Towards a Multidimensional Ontology Model for DIH-Based Organisations

Abstract

Digital innovation hubs are of utmost importance when they sustain cooperation in innovative technological domains like the cyber-physical system. In this paper, the authors introduce, in the first part, a DIH ontology that they extend (1) with network and (2) with CPS entities. For this, they remind the questions that the ontology must answer, deploy the methodology proposed by Noy and McGuinness to identify the classes and the associations between classes, and integrate the new CPS ontological extensions. In the second part, they implement the full innovative DIH4CPS ontology within Protégé, and they instantiate it to a real company.

Blockchain unlocking collaborative opportunities for environmental sustainability through innovation intermediaries

“…As shown in Table 1, the first peer-reviewed articles about DIHs related to the fields of business, management, economics and social sciences, were published in 2020. Extant studies focused on the intermediary role of exemplary DIHs and on the transfer of knowledge between stakeholders (Crupi et al, 2020;Hervas-Oliver et al, 2021;Lepore et al, 2023), on giving access to I.40 technologies (Dyba et al, 2022;Gladysz et al, 2023), on addressing regional needs for innovation (Aragonés et al, 2020;Hervas-Oliver et al, 2021) and on proposing models and solutions for DIHs (Charvát et al, 2022;Sassanelli & Terzi, 2022a, 2022bFeltus et al, 2023). To analyse the value generated by DIHs, Sassanelli and Terzi (2022a) proposed the Value Proposition Canvas to a network surrounding the hub, including providers, users, academic and technology organizations.…”
