Course Material

The material (lecture notes and presentations) on this page are still mere drafts, and is posted here for information purposes only.

• Lecture notes for the 15926 Tutorials can be found in the svn (pdf and LaTeX).

Remaining Work

• Change template to the one found here.
• Fix text for templates
• Verify text for Property
• General layout overhaul

Module 1

An introduction to the "Data Sheet Problem", ontologies and a general overview of ISO 15926.

• Module 1 PowerPoint presentation

Module 2

Part 1. Basic semantic structure of 15926

• Module 2 - Part1 PowerPoint presentation

Important theoretical background for understanding the basic semantic structure of 15926. Also, how this theory applies to 15926. Focus is on classes, not relationship or possible_individual

• What a class is, where it is found in the 15926-2. (Diagram)
• Subsumption -> specialization
• Membership -> classification
• Difference between inclusion and membership
• Meta-classes
• Relations
  • What is a relationship
  • What is a classofrelationship
  • Why we skip relationship in the rest of this course
  • Important classOfRelationships
    • classOfCompositionOfIndividual
    • classOfIndirectProperty
• Show sample constructs in diagrams. (e.g. connect the class car and the class wheel with a classOfIndirectProperty)
• ...
• Point to templates:
  • Complex structures leads to complex implementations (in 15926)
  • Show how the temperature range is implemented (ref)

Part 2. Reference data, templates

Goal: Learn how to express basic statements in 15926 using templates Use pressure transmitter (again) as the example throughout the module.

RDS

• Show the RDS, explain how you can find RD (search, click, browse)
• Exercise:Find the particular elements in a datasheet
  • What kind of item is this data sheet describing
  • What kind of properties does this data sheet contain
  • Can you find the appropriate classes for these elements
  • (Magne had good examples for exercises)
  • Show solution

Templates

• Reiterate property range
• Show template for property range
• Modify the template example (e.g. find
• Suggest a new shorthand template, (with entity types?)
• Discuss shorthand template (This requires a very skilled lecturer ...)
