Abstract

We discuss the key role of semantic technologies for the mass customization of smart products, smart data, and smart services. It is shown that new semantic representation languages for the description of services and product memories like USDL and OMM provide the glue for integrating the Internet of Things, the Internet of Data, and the Internet of Services. Semantic service matchmaking in cyber-physical production systems is presented as a key enabler of the disruptive change in the production logic for Industrie 4.0. Finally, we discuss the platform stack for mass customization and show how a customized smart product can serve as a platform for personalized smart services that are based on smart data provided by the connected product.
