• F2F meeting are progressing well• The Use Case format is well accepted• Communication channel through the Industry portal

– Number of Cases in D 1.1.2: 10-15 – Proposition to get an excellent description on max 10-15 Use Cases (D1.1.2 v1)– To be continued over 2005 to fill the gap

• Industry domains and applications scenarios

Business Case:

1. Overview

Challenge In a geographically distributed and complex organizations coordinate the buying and managing processes of real estate is a relevant and strategic asset. Solution Matching information among description of designing, maintenance techniques, estate descriptions etc. All these information are emerging from different communities of workers: Order Managing, Research and Technology, Testing, Maintenance and Plant Engineering groups. Why a Semantic solution Semantic supports a richer matching among concurrent description of rolling stocks and railway materials. Semantics allow an effective design, maintenance, and dismission of Train estate and materials during their whole life cycles. Key Business Benefits Coordinate 5.000 employees, according to their skills, over ten workshops (called Business Units, each is specialized on a different kind of rolling stock) which are geographically distributed in Italy and in charge of periodical maintenance of Trenitalia’s rolling stock and materials. Business Partners Trenitalia and all the complex organizations that need to share knowledge among autonomous units, aimed at estate managing and buying.

Keys components Existing Software 1. GAD (Gestione Archivio Disegni): the repository of the official projects’ designs. It is accessed by some communities of the firm that are

allowed to write, check, validate and review new Maintenance Technical Procedure (MTP) referring to train’s components. 2. SICUESE: it is an Access database, dedicated to the storage of documents dealing with maintenance activities, including MTPs. 3. RFI web site: RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) is the Trenitalia’s web site in which the railway infrastructure is managed 4. RSMS: it is a SAP system where all the operations performed on each rolling stock item are recorded. Research and Development Peer to peer document sharing and reviewing systems; semantic information retrieval tools; Expert maps; Social technologies that allow communities exchanging processes; Documents upload on official repositories Technology locks Query engines; Semantic matching; System for social creation and reviewing of documents, MTP, ecc. Coherency of distributed storage and retrieval systems

Knowledge Processing Uni Trento Task 3

• Task 3 : Knowledge Processing needs and components– Knowledge processing needs already detailed on few (4) Use Cases

• from D1.1.2 Use Case Portfolio

– A simplified RUP methodology was used in order to identify KP tasks– Needs “walk-through” illustrative examples

• for presentation and test

– Needs concrete and focused sub-scenario • with data to explicit the critical K components

– Proposition to get an excellent KP analysis examples • (10 from D1.1.2) to issue a D 1.1.3 v1

– Worry: Size of the document if 10-20 analyzed Use Cases. • The bottom line for incusion of a use case should be its added value, i.e., new

knowledge processing tasks with respect to the already included use cases.
