Technical Meeting on Simple Knowledge Organization Systems for the Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

Background

Over the past decades the development of semantic technologies, which facilitate machine understanding of data, have resulted in advances in knowledge management. Semantic technologies organize knowledge systems by separating data and metadata (information about data, objects and concepts) and identifying the key concepts (objects or abstract ideas) which define a knowledge domain such as decommissioning. The network of relationships that link these concepts are known as ontologies and are fundamental to enabling the effective use of semantic technologies.

Objectives

The purpose of this event is to discuss the good practices in managing knowledge, to support the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The interoperability of the internationally existing knowledge systems will be assessed by the IAEA Member States. The conditions and requirements for the establishment of decommissioning knowledge interoperable platform will be discussed.

Presentations and discussions at the event will address in particular:

• The current knowledge management approaches used in planning and implementation of decommissioning projects.
• The emerging role of digital technologies in facilitating decommissioning data management.
• Means to facilitate access to decommissioning experience.

Topics

Presentations are invited on all approaches related to the deployment of good practices in managing knowledge, including use of Artificial Inteligence tools, to support the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
