Semantic interoperability to solve industrial challenges in the OntoTrans project

The OntoTrans EU project aims at providing an ontology-based Open Translation Environment. Its Artificial Intelligence approach enables end users to represent in a standard ontological form their manufacturing process challenges and to connect them with relevant information sources and materials modelling solutions, capable to support optimal materials and process design.

A key component for the realization of this objective is the development of a semantic interoperability framework. Two main components have been developed:

• DLite: to efficiently manipulate data based on semantic data models
• OTEAPI: to design pipeline and strategies for data access and transformation

This presentation will introduce the philosophy behind the OntoTrans project and demonstrate the inner workings of the semantic interoperability applied to industrial cases.
