A Mapping Approach to Convert MTPs into a Capability and Skill Ontology

Being able to quickly integrate new equipment and functions into an existing plant is a major goal for both discrete and process manufacturing. But currently, these two industry domains use different approaches to achieve this goal. While the Module Type Package (MTP) is getting more and more adapted in practical applications of process manufacturing, so-called skill-based manufacturing approaches are favored in the context of discrete manufacturing. The two approaches are incompatible because their models feature different contents and they use different technologies. This contribution provides a comparison of the MTP with a skill-based approach as well as an automated mapping that can be used to transfer the contents of an MTP into a skill ontology. Through this mapping, an MTP can be semantically lifted in order to apply functions like querying or reasoning. Furthermore, machines that were previously described using two incompatible models can now be used in one production process

Museus e coleções científicas como infraestrutura de investigação para as ciências e humanidades

Com estas jornadas, o Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência convida a comunidade científica nacional (unidades de investigação, laboratórios associados, universidades, politécnicos) a debater de forma alargada o papel dos museus e coleções científicas enquanto infraestrutura de investigação. Que papel podem ter? Que serviços podem prestar? Em que áreas científicas? Quais as necessidades da comunidade científica? Quais as prioridades e estratégias de atuação
