EqHub
This will be a joint Semantic Days and EqHub session.
This session is open for both participants of Semantic Days and participants of the EqHub conference.
More information about the content in this session will be posted on EqHub’s website at a later stage.
NB! This session will run until 16:00

JORD (Joint Operational Reference Data) Project
Interoperable use of ISO15926 depends on resolvable Reference Data. The JORD project is enhancing the existing PCA RDS in partnership with FIATECH to ensure scalable, sustainable and reliable reference data services. As well as providing upgraded triple-store-based library system, core content and management tools, the project is also delivering the methodology by which asset information is mapped to ISO15926 reference data and template patterns, and the procedures by which compliance is validated. This session will provide an update on the project scope and deliverables, and will also provide an opportunity to review the triple-store prototype, and work through the latest methodology. (Subject to demand, the session will run until 16:00 )

Integrated real-time environmental monitoring in the oil and gas industry(Statoil, Kongsberg, DNV, IBM)
Based on the challenges from the presentation given in the reporting session (Semantic challenges in environmental monitoring), we will explore different ontologies from the oil and gas domain together with ontologies from other domains, as well as how these ontologies can be used together in the real-time environmental monitoring project at Statoil.
