Standards should be an instrumental part of forming a basis to enable seamless interoperability, yet there is no clear support for global production networks. This paper sets out a reference ontology for global production networks being developed as a basis for interoperability between systems, with the potential for it to be developed as a standard.

Creating complex learning scenarios by developers is highly time-consuming and can take over a year. It is also costly to employ teams of system analysts, developers and 3D artists. There is a requirement to provide a simple method to enable lecturers to create their own content for their laboratory tutorials. Research has been undertaken into developing generic models to enable the semi-automatic creation of a virtual learning tools for subjects that require practical interactions with the lab resources. In addition to the system for creating digital twins, a case study describing the creation of a virtual learning application for an electrical laboratory tutorial has been presented.

It arises from a research project, ENLIVEN – Encouraging Lifelong Learning for an Inclusive and Vibrant Europe (2016-2019), funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, which focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to influencing policy formation. An evaluation of a local employment support service for young people unemployed for 12 months or more was undertaken by computer and social scientists within ENLIVEN. Two data mining approaches were utilised: proximity to the labour market indicator analysis and decision tree analysis of programme participant employment outcomes. An important question considered was whether the decision tree analysis would support anecdotal experience from local practitioners which indicated the relevance of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to their work within the context of the most vulnerable young people. It was found by decision ...

Research paper thumbnail of Towards a formal manufacturing reference ontology

International Journal of Production Research, 2013

ABSTRACT Due to the advancement in the application of Information and Communication Technology (I... more ABSTRACT Due to the advancement in the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), manufacturing industry and its many domains employ a wide range of different ICT tools. To be competitive, industries need to communicate effectively within and across their many system domains. This communication is hindered by the diversity in the semantics of concepts and information structures of these different domain systems. Whilst international standards provide an effective route to information sharing within narrowly specified domains, they are themselves not interoperable across the wide range of application domains needed to support manufacturing industry due to the inconsistency of concept semantics. Formal ontologies have shown promise in removing interpretation problems by computationally capturing the semantics of concepts, ensuring their consistency and thus providing a verifiable and shared understanding across multiple domains. The research work reported in this paper contributes to the development of formal reference ontology for manufacturing, which is envisaged as a key component in future interoperable manufacturing systems. A set of core manufacturing concepts are identified and their semantics have been captured in formal logic based on exploiting and extending existing standards’ definitions, where possible combined with an industrial investigation of the concepts required. A successful experimental investigation has been conducted to verify the application of the ontology based on the interaction between concepts in the design and manufacturing domains of an aerospace component.
