Engineering Semantics is focused on applying semantic technologies to engineering and its practices.
Engineering Semantics participates in
- Industrial Ontology Foundry
- International Association for Ontology and its Application
- Semantic Technologies for Systems Engineering
P.S. Did you notice the (intentional) ambiguity in our name?
In engineering there are multiple communication paths used during the engineering process and across a systems lifecycle, including:
-
People -to- People using natural language
-
People -to- Machines using natural language translated (potentially lossy) to (one or more) formal languages
-
Machines -to- Machines: using formal languages, perhaps with translations
-
People -to- Machines -to- People: natural language to formal language and back to natural language with translations
Semantic technologies can aid in these communication paths. Starting with simple things like a glossary that provides a natural language representation of the notions and terminology used by your team, together with clear and well constructed definitions. Extending to the use of natural language processing and formal representations in an ontology coupled with reasoners.
