“Industrial Ontologies” Group: Our History
• 1978-1984 – We took part in development of
the first in USSR Industrial Natural Language
Processing System “DESTA”, which included
semantic analysis and ontologies;
• 1985-1989 - We took part in development of the
first in USSR Industrial Automated Natural
Language Programming System “ALISA”,
which Enabled Semantic Annotation, Discovery
and Integration of software components
(prototype of today's Semantic Web Services
concept);

“Industrial Ontologies” Group: Our History
• 1990-1993 – under name of Metaintelligence Lab.
we were piloting concept of a Metasemantic
Network (triplet-based (meta-)knowledge
representation model) – prototype of today’s RDFbased knowledge representation in Semantic Web;
• 1994-2000 – various projects with industrial
partners, e.g. MetaAtom – “Semantic Diagnostics of
Ukrainian Nuclear Power Stations based on
Metaknowledge”; MetaHuman – industrial medical
diagnostics expert system based on
Metaknowledge”; Jeweler – metamodelling and
control of industrial processes, etc.; got several
research grants from Finnish Academy;

“Industrial Ontologies” Group: Our History
• 2000-2001 – we have created branches in Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam (heart of Semantic Web
activities in Europe) where now working 5 our
former team members, in Jyvaskyla University
(several tens of researchers) and established
research groups in Kharkov (Ukraine) on Data
Mining, Educational Ontologies, Telemedicine, etc.
• 2001-2003 – we took part in MultiMeetMobile Tekes
Project, in InBCT Tekes Project in Tempus EU
Compact Project in (or in cooperation with)
University of Jyvaskyla where we further promote
Semantic Web concepts. Since 16 November 2002
we start to name ourselves as the Industrial
Ontologies Group

“Industrial Ontologies” Group: Our History
• 2004-2007 – we worked on SmartResource Tekes
Project (in cooperation with TeliaSonera, Metso
Automation, TietoEnator, ABB, Science Park,
University of Jyvaskyla) which is fully based on our
views and approaches for implementation of
Semantic Web technology. We are also performing
the IdeaMentoring- I and IdeaMentoring- II projects
funded by NOKIA to provide solutions for
implementing Semantic Web Technology to mobile
applications and services.

“Industrial Ontologies” Group: Our History
• 2007-… – we are working on UBIWARE Tekes
Project (in cooperation with ABB, Fingrid, Metso
Automation, Metso Shared Services, Inno-W,
TietoEnator, Science Park, University of
Jyvaskyla) which further develops our concepts
and platforms based on Semantic and Agent
technologies integration.

Industrial Ontologies Group:
Important Objective
• For us there are no doubts about the
possibilities, which Semantic Web opens for
industry.
• that is why one important objective of our
activities is to study appropriate industrial
cases, collect arguments, launch industrial
projects and develop prototypes for the
industrial companies to not only believe
together with us but also benefit from the
Semantic Web.

GROUP PROFILE:

Industrial Ontologies Group
http://www.cs.jyu.fi/ai/OntoGroup/
Semantic Web and Ontologies
 Web Services, SOA , SWS and Cloud Computing
 (Multi) Agent Technologies
 Distributed Artificial Intelligence
 Knowledge Management, Big Data, Executable Knowledge
 Ubiquitous Computing
 Mobile Context-Aware Services and Applications
 Machine Learning, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
The main objective of the group is to contribute to fast
adoption of Semantic Web and related technologies to local
and global industries. It includes research and development
aimed to design a Global Understanding Environment as next
generation of Web-based platforms by making heterogeneous
industrial resources (files, documents, services, devices,
business processes, systems, organizations, human experts,
etc.) web-accessible, proactive and cooperative in a sense
that they will be able to automatically plan own behavior,
monitor and correct own state, communicate and negotiate
among themselves depending on their role in a business
process, utilize remote experts, Web-services, Linked Open
Data, software agents and various Web applications.
