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&currently&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&current&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)

Data Sources and Data Flow

12

Data Conversion to RDF

Two&input&sources:

• Internal:&Exchanged&EDI&messages– Conversion&to&a&controlled&RDF&vocabulary

• External:&External&data&sets– Background&knowledge

13

EDI Conversion

• Conversion&of&common&EDI&message&types

14

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&currently&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

Example: Perfect Order Fulfillment

• For&each&order:&shipping&must&be&complete&and&on&time.

21

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)

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.
