence).
Session 4 - Oil & gas - A unified ontology
Modelling, methodology and technology
- Johan Wilhelm Klüwer, Senior Specialist, DNV
This talk will present status and plans for a POSC Ceasar Special Interest Group that aims to produce methods and tools for applying the ISO 15926 standard for product modelling in the oil, gas and process industry.
Drilling and well operations
- Henning Jansen, Senior System Architect, NOV
The Drilling industry has over the years organized itself towards a series of independent services and disciplines. These individual services are collaborating in real-time to produce an overall process state for decision making. A paradigm shift in offshore work processes is taking place to meet challenges from more complex drilling scenarios, cost & risk reduction, and to accommodate for higher utilization of a decreasing workforce.
Systems integration in Drilling and Well operations is mainly focused on ad-hock application integration. A number of high-end services and specialized applications exist today, but there is still a lack of real data integration, where cross-domain utilization of data can take place.
To leverage upon an increasing amount of real-time data, and to enable higher levels of automation and autonomicity in Drilling and Well operations, data integration with semantic capabilities based on a common ontology becomes a necessity.
Reservoir and production
- Frédéric Verhelst, Epsis
IT architecture for inteegrated operations
- Einar Landre, IT advisor, StatoilHydro
Integrated operations is examples of what the literature call socio-technical systems, systems where human and technical elements are combined to achive common goals. In socio-techincal systems software is the dominant technology element, and a understanding of how the software elements relate to each other, and how they interact with the human elements is paramount for the systems success. These relationships are described by the systems architecture. Architectures based on a common reference architecture defining symbols, language and templates will simplify planning and deployment of solutions in this complex and hetrogenous environment. In this presentation the approach for an IT architecture for integrated operations will be outlined and the status of the work this far presented.
Session 5 - High tech organisations - Semantic web
Potential applications of semantic technologies for defence
- Rolf E. Rasmussen, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment
FFI's work on semantic technologies aims to evaluate how they can be utilised inmilitary applications. Of special interest is their use in providing flexible services within the information infra structure in a network based defence context.The presentation will point out what is considered as core technologies and how they can be applied. An experiment based on semantic information integration will also be presented.
Use of semantics in large scale vertical search
- Per Gunnar Auran, Yahoo! Technologies Norway
Yahoo! has many specialized seach services, e.g. verticals, like for example shopping, hotjobs, local and music search. The number of such verticals is increasing since the trend in web search the last years has beentowards specialization, i.e. to integrate high quality services with domain specific data with traditional web search. Today more than 100 Yahoo! verticals are being powered by the search platform developed in Trondheim.
In this presentation we will address how semantic technology can be applied in a way suitable for large scale search systems, and discuss some use cases.
Comparing semantic technologies - Strengths and weaknesses
- David Norheim, Computas
What are the characteristics of semantic technologies, and how can we compare them to each other? This talk will give an overview of semantic technologies, show characteristics of specific semantic technology stacks from W3C, ISO, UN and OMG, and give various ways to compare them. We will also present preliminary work on methods to assess an organization's need for semantic technologies, and what technology to consider. The talk is based on work done by various experts in the area in the context of Norstella Interop.
Towards semantic knowledge management in large organizations
- Fabio Ciravegna, University of Sheffield
Introduces challenges and semantic solutions for acquiring, sharing and applying knowledge in large organization, stressing the role of domain-specific ontologies for effective knowledge management. Real-world examples are used to illustrate ontology methods, tools and applications for handling vast amounts of technical knowledge in high-tech industries (highlights of the pre-conference tutorial).
Session 6 - Capital intensive projects - Implementation and operation
Intelligent data sets
- Magne Valen-Sendstad, DNV
The presentation will demonstrate the use of the ISO 15926 ontology in the supply chain in an oil&gas development project. The focus will be on how the ontology and related tools can be used to exchange data between proprietary data systems using the ontology as the basis for the required mappings.
Bentley's ProjectWise Data Exchange solution using an ISO 15926 Adaptive Information Model
- PhD Manoj Dharwadkar, Bentley Systems Inc
Bentley's interoperability middleware solution provides a common means of exchanging asset infra structure data between many disparate applications leading to data sharing, reliabiligy and reuse. The solution includes a Class Editor that provides an engineer friendly view of the globally maintained Work-In-Progress (WIP) ISO 15926 Reference Data using Semantic Web technologies.
Bechtel's deployment of ISO 15926
- Robin Benjamins, Bechtel
The presentation explains how Bechtel used the methodologies of ISO 15926 including Part 7 Templates and Object Information Model (OIM) constructs to meet requirements for a flexible, loose coupled integration solution. This is being deployed in the purchase order process between Bechtel's procurement and project controls systems.
PETRONAS' deployment of ISO 15926
- Wan Hassan Wan Mamat, PETRONAS
The presentation describes PETRONAS' effort in establishing a data model in compliance with ISO 15926 to facilitate management of capital project data and documentations. This initiative will form part of the overall plan towards realizing PETRONAS' vision on integrated operations.
