- Describe the personal goals and objectives that are
driving your participation in Ontolog
My responsibility at Boeing is in the area of XML Data Interchange
which enables system interoperability and eBusiness.
I participate in several standards groups, in particular, I use the
Boeing
example to prove out the standards work and recommend improvements:
ebXML, UNCEFACT - Prove ebXML architecture, define standard
business process (BP), and core
components (CC)
supporting the business process.
Register
common BP & CC in public registry for
reuse
across industry. Boeing example
documents
is publicly available. (03)
OASIS-UBL - Define standard eBusiness documents by reusing ebXML
core components. Have completed purchase order and
purchase
order response documents. Available from OASIS
UBL site.
An example from Boeing is in work, available in
Nov. (04)
OAG (Open Application Group) - provides a set of XML documents.
Boeing
contributes to the
OAG extensions white
paper, it is
available from OAG site. (05)
AIA (Aerospace Industry Association) - moving towards XML. Applying
UDEF
to solve the
interoperability problem
between
different data element names
from
different standards. (06)
ATA (Air Transportation Association) - moving towards XML. ATA XML is
used
in the Boeing
ebXML example above. (07)
- List your areas of interest
To achieve interoperability, there needs to be a "SINGLE"
standard, however, XML language is so flexible, every
standards group creates their own. Developers needs
to continue mapping to yet to another "standard". Can
we apply ontology to align the different yet similar data
elements defined in these standards? (08)
- List any ideas that you have for discussion topics
1) The relationship and difference in ontolog, top maps, semantic
web.
2) For system interoperability, the focus is on data elements,
what is the right approach?
3) For document centric application, the focus is content,
what is the right approach? (09)
