Digitalisation
Digitalisation is a strategic and prioritised research area for all of SINTEF. Our contribution to this important field through an interdisciplinary team at SINTEF is in the field of interoperability.
Interoperability involves developing computer languages that cause two or more systems to exchange information through a common representation system to perform complex tasks that cannot be performed by each system alone. In a series of projects covering several disciplines, SINTEF contributes to the development and utilization of a common framework of components for interoperability. This includes a technology stack that covers:
- creation of domain ontologies to ensure a common language
- a framework for semantic interoperability and
- a framework for documenting and accessing data resources, including translations between data models and ontological concepts, performing data transformations, and filtering the data.
In total, this provides a complete toolkit for proper documentation of data.
A selection of tools for semantic interoperability can be found below:
Projects:
- OpenModel - Integrated Open Access Materials Modelling Innovation Platform for Europe
- OntoCommons - Ontology-driven data documentation for Industry Commons
- OntoTrans - Ontology driven Open Translation Environment
- VIPCOAT - Virtual Open Innovation Platform for Active Protective Coatings Guided by Modelling and Optimization
