Ontology Summit 2026 Interoperability
- Todd Schneider Introduction to the Interoperability Track
- Will Sobel The Evolution of an Industrial Standard: From Paper to Ontology
- The MTConnect Standard has progressed from an XML- and PDF-based normative to a SysML model, and now to an ontology layer on top of the information model. The transition from paper to a model-based approach has yielded significant advantages, but it has not resolved critical concerns regarding validation, trustworthiness, and usability. As the standard has matured, additional challenges have arisen that modeling languages such as SysML cannot address. With the increasing need for cross-domain information sharing and supplier agility, existing standards impede interoperability due to insufficient semantic representation and siloed viewpoints. These issues have become very apparent as we explore certain domains, such as capabilities, that cannot be addressed without an ontological approach.
- William Sobel has been architecting complex systems across various industries for over 35 years. For the last 19 years, Mr. Sobel has served as the Chief Architect and chair of the Executive Committee of the MTConnect Standard, an international model-based standard for manufacturing equipment and the IIoT. Additionally, he leads the Industrial Ontologies Foundry Architecture Working Group, which advances support for cross-domain industrial knowledge and explainable AI. While leading the architecture of the MTConnect standard, Mr. Sobel was the CEO of VIMANA, a leading industrial analytics platform. Before VIMANA, he worked as a visiting lecturer at UC Berkeley, teaching agile web development and data center optimization using machine learning at RadLAB. Before UC Berkeley, Mr. Sobel worked in the financial industry for 17 years. He served as VP and Chief Architect at MSCI-Barra, leading a team that was architecting the industry's first and leading SaaS financial risk management software.
