DELTA is part of a new Working Group CLC/TC 205/WG 19 on Energy Management Ontology created by CEN and CENELEC. Ontologies are key to bridge semantic domains, and they are crucial to reach interoperability. Thus, considering the increasing importance of interoperability, the group aims to develop a common ontology reusing existing data models (CEN, CENELEC, ISO, IEC and ETSI).

At the group’s kick-off meeting on 8th November 2019 in Brussels, UPM and several companies and organisations (such as ETSI) all showed interest in working together to build this common ontology. We expect to be able to align our work in DELTA with the work carried out in this working group at the following meetings in the coming year.
