Presentation Transcript

  1. Harmonization of Sensor Standards in Semantic Wikis: Sensor Standards Harmonization Working Group Meeting Brand L. Niemann (US EPA), Co-Chair, Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) Best Practices Committee (BPC), Federal CIO Council June 26, 2007, Actual Presentation and October 16, 2007 Demonstrations

  2. Commentary • The advantage of going last is commenting on all that has gone before! • Some wisdom: • “Strive for a wise balance between working locally and working globally” and “The Semantic Web (really Data Web) is about data reuse and not disrupting existing applications”: • Sir Tim Berners-Lee at June 18-19th Workshop: • http://www.w3.org/2007/Talks/0618-egov-tbl/

  3. Outline • 1. The Broader Challenge: • Integrate Sensor and Non-Sensor Data in a Decision Support Network: See Best Practice Examples Next • 2. Best Practice Examples: • Brief Story Number 1 from February 27, 2007 • New Story from April 25, 2007 • New Story from June 12-13, 2007 • 3. SSHWG History: • See handout of your knowledgebase. • 4. The Modular Ontology Approach: • More Details on Methods and Requirements • 5. Demonstrations: • Request for October 16th Work Group Meeting

  4. 2. Best Practice Example:Brief Story Number 1 from February 27, 2007 • Quote: • “ES3N A Semantic Approach to Data Management in Sensor Networks :”, describes an application of ontology technology within an architecture for processing sensors that monitor conditions in grain and storage silos. The authors show that historical and streaming sensor measurements can be combined to support expressive SPARQL queries over data modelled in OWL and stored as RDF files.” • Proceedings of the Semantic Sensor Network Workshop, November 6, 2006, Website: http://www.ict.csiro.au/ssn06/ • My Comment: This appears to be the state-of-the-art!

  5. 2. Best Practice Example:New Story from April 25, 2007 • Integrating Sensor and Non-Sensor Data in a Decision Support Network: Health Informatics • Parsa Mirhaji, MD, Director, The Center for Biosecurity and Public Health Informatics Research, The School of Health Information Sciences, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and Robert Coyne, TopQuadrant: • http://colab.cim3.net/file/work/SICoP/2007-04-25/PMirhaji04252007.ppt • See Texas Health Center Taps Semantic Web: • http://govhealthit.com/article97848-03-07-07-Web • $50 M follow-on project from Department of the Army!

  6. 2. Best Practice Example:New Story from June 12-13, 2007 • Workshop on Nanoinformatics Strategies, June 12-13, 2007: • Information Sharing Environment: • Locate: Nanoinformatics COLAB Wiki Pilot: • http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NanoinformaticsStrategiesWorkshop_2007_06_1213 • Collaborate: Nanoinformatics Semantic Wiki Pilot: • http://www.visualknowledge.com/wiki/Nanoinformatics • Integrate: Nanoiformatics 2007 Knowledgebase Pilot: • http://web-services.gov/lpBin22/lpext.dll/Folder21/Infobase13/1?fn=main-j.htm&f=templates&2.0

  8. 4.

  11. 4.3 What is DRM 3.0 and Web 3.0? Semantic Wikis: The Role of Techno-Social Collaboration in Building DRM 3.0 and Web 3.0 for Managing Context Across Multiple Documents and Organizations, SICOP Special Conference, February 6, 2007, Mills Davis, Project10X.

  12. 4.4 What is the Modular Ontology Approach? • (1) Define the Modules: • Have Kang Lee’s Two Diagrams: • Sensor Standards Harmonization • Sensor Standard Harmonization Using Ontology? • (2) Provide Broader Context to Connect Modules: • See next slide and get help from the NCOIC SI WG. • (3) Methods and Tools for (1) and (2)

  13. 4.4 What is the Modular Ontology Approach?Methodology: Broader Context • Concept: Environment • measured by • Concept: Sensors • that generate • Concept: Data • that are transferred by • Concept: Networks • that contain • Concept: Nodes • that provide • Concept: Services • that support • Concept: Decisions

  14. 4.4 What is the Modular Ontology Approach? • (3a) Methods: • Subject Matter Experts and Their Trusted Reference Knowledge Sources • Use (2) and (3) • Iterate • (3b) Requirements: • Supports the way people work (word processing) • Scalable (semantics by more than just ontologists) • Supports Semantic Web standards (distributed, but connectable applications)
