Semantic Model Working Party (SMWP) OpenSG EIM Outreach Stephan Amsbary, Technical Champion – EnerNex Jay Britton, Co-Lead – Alstom T&D Marty Burns, Collaborator– HyperTek Steve Ray, Co-Lead – CMU 2012.March.01

SMWP Goal – Industry Perspective Fundamentally data is described via data models Need crisp definition for data models across and within standards Emphasis Identify semantic/ontological issues facing interoperability/data management What is keeping you awake at night? How are you addressing them? Identify tools and methodologies to solve these issues – alter trajectory How are you doing it today? Simplify discovery, overlaps, gaps & consistency within and between standards

OpenSG - EIM Framework Current SMWP Focus Areas Anticipated Vision & Strategy Governance EIM Core Processes Organization Tools & Technologies Vision Mission Strategy Goals & Objectives Sponsorship Stewardship Policies, Principles & Tenets Alignment Structure Data Quality Data Integrity Data Security & Protection Data Lifecycle Management Data Movement Semantics Management Database Management Master Data Management Information Services (A&R) Services & Support Value Propositions CSFs & KPIs Structure (Virtual, Hybrid, …) Roles & Responsibilities Functional Services Business Value & Relationship Management Information Architecture Blueprint Management Technologies (DBMS, CMS, ETL, EAI, EII, Data Modeling, BI/DW, Collaboration) Knowledgebase & Repositories Standards & Best Practices Current SMWP Focus Areas Anticipated SMWP Focus Areas Source: OpenSG EIM Task Force Presentation – 2011.July

SMWP Approach – Request for Help Identify and prioritize concerns Relate those concerns to semantics that might help Present a conceptual use case to illustrate issues Validate and enrich use case based upon feedback for March SGIP face-to-face Meeting in Charlotte Contribute to SMWP direction and goals Increase utility and solution providers’ perspective

Demand Response Pricing Use Case Example Operations SCADA/EMS DRACS CIMs Market Market Management OpenADR Service Provider DR Enrollment/ rules Customer IEC61850SEP2.0 … Premise Automation System Device

SMWP Tools/Methods Research Align research with topic areas of concern Use key real world examples - as defined by the industry Demonstrate how tools would tackle and solve these issues Understand approaches/technologies being pursued within the industry (utilities, other standards bodies and vendors) Ongoing exploration of Semantic Technologies eg: OWL, SPARQL, SWRL, &c. by Steve Ray at CMU (funded by NIST) Assist in standards harmonization analysis Provide/assist data provenance and quality issue Complement industry use of UML

Does this make sense? Work on a use case that is relevant (example used earlier)? Align vocabularies Capture relationships and constraints Create mappings among standards Use Semantic Technology to document resulting taxonomy/ontology Can your company and OpenSG EIM help? Suggested next steps – eg: SMWP participation in OpenSG EIM calls and meetings? What is missing?

Proposed Procedure Goal to publish on SGIP Catalogue of Standards (CoS) Similar to SGAC Conceptual Architecture activities http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SmartGridArchitectureCommittee Schedule tiger team work sessions, comprised of: SGAC, EIM members Standards Development and Setting Organizations (SDOs & SSOs), NIST SGIP Priority Action Plan (PAP) Members Volunteers from SGIP, SGAC from industry (OpenSG) Follow current SGIP CoS Procedure
