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

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 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. The following list provides examples of presentation topics that would be appropriate for the event:

• Lessons Learned from Experience on Managment of Data: methodologies and strategies in managing knowledge through lifecycle of decommissioning projects, lessons learned, best practices, regulatory requirements. 
• AI Application on Knowledge Management for Decommissioning: known challenges/failure modes of AI technologies related to deployment
• Role of Semantic Technologies in Knowledge Management: how semanting technologies, such as ontologies, facilitate machine understanding of data and enhance knowledge organization, retrieval and utilization in decommissioning. 
• Emerging Digital Technologies for Data Management in Decommissioning: innovative approaches for knowledge management and sharing.
