  Data in engineering industries is highly standardized and information-dense, and usually distributed across many different sources with incompatible formats and implicit semantics. As such, it provides an ideal use case for application of semantic technologies for data integration and access. However, adoption of semantic technologies is hampered due to the complex set of competencies required to construct a scalable and maintainable ontology. We present a methodology for aiding domain experts and ontology engineers in constructing and maintaining industry-viable ontologies using a template-based approach for ontology modeling and instantiation. Using the OTTR framework, the structure of the input formats and the semantics of the target domain are modeled and maintained in separate modularized template libraries. Data provided by domain experts is mapped to these templates, allowing end-users to extend and amend the model without the need to directly interact with semantic technology languages and tools.Our approach is demonstrated on a real-world use case from the asset maintenance domain which has applicability to a wide range of industries.

  The competitiveness of modern enterprises heavily depends on their ability to make the right business decisions by relying on efficient and timely analysis of the right business critical data. In large and data intensive companies such as Equinor, a Norwegian multinational oil and gas company with more than 20,000 employees, gathering such data is not a trivial task due to the growing size and complexity of corporate information sources. As a result, the data gathering task is often the most time-consuming part of the decision making process, in particular when it comes to the work processes of Equinor’s Exploration geologists that should find in a timely manner New exploitable accumulations of oil or gas in given areas by analysing data about these areas. In this work we present our experience in addressing this data challenge tast at Equinor. We have developed and deployed at Equinor a semantic data access system that relies on the Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) approach. Our system is based on our solid theoretical contributions and has been extensively evaluated at Equinor

  Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) is a prominent approach to query databases which uses an ontology to expose data in a conceptually clear manner by abstracting away from the technical schema-level details of the underlying data. The ontology is ‘connected’ to the data via mappings that allow to automatically translate queries posed over the ontology into data-level queries that can be executed by the underlying database management system. Despite a lot of attention from the research community, there are still few instances of real world industrial use of OBDA systems. In this work we present data access challenges in the data-intensive petroleum company Statoil and our experience in addressing these challenges with OBDA technology. In particular, we have developed a deployment module to create ontologies and mappings from relational databases in a semi-automatic fashion, and a query processing module to perform and optimise the process of translating ontological queries into data queries and their execution. Our modules have been successfully deployed and evaluated for an OBDA solution in Statoil.
