Call for Participation in Oil, Gas and Chemicals Business Group
W3C has launched the Oil, Gas and Chemicals Business Group
The Oil, Gas and Chemicals Business Group is intended to study and possibly demonstrate applications of Semantic Web technology to business issues in those industries. An example of the topics the Business Group could focus on is information describing the equipment used in major capital projects, with an eye to integration of that information with other major parts of the value chain such as production, maintenance and facilities engineering information systems. Another possibility is open publishing of catalog or metadata records according to published ontologies so that the published records can be queried, aggregated and analyzed in order to improve the efficiency and intelligence of searching for relevant resources.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
Hello,
Our newsletter, Oil IT Journal has been reporting on the semantic web since around 2003 with over a 100 articles on Semantic technology in oil and gas, most now in the public domain. You may like to start with our report from the 2009 Semantic Technologies in Oil & Gas meet hosted by Chevron in Houston.
