Semantic Days 2014, Stavanger

摘要

Norway's annual 'Semantic Days' conference gathers semantic web enthusiasts from oil and gas and other verticals. Kari Anne Haaland Thorsen (EPIM) opened the proceedings with a reminder that Norway's costs are too high. Since 80% of Statoil's costs are external, Norway's prime minister has told Statoil, 'make your suppliers competitive!' Cost reductions are expected through the implementation of a generic information model (GIM), applicable across 'industry, business and the public sector.' Earlier Norwegian standards efforts went under 'Integrated operations' (10) banner. This is now refocusing on integrated work processes across domains and suppliers, on semantics, big data and offshore logistics. Rather grand claims are made for GIM's potential to provide a 'unifying logic,' 'proof,' and 'trust' across use cases and stakeholders.
