This Special Issue is designed to investigate the extent to which knowledge representation techniques can be applied to international standardization, both from a theoretical and practical point of view and to analyze the benefits that can be expected from their use: are smart standards still a dream or can they become reality?\\

===== Research activities =====
My research activities are mainly directed towards the adaptation of knowledge engineering techniques, such as semantic information extraction, in order to improve the interoperability of applications used to manage the information exchanges in industry, particularly when they involve digital twins. This is facilitated by ontology-based representations.

I work as an expert for various standards bodies, at international level (ISO, IEC), at European level (CEN, CENELEC) and at French level (AFNOR). In the field of industrial data (as an expert for the ISO TC184 / SC4 committee), my contribution focusing on the development of new standards in the field of production management as well as the management and monitoring of existing standards. All these standards must be both consistent and interoperable with each other and developed in accordance with the rules provided by the Standards Bodies (Directives). 

An important aspect of my research work is the development of international standards based on :\\
- requirements arising from industry needs, expressed and formulated using approaches based on knowledge engineering, automatic representation and integration of these requirements into standardisation documents,\\
- the use of information extraction and semantic annotation techniques based on ontologies,\\
- the application of methods based on natural language processing techniques to encourage the development of standards that can be read and used directly by machines (SMART standards). 

The experience I have gained as an expert and convenor of various standardisation committees has enabled me to understand and highlight the problems associated with the specific nature (and complexity) of the whole standardisation process. This has enabled me to study the extent to which approaches based on knowledge engineering can be used in the drafting of standards, in particular the development of ontologies corresponding to the knowledge domains of the technical standards to be taken into account, but also the consideration of interoperability issues. As ontologies can differ in scope, point of view and granularity, it is often necessary to use alignment techniques to enable the different models to be synthesised. 

The concept of digital twin is an important part of my research work, particularly through the modelling and representation of the information exchanges that it enables between the players involved throughout the various stages of industrial processes. Standardisation plays a very important role here, as the interoperability of these exchanges will be facilitated by the use of standardised languages and approaches.

Other applications in my research area include :\\
- smart grids,\\
- reference architectures and reference models,\\
- natural language processing,\\
- semantic integration,\\
- semantic interoperability,\\
- information extraction,\\
- semantic frameworks and their application to the representation of information and knowledge linked to standardisation and norms (standards roadmaps),\\
- digital twins.\\

== FoF FLEXINET - 2013 - 2016 ==

FLEXINET is a European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7-2013-NMP-ICT-FOF (RTD) project funded under grant agreement no  608627, which started on 1 July 2013 and runs until the end of June 2016. The project is investigating the feasibility of providing software services to support decision makers in configuration and especially rapid reconfiguration of Global Production Networks.
