Data & Knowledge
Main evaluated options
1. Data Model as a set of XSD files
 Data Repository as a set of XML files
No explicit semantic definitions (and therefore no validation)
Inter–documents references (cross-reference) are poorly modeled
Distributed data can be hardly managed
2. Data Model as a set of Ontologies (Semantic Web) (i.e. OWL files
containing meta-data definitions)
 Data Repository as a set of OWL/RDF files containing individuals
Semantic data representation
Modeling of distributed data (enabler for referential consistency check)
Possibility for Xml serialization

GIOVE Virtual Factory GIOVE Virtual Factory (GIOVE-VF) is a virtual reality
collaborative environment aimed at supporting the factory design by
selecting machines, operators and other resources and place them in the 3D
scene of the virtual factory.
VF-GUI is an interface, generated dynamically from the data model, to
create and visualize Factory projects and libraries. It is adopted to
explore, modify information contained in local or remote repositories the
user may have access to.
ARENA Simulation Module integrates the commercial simulation
software tool ARENA and a set of libraries for the automatic model
generation within the VFF.
CHRONOS is an optimization tool that can be adopted to solve
optimization problems related to manufacturing production systems
such as: buffer allocation, pallet sizing, kanban number optimization.
