Enabling Traceability in Agri-Food Supply Chains Using an Ontological Approach

March 25, 2022
Author(s)
Farhad Ameri, Evan K. Wallace, Reid Yoder, Frank H. Riddick
Traceability of food products to their sources is critical for quick responses to food emergencies. US law now requires stakeholders in the agri-food supply chain to support traceability by tracking food materials they acquire and sell. However, having the

The Industrial Ontologies Foundry Proof-of-Concept Project

August 26, 2018
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Evan K. Wallace, Dimitris Kiritsis, Barry Smith, Chris Will
The current industrial revolution is said to be driven by the digitization of manu-facturing that exploits connected information across all aspects of manufacturing. Standards have been recognized as an important enabler. Ontology is the next generation

Reference Architecture for Smart Manufacturing Part 1: Functional Models

September 29, 2016
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Evan K. Wallace
This document is a part of the definition of a reference architecture for the integration of manufacturing software applications in the areas of fabrication and assembly of discrete electro- mechanical parts. This document captures, at a high level of

Mitigating Ingredient Variability Risks with Smart Manufacturing

February 18, 2016
Author(s)
Frank H. Riddick, Evan K. Wallace, Jim Davis
Managing the design of products and the efficient execution of the manufacturing processes needed to produce them is an endeavor fraught with all manner of risks for manufacturing enterprises large and small. In certain industries, such as the food

Toward Manufacturing System Composability Analysis: A Use Case Scenario

September 20, 2014
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Evan K. Wallace, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
One of the characteristics of a smart manufacturing system is the ability to quickly adapt to new and changing requirements. This implies that software and hardware components of the manufacturing system need to be easily composed and recomposed. In

NIST Workshop on Ontology Evaluation (NISTIR 7774)

April 1, 2011
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram, Conrad E. Bock, Fabian M. Neuhaus, Evan K. Wallace, Mary C. Brady, Mark Musen, Joanne Luciano
The National Institute for Standards and Technology sponsored a workshop in October, 2007, on the subject of ontology evaluation. An international group of invited experts met for two days to discuss problems in measuring ontology quality. The workshop

A Model-Driven Approach for Building OWL DL and OWL Full Ontologies

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
S Brockmans, R Colomb, P Haase, E Kendall, Evan K. Wallace, G Xie
This paper presents an approach for visually modeling OWL DL and OWL Full ontologies based on the well-established visual modeling language UML. We discuss a metamodel for OWL based on the Meta-Object Facility, an associated UML profile as visual syntax

The AMIS Approach to Systems Integration: An Overview

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Donald E. Libes, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno, David Flater, Michelle P. Steves, Evan K. Wallace, Allison Barnard Feeney
This paper is an overview of the AMIS (Automated Methods for Integrating Systems) project approach to systems integration. The objective of the AMIS project is to reduce the cost and time for software integration by devising methods, algorithms, and tools

The Challenges of Automated Methods for Integrating Systems

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Donald E. Libes, David Flater, Evan K. Wallace, Michelle P. Steves, Allison Barnard Feeney, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr.
Automated methods for integrating systems (AMIS) have been presented as a new approach to solving the dilemmas of multiple and uncoordinated standards, ontologies, legacy systems and the ever-growing cost of traditional integration. This paper explores the
