System and method for providing a scalable semantic mechanism for policy-driven assessment and effective action taking on dynamically changing data

摘要

A system for providing a scalable semantic mechanism for policy-driven assessment and action taking on dynamically changing data includes a policy context that is a collection of ontologies that capture policies of the enterprise in a semantic, declarative grammar, in a semantic database, a performance context that receives and stores sensor data output monitoring managed assets persisted in a time-series database, a workflow context that determines the workflow process necessary to manage the managed asset based on the governance policies and sensor data, implemented using a workflow engine that supports a declarative workflow language, a decision context that contains business rules encoded in a declarative grammar, implemented using a business rule engine and in which the business rules define conditions under which an asset is corrected, and an adjudication context that defines all associations between the four contexts that are necessary to monitor and manage the enterprise managed assets.
