4. questions
What is different or more challenging about the manufacturing domain?
What connections are seen with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and related “mature” disciplines?
Are the barriers to adoption domain-specific?
What say Oracle and SAP, who control global manufacturing software practices?
What are the most compelling use cases in the domain?
Do product-specific ontologies prevail? Consider that discrete vs. continuous manufacturing has evolved independently.
How does IoT play in this space; e.g., factory floor real time information flows, real time maintenance data?

5. Sap research
Via: Florian Probst (c. 2012) “SAP Research: An Industry Perspective on Semantic Technologies”
Probst walks through several use cases and prototypes, including EMS, oil & gas
Lessons learned:
Establish role for “ontology engineer”
Improved browsers for ontology editors, help, & visualization metaphors
“Ontologies are still hard to use for software engineers while the benefit is not directly obvious”
There are performance issues
Need new mechanisms for semantic annotations
Huge code base for SAP, with numerous rich use cases.
The key point of this slide is italicized.
