A number of components of a more meaningful semantic web are already in existence. These include terminology resources, metadata, web services and registries of various kinds. This paper will explore the current and future of the interplay of these components as they contribute to a more meaningful web. Examples and lessons learned will be drawn from the ecoinformatics community, in particular the Ecoterm and SPIRE (Semantic Prototypes in Research Informatics) projects. |

The use of ISO 13584 Parts Library Standard (PLIB) in Industrial Applications |
|
Hiroshi Murayama, Toshiba, Japan |
|
This presentation covers the use of ISO 13584 Parts Library Standard (PLIB) in industrial applications. It draws from a number of existing Japanese use cases, e.g. the ECALS dictionary of electronic components, the JEMIMA dictionary, etc. These use cases could be an opportunity for the exchange of information between the Engineering, Metadata Registry, and Terminology communities with the result of getting a better understanding of each other and facilitating a collaboration in the future. |

Keynote: Semantic Computing and Standard Data Category Registry |

An extension of Semantic Web, Semantic Computing is a new endeavor in information technology for people and computers to share the semantics of information content. Sharing of the meaning of various content including text, video, and software will not only allow computers to systematically provide services meaningful to people but also allow lay people to understand and manipulate the design of computer systems. Ontologies are a basis of this sharing, and standard linguistic data category registries are necessary to develop such ontologies to account for documents. The talk will outline Semantic Computing in relation to the development of semantic data category registries in ISO/TC37/SC4/TDG3.

Metadata Registry for Intelligent Transportation Systems/ Transport Information and Control Systems |
|
11:30 -- 12:00 |
|
Ian Cornwell, Mott MacDonald Ltd. United Kingdom |
|
The presentation describes both technical research and practical experience with a growing operational registry in the domain of Intelligent Transport System/Transport Information and Control Systems (ITS/TICS). The registry has now emerged from R&D trials into a one-year pilot phase to demonstrate business benefits in a wider range of business areas. The registry structure is based on UML, with a suite of import tools based on XMI. The registry process comes from ISO 14817, a registry standard based on ISO/IEC 11179. Ideas from ebXML Core Components are used to actively harmonise across multiple overlapping submissions from legacy systems. |

Cancer Data Standards Repository (caDSR), |
|
12:00 -- 12:30 |
|
Denise Warzel National Cancer Institute, USA |
|
The NCICB has a broad initiative to support biomedical informatics semantic interoperability through the use of a core infrastructure called Cancer Ontologic Environment (caCORE) The NCI’s metadata repository, the caDSR is part of caCORE and forms the basis for registering metadata items through a harmonization of 3 metadata models: Unified Modeling Language (UML), NCI Thesaurus, and the ISO 11179.The semantics are anchored using immutable concept codes.The caCORE Software Developer Toolkit (SDK) provides a means by which cancer researchers can develop applications that take advantage of the infrastructure, producing semantically integrated and interoperable data services, analytic services and analytic tools. This session will describe the caCORE infrastructure, NCI’s approach to semantic interoperability and caCORE SDK.

Exploring the application of ISO 11179 to the ECCMA Open Technical Dictionary (eOTD) |
|
Gerald Radack, Convener of TC184/SC4 WG3, Product Modeling Concurrent Technologies Corp., USA |
|
Work is underway to explore the application of ISO 11179 to the Electronic Commerce Code Management Association (ECCMA) Open Technical Dictionary (eOTD). The eOTD will be registered under ISO 22745, a standard being developed within TC184/SC4 to define the requirements for Open Technical Dictionaries. The eOTD is a collection of terminology from consensus organizations designed to support a central, public domain dictionary of cataloging concepts used to create unambiguous, language independent descriptions of individuals, organizations, locations, goods, and services. The eOTD contains property names and definitions that are the key to creating unambiguous descriptions. Essentially, every person, organization, location, and all goods and services can be described using property-value pairs. These “data labels” are the properties that are defined in the eOTD. Good progress is being made on 22745 and the eOTD has evolved considerably, particularly as a vehicle for free open resolution of terminology and as a tool for terminology harmonization. The eOTD effort is working with 11179 as the metadata registry model and has been working with TC37 to refine some of the terminology representation. There are now some wide-scale implementations of the eOTD in the mining industry, NATO is promoting it as their bridge to industry, it is being incorporated into the DoD EMALL and Boeing is promoting it in the aerospace industry, so the eOTD is making steady progress. |

Extensible MMFI4Onto for Ontology Management in Semantic Web Service |
|
15:30 -- 16:00 |
|
WANG Chong, HE Keqing, HE Yangfan, State Key Laboratory of Software Engineering, Wuhan University, China |
|
Ontology is the key issue to annotate semantics and provide communicational foundation for various resources on web. MMFI4Onto has been proposed as a common facility to register ontology and promote interoperation between them. Further extension based on MMFI4Onto enables registration of process ontology for web services in semantic web. Extensible MMFI4Onto can coordinate with other registry mechanisms and fulfill management of resources on semantic web. |

A Multi-Metamodel Approach to Metadata Repository Implementation |
|
Baba Piprani, SICOM, Ginette Levesque Hansma, OSFI, Canada |
|
The use case implementation of a metadata repository at the Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, discusses how several metamodels were defined for the collection of metadata from each of the business area of interest. The metadata from the areas of interest include data models, application database schemas, DW database schemas, ETL tool schemas, ETL mappings, BI schemas document management schemas etc. The use case demonstrates how several standards like IS 11179, IS 19763, CWM and XMI were used to define the procurement and selection of a metadata repository, and, in the subsequent steps taken to practically implement the metadata repository. |
