Unit description |
|
X-LAB is a laboratory, located in Bologna, dedicated to technologies and standards for interoperability and their transfer and adoption to business networks (mainly in the manufacturing sector, with a specific attention to SMEs) and cities (smart city) ). X-LAB was born as joint initiative of ENEA (a state owned Italian research instution, www.enea.it) and FTI (Forum per la Tecnologia dell’Informazione, www.forumti.it, a no profit organisation of ICT providers and customers) launched in 2003 and following 13 years of activities of ENEA DTE-SEN-CROSS unit (already known as UDA-PMI or UTT-PMI) in the fields of the industrial districts and networks of enterprises in Italy. Since March 15th 2011 X-LAB is part of the CROSS-TECLaboratory in the Technopole Manifattura of Bologna of the Regional High Technology Network of the Emilia Romagna region.
|
Activity |
|
The activities of X-LAB can be grouped in four main areas: - 1 - interoperability and tools for smart cities
- development and analysis of data exchange specifications between verticals at different levels
- specific demonstration projects
- methodologies for interoperability testing
- 2 - Building, promotion and adaptation/contextualisation of interoperability standards and dictionaries
- promotion or partecipation to the creation of B2B standards (CEN/ISSS TexWeave, Moda-ML, collaborations with OASIS on UBL and ebXML , eBIZ-TCF project, UBL-Italia initiative)
- awareness creation and fostering the B2B standard adoption (collaborations with Euratex, CEN/ISSS, eBIZ-TCF project)
- participation to roadmapping activities in the fields of standards and Enterprise interoperability (CEN/ISSS eBIF, eBiz, European Technology Platform for Future Textile Clothing)
- training material (paper based or web managed courses)
- 3 - Research on Enterprise Interoperability and enterprise networking
- Semantic based tools to support new standardisation paradigms
- ICT support for establishing extended smart organisations and supply networks
- Collaboration processes modelling and profile/agreement management
- Semantic based tools for interoperability testin
- Self-adapting data exchange interfaces
- 4 - technology transfer projects and demonstrators, related with territorial demands
- technology animation and demonstration on local scale (Centro CROSS, LISEA lab) and support to the creation of center of services at district level
- sectorial specific projects of technology transfer or standard promotion

Area of Interest |
|
From a technological and scientific point of view the main interests are:
- xml based technologies
- participation to definition, adaptation and adoption of eBusiness standards (like ebXML and UBL)
- implementation and development of tools to facilitate/speed-up the setting up of the collaboration in the enterprise networks
- ontologies (OWL) to manage from a semantic point of view common dictionaries and ‘document factory’
- data analysis methods
- interoperability testing methods
The technological keywords are: XML, Web Services, B2B standards, ebXML, UBL, ontologies and semantic interoperability, virtual organisations.
|
Equipments |
|
The laboratory equipments in short:
- Laboratory server network.
- Document factory tools: tools for creation and maintenance of standard o standard-aware data models.
- Applications and Java libraries to manipolate XML Schema and XML documents.
- Test bed for standard conformance and for networked enterprises interoperability
|
Services |
|
Services offered by XLAB are accessibile to the tecnica and scientific community (enterprises as well as pubblic administration) that arte interested on these issues. The laboratory resources are available for:
- requests for documentation, feasibility study and training,
- sperimental activities on ICT technologies (including the development of prototypes and demonstrators)
- development/adaptation of standardised electronic documents; development of their use profiles
- study and design of pre-competitive architectures for interoperability "XML based"
- project building and management for pilot projects on interoperability technologies
- design and pre-competitive development of SW tools supporting interoperability
