Innovation Interoperability Ontology
First community contribution to Field 33: Innovation Interoperability by Dr. Lamyaa El Bassiti
Knowledge Graphs (KG) describe facts about a certain domain of interest or parts of it, e.g. an organizational system, an operational process or a business role, by representing them as knowledge models linking entities and relations among them. They can store millions of facts in their respective context.
However, since KGs are typically constructed semi-automatically or through extensive manual effort, KGs are often operationally expensive, inconsistent and bound to incompleteness. At Field 33 we treat ontologies as first-class citizens in their representations of formalized knowledge. Selectively embedding them into complex data structures — in our case, graphs — to not just enable compatibility of data sets and their entities, but furthermore, to power context-localized applications. Through that, we are, e.g. able to reason and infer new pairs of entities and relations to support information addition. Or calculate and recommend additional facts or validate hypotheses with less raw data required.
To ensure the scalability of our platform approach, we are continuously optimizing for a consistent development environment and therefore issued rules and tools for ontology contribution to our open platform. We are excited to announce that our first community contribution is available and already live in a working customer environment: Innovation Interoperability by Lamyaa El Bassiti.
The Field 33 innovation interoperability ontology formalizes and represents the key concepts underlying a systematic innovation approach. The contribution consists of three interconnected sub-ontologies, referring to the key dimensions of successful innovation within an open context, which are: Core-ideas, Actors and Context.
It was generated by Lamyaa El Bassiti based on her research work in Innovation Management and professional experience in entrepreneurship.
A summing research paper about Innovation Interoperability is available at Generic Modular Ontology for Innovation Domain. A Key Pillar Towards “Innovation Interoperability”
