Motivation for the Supply Chain Use Case
• Visibility&and&transparency&in&the&information&flows&of&these&huge&supply&chain&networks&is&a&real&challenge.
• Large&manufacturers&have&many&thousands&of&suppliers.
• A&unified&data&flow&is¤tly&challenging&due&to:&– Heterogeneous&distributed& systems&
– Dated&data&exchange&formats&and&standards&(e.g.,&EDI)
– NonDconformance& to&the&standards
• A&promising&technology&for&increasing&transparency&in&supply&chain&networks&is&Linked&Data.

Supply Chain Dashboard
• Powered&by&eccenca&Linked&Data&Suite
• Work&supported&by&the&GeoKnow&EU&FP7&Project
• Supply&Chain&Visualization&
• Simulation&Environment
• Supplier&Score&Card&and&Metrics&Editor
• Linking&with&external&Data
8
Integrating Background Knowledge
• Historical&and¤t&weather&information&are&integrated
• Weather&and&supply&chain&related&queries&can&be&issued&via&SPARQL
• News&and&social&media&streams&are&to&be&integrated&as&sources&for&additional&background&knowledge

Xybermotive Integration
• Prove&of&concept&for&integration&with&the&commercial&web&EDI&solution&xybermotive
• Data&exchange&via&LUCID&dataDendpoints&forming&a&value&chain&network
• Real&time,&securely&encrypted&and&certificate&based&exchange&of&arbitrary&company&data&(in&our&case&inventory&information)

• POC&demonstrates&exchange&of&inventory&data
• It&allows&for&searching&alternate&supplier&in&the&whole&supply&chain&network&based&on&that&data
Data Conversion to RDF
Two&input&sources:
• Internal:&Exchanged&EDI&messages– Conversion&to&a&controlled&RDF&vocabulary
• External:&External&data&sets– Background&knowledge
13
eccenca RDB2RDF
• RDB2RDF&is– a&flexible&query&rewriting&engine
– based&on&W3C’s&R2RML&– useable&as&ETLDTool&or&SPARQL&server
• Exposes&relational&data&to&a&Linked&Data&Layer
• Used&for&converting&EDI&messages&and&external&data&sets
15
Linked Data Integration
• Separate&EDI&messages&become&a&connected&RDF&graph– e.g.&shippings contain&links&to&corresponding& orders
• External&data&sets&can&be&integrated&as&background&knowledge– e.g.&weather&statistics
• Individual&original&datasources can&be&queried&and&analyzed&as&a&single&source
• Schema&can&grow&and&be&extended&as&needed,&adapting&established&standard&vocabularies&or&custom&domain&designs
16
Supplier Score Card
• A&supplier&score&card&allows&the&performance&assessment&of&each&supplier&based&on&various&metrics
• Supplier&scores&are&evaluated&onDtheDfly&based&on&historic&and¤tly&incoming&supply&chain&messages
• Goal:%Support%decision%making%in%supply%chain%management
17
eccenca Data Integration
• Integrates&a&set&of&heterogeneous&data&sources&into&a&single&consistent&linked&data&set:– Translates&data&sources&with&different& schemata&to&a&consistent&RDF&schema (Mapping)
– Generates&links&between&related&entities&(Linking)
– Transformation&rules&clean&or&enrich&existing&data&(RDF2RDF&Transformation)
18
Rule-driven Integration
• The&integration&process&is&driven&by&a&set&of&rules– Linking&Rules
– Transformation&Rules
– Scoring%Rules%/%(KPI)%Calculations%/%Data%Aggregations%
• Intuitive&graphical&rule&editor
• Allows&detailed&evaluation&of&each&rule
• MachineDlearning&of&rules&possible,&e.g.&for&optimization
19
Scoring Rules Editor
• Performance&metrics&are&userDdefined
• A&visual&builder&allows&the&specification&of&performance&metrics&through&an&intuitive&interface
• Performance&metrics&may&utilize&integrated&information
20
Analytics
• Final&Step:&Analytics
• RapidMinerwith&LOD&extensions– RapidMiner is&a&tool&for&machine&learning,&data&mining,& text&mining,& predictive&analytics&and&
business&analytics
– LOD&extensions&developed& by&University&of&Mannheim&
• Use&of&other&BIDtools&possible&(via&SPARQL&endpoint&or&CSV)
22
Summary
• Traditional&supply&chain&analytics&systems&mostly&include&information&that&can&be&measured&and&collected&by&the&assessor&(e.g.&the&manufacturer)&themselves.
• We&presented&an&integrated&data&integration&tool&that&allows&the&user&to&connect&internal&supply&chain&data&with&external&data&sources,&such&as&official&statistical&data&sets.
• UserDdefined&performance&metrics&may&utilize&this&additional&information&provided&by&external&data&sets&and&enable&a&more&comprehensive&view&of&the&supply&chain.
• A&reporting&component&allows&the&user&to&drillDdown&into&supplier&scores&and&visualize&scores&by&various&dimensions.&Results&can&also&be&exported&for&use&in&external&BIDtools.
• Corporate&Memory&approach&outlines&our&future&development&to&build&a&semantic&layer&linked&to&a&big&data&infrastructure&(data&lake)&to&help&tackling&datasets&management&and&data&transparency&needs.
