Notes

Johan: 4D does not work with OWL DL. Is IOF tied to OWL DL?

Todd: IOF intends to use at least OWL and CL, and not necessary limit to these two.

Potential clusters of use cases

Maintenance planning (any industry specific?) (Melinda)

Possible ontology modules

Process plan/maintenance plan

Time

Units

Resource/Equipment/Asset

Topology/Geolocation

Production planning and scheduling of discrete manufacturing (Dusan, Peter, Walter)

Supply chain (Farhad Ameri)

Product/Process requirement

Organization/Agent

Could we agree on which module which group will focus on?

How do we deal with modules needed by a group that is to be produced by another group.

Could we agree on a common starting point for some of these modules?
