    abstract = {The Factory of Things (FoT) describes the extension of the Internet of
Things specific to the production domain. The semantic description of products,
processes and plants depicts a basic module of this approach, through which information
can be filtered and services can be discovered and orchestrated on demand.
The usage of semantic technologies in the context of production can make
a valuable contribution towards managing the growing complexity and increasing
the flexibility and adaptability of production facilities. This position paper
discusses several use cases, which explain the potential advantages of using semantic
technologies in the field of production automation. These scenarios cover
the interpretation of heterogeneous context data using ontologies, the semantic
description of facilities including the respective components (e.g. sensors), and
the orchestration of semantically annotated web services to build complex production
processes. Based on the described use cases, several scientific issues are
discussed with a special focus on semantic interoperability.},
