  • 1.  The SID and RDF, Semantic Web

    Posted Oct 19, 2017 06:51
    With some apparent current interest in applying AI, Intent-based activities, Intent languages and "Knowledge Plane" telco operations,
     has there been any work done to build a Semantic Web layer on top of the SID? i.e. Something like the use of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) with the SID?

    I am contemplating a radical new design for a Resource Catalog where, it would seem to me, there could be good use made of W3C initiatives. I wonder who else has done something like this?

    Hi Peter,

    A few years ago I used RDF technology to link the eTOM and an in-house application catalogue (itself linked to the TAM), as well as to a catalogue of web service definitions. For that I used the open source Semantic-Mediawiki which includes support for creating RDF links.

    I never got around to doing the SID, but it has always been a long-term goal. Now I am more focused on the use of SID through Open APIs, but I think a good RDF SID model could go a long way toward creating a coherent enterprise data model from the ground up, i.e. through URI references in the Open APIs to a common SID-based definition of the data field.

    I'd love to explore this more with you.

    Regards,
    Doug

    Thanks for your input Doug.

    I think there may also be scope for using Machine Learning techniques to learn ontologies in how data is used, possibly leading to "intelligent" data model improvement.
