The recently completed ITEA2 Smart Energy Aware Systems project, coordinated by
ENGIE R&D, received the ITEA Award of Excellence 2017. One of the notable
results of this project is the SEAS ontology: a high quality, modular,
versioned, and extensible, ontology that eases the modelling of engineering
systems and the various procedures related to these systems. The SEAS ontology
is designed to be very easy to extend, so as to cover existing data models, or
fill their identified gaps. They were originally developed to model the Smart
Grid domain, but can now be extended for other domains.

Industries use building-related data to achieve their business processes. They
would benefit from greater integration of data and interoperability between
their data sets and the wider linked data communities. Several groups are
currently developing enablers that can help making such data available to
applications. As a result, such data can help supporting decision makers during
the whole of the building life cycle, which includes design, construction,
commissioning, operation, retrofitting/refurbishment/reconfiguration,
demolition, and recycling of buildings.

This second edition of the SEAS Workshop, 4–5 May 2017, Paris, France, will
bring together experts from industry and academia, and from the following two
standardization groups:

- the buildingSMART Linked Data Working Group, which is responsible for building
and maintaining a recommended version of an ifcOWL ontology as an equivalent to
the IFC EXPRESS schema. The ifcOWL ontology is to be used in linked data and
semantic web applications that consume IFC data.
- the W3C Linked Building Data Community Group, which brings together experts in
the area of building information modelling (BIM) and Web of Data technologies to
define existing and future use cases and requirements for linked data based
applications across the life cycle of buildings.

We want to achieve a win-win operation during this workshop. Envisioned benefits
are:
- Help industries get acquainted with the work being done in the aforementioned
groups;
- Help proposing and organizing the envisioned use cases and requirements for
linked data based applications across the life cycle of buildings;
- Overview the existing knowledge models that can be used to represent data in
an interoperable way, identify existing representational gaps;
- Contribute to the SEAS ontologies: validate what is modelled so far, augment
its coverage to the building domain.

The workshop is organized on two days.
- Day 1 consists of presentations in plenary sessions to help get a common
understanding of the various work that have been developed at ENGIE,
buildingSMART, the W3C, and the SEAS project. The afternoon is dedicated to
identifying use cases and requirements for the knowledge models.
- Day 2 consists in presentations about the SEAS knowledge model and how it
already has been extended. Then there will be three ontology engineering
sessions, allowing participants to identify the gaps in the existing knowledge
models, and draft new modules for the SEAS ontologies that could help to enable
new use cases.

Participation to this workshop is free, but there is a limit of 50 participants.
The registration procedure is as follows:
- first fill in the application form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdNung7_7qpR9FNcE54rvRK3x8pOoIp6p62GCiB_X7IN33wVg/viewform;
