DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://semtech2011.semanticweb.com/sessionPop.cfm?confid=62&proposalid=4062\nThe ONTORULE project was initiated by a consortium of leading vendors of semantic technologies and business rules management systems, of top research institutions and of large industrial companies representing the user's side, to develop the integrated methodology and implementation technology that will enable users, from business executives over business analysts to IT developers, to interact in their own way with the part of a business application that is relevant to them.\nWe believe that one essential step towards achieving that objective is the ability to separate cleanly the representation of the knowledge at the business, operational and execution levels, on the one hand; and the business vocabulary from the business rules, on the other hand.\nIn this session, we will describe our results after two years of the project. Based on demonstrations from a steel industry and an automotive industry use cases, the session will cover:\n-	The ONTORULE approach to business user's empowerment through semantic technologies;\n-	The technology that is integrated in an ONTORULE platform, and how it is integrated using open standards: from business modelling and from ontology and rule acquisition from policy texts, to knowledge management, consistency maintenance across ontologies and rules, knowledge integration and combined execution;\n-	The benefits from the approach, and the typical use cases.\nAt the end of the project, the ONTORULE consortium will publish the specification of the integrated platform.
