do: capture, retain, and share the domain
knowledge of GE's engineers. "As data geeks,
one of the things we first spend time on is
talking to engineers, understanding the data
and how it gets processed. I felt that with the
advent of Semantic Web there is a better,
more efficient way we can achieve things like
self-describing data, and that would make
finding patterns so much easier. We found a
way to allow domain experts to capture their
own knowledge in semantics and give them
access to things like reasoning and tools
for data integration by developing what we
call semantic application design language,
or SADL."
Using an example from aviation, where
GE estimates that servicing aircraft engines
involves 205 million man-hours per year at
a cost of $10 billion, Gustafson explains the
utility of semantics. "We want to proactively
manage engines service to prevent unexpected
repairs," he says. "We use semantic technology
to extract data from maintenance records
-where somebody wrote down what they
did to return the engine to service-turning
textual unstructured data into knowledge,

eliminating uncertainty and providing
enhanced understanding of an asset's health."
This now-accessible knowledge about prior
maintenance allows GE's services teams to
deliver better operational performance.
"We will start moving this technology
closer and closer to the asset," says Gustafson.
"When the data that is coming off of engines
is already semantically tagged, we can
start connecting things to give them more
autonomy, to schedule when maintenance
occurs, for example."
Semantically tagged data could give
enterprises a much more granular view of
their operations, allowing them to move from
tracking assets to servicing assets to managing
assets-even to giving assets more autonomy to
manage themselves. Web standards provide
a layer that masks the idiosyncrasies of
specific devices, especially those that have
been developed and installed over the past
20 or 30 years and communicate in their
own specialized language, thus creating data
that can be shared by all other things on the
Internet. The use of web standards, says
Gustafson, will "enable complex assets and
