Abstract
The speakers Michael Noeske, Jesper Friis and Emanuele Ghedini showed how translation can be formalised and digitalised stepwise by first elaborating a conceptualisation of the innovation case in terms of its objects (materials, devices etc) and processes, each with associated properties (and ways of determining them). This forms the basis of further formalisation into an ontology, which in turn can be deployed in a knowledge base that encapsulates the above semiotic processes of translation inside a FAIR digitalised solution that simplifies sharing and reuse of knowledge.
