RE: independent semantic software evaluation frameworks?

There WILL BE (some may say, already are) multiple O&G industry
standards out there from the different standard organizations -- some
open, some not so open.  Currently, I see that it's a matter of how each
company bring them into their enterprises and work with them internally.
Isn't it the individual companies responsibility to align/not align
their corporate models to the standards?  Even though the interests are
there, I don't see a lot of urgency from the O&G companies to have a
SINGLE, one-size-fits-all, open-for-all ontology.  More of an utopian
thinking, IMHO.

AA: Then there will be the Shell master ontology model, BP master
ontology 
model, Exxon, Chevron, Total, Conoco, and it is only "the oil major"
master 
data models. What about industry standards, compatibility of the
corporate 
master ontologies, their merging, converging or at least aligning? Here
was 
the whole point of the question, to my reading. Thanks.

Azamat,

Thank you for your comments on the PwC interview.  The standards I was
referring to was Chevron's internal standards in ontology naming, and
making them sharable with the [Chevron] community, thereby as a basis of
our own [Chevron] master data/ontology model.

I hope this helps with the clarification.

Thank you, Pieter:

The forecast makes an interesting reading. Particularly i liked Frank
Chum
of Chevron interview on shared ontologies in the oil and gas industry.

Although, have to say, he missed to answer the most interesting
question:

 PwC: Do you sense some danger that we could have a lot of enthusiasm
here
and end up with a lot of non-compatible ontologies? Are we going to
enter a
period where there will need to be some sort of master data model, a
master
ontology model effort?

FC: We already defined some standards to address that. We have a URI
[Uniform Resource Identifier] standard for how you name ontologies, and
it's
referenceable so that you can go into that URI and retrieve the
ontology. We
tried to make that shareable, and we are also starting a community type
of
space.
