2. Knowledge Engineering – Problem Context 15 different product definitions 17 different application systems creating design, regulatory, and production data 100’s of change requests monthly Tribal knowledge about product design and process design not captured anywhere 2

3. Opportunities for Improvement How do we reduce the complexity? How do we promote consistency? How do we foster collaborative sharing of data and knowledge? How do we get an integrated view of process and product data across the product life cycle? 3

7. Semantic Data for Relational Example m:Equipment :Equipment_E02363 rdf:type :equipmentID E02363 :inspectedBy :Person_103546 :inspectionDate 01/10/2013 m:Document :Document_D8946 rdf:type D8946 :authoredBy :Person_jmathis :creationDate 06/15/2012 :documentID m:Employee :Person_103546 rdf:type 103546 :employeeName Joe Mathis :networkID jmathis :employeeID 7

8. Inference Rule Example CONSTRUCT { ?emp2 rdf:type m:Employee. ?emp2 owl:sameAs ?emp1 } WHERE { ?emp1 rdf:type m:Employee. ?emp1 m:networkID ?netID. BIND (URI (CONCAT (“http://KE/Data/SEM#”, “Person_”, ?netID)) AS ?emp2) }“http://KE/Data/SEM# m:Employee :Person_103546 rdf:type :networkID jmathis :Person_jmathis owl:sameAs rdf:type :employeeName Joe Mathis With OWL Inferencing: SELECT ?name WHERE { :Document_D8946 :authoredBy ?author { ?author :employeeName ?name } Results in: name Joe Mathis 8

RDF Triples from D2RQ Mapping - Purchasing Database p:Material_Colorant_Pink rdf:type p:RawMaterial p:Material_Colorant_Pink p:materialName “Colorant-Pink” p:Material_Colorant_Pink p:hasMaterialType p:MaterialType_Colorant p:Material_Colorant_Pink p:hasSupplier p:Supplier_S1 p:Material_Wrapper_Silver rdf:type p:RawMaterial p:Material_Wrapper_Silver p:materialName “Wrapper-Silver” p:Material_Wrapper_Silver p:hasMaterialType p:MaterialType_Wrapper p:Material_Wrapper_Silver p:hasSupplier p:Supplier_S4 ……………………………. p:Supplier_S1 rdf:type p:Supplier p:Supplier_S1 p:supplierID “S1” p:Supplier_S1 p:supplierName “Acme” p:Supplier_S4 rdf:type p:Supplier p:Supplier_S4 p:supplierID “S4” p:Supplier_S4 p:supplierName “Lotus Inc.” …………………………… p:MaterialType_Colorant rdf:type p:MaterialType p:MaterialType_Colorant rdfs:label “Colorant” p:MaterialType_Wrapper rdf:type p:MaterialType p:MaterialType_Wrapper rdfs:label “Wrapper” ……………………………. Question: How do we link the materials from Purchasing to Manufacturing? 13

14. Data Traceability is Critical Ability to link any item used in an application to the exact data source all the way downstream – use of ‘hasDataSource’ property for every instance created Linking of data occurs in two levels, across the product genealogy (horizontal and business driven), and across the system layers (vertical and technology driven) Semantic relationships between concepts should be defined properly and maintained to reflect changes in underlying source systems Important to keep non-validated data in their own models (semantic graphs) especially in a regulated environment Specific verification / validation steps to be performed when new applications are brought on board using the semantic layer 14

15. Conclusion / Takeaways Ontological modeling of enterprise data stored in conventional databases is the first and crucial step Augmenting the model with rules adds more power to the inferencing capabilities of the model Annotation properties (rdfs:label, rdfs:comment, rdfs:seeAlso, etc.) can also be used to add semantic meaning to the data D2RQ provides a flexible mapping language and a set of tools to enable the conversion of relational data to RDF triples Judicious use of owl:sameAs helps in linking instances that are the same but from different sources Critical to ensure data traceability (also called data provenance) which has to be planned for in the model and when data is loaded into the database 15
