Building the Semantic Utility with Standards and Semantic Web Services

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5333))

Abstract

Within this contribution, we outline the need for standards in the utility industry. We motivate the need for modern industry standards such as those developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission and introduce concepts based on those standards to foster integration in a modern utility environment by using service-oriented architectures and Semantic Web services. The focus lies on COLIN, a methodology applicable to overcome fallacies in the integration of different industry standards. Furthermore, we propose the usage of information allocated using the COLIN methodology to annotate Web services with semantic information.
