EmissionML Foundations Training: Core Ontology and Entity Relationships

November 12, 10 AM Mountain Time

Webinar by Dr. Steve Liang, CSO and Founder of SensorUp

Many organizations, including operators, regulators, and sensor vendors, manage emissions data using multiple systems, formats, and proprietary interfaces. This fragmentation introduces inconsistencies, limits interoperability, complicates compliance and analysis, and ultimately hinders effective emission-reduction operations.

What if emissions data could be shared seamlessly across systems, vendors, and sensing technologies while remaining traceable, auditable, and ready for analytics and AI?

The OGC Emission Event Modeling Language (EmissionML) is an emerging open-standard ontology and data model developed within the Open Geospatial Consortium to define emissions data that are sensor-agnostic, vendor-neutral, traceable, and interoperable.

This 30-minute introductory session presents the first principles of EmissionML—how it organizes emissions observations, ensures data lineage, and prepares datasets for integration with analytical and AI workflows.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• The Why: The role of standardized emissions ontologies in ensuring transparency, regulatory assurance, and operational efficiency

• The What: Core entities, relationships, and metadata defined in EmissionML

• The How: Methods for reconciling heterogeneous data sources into an auditable and traceable structure

• The Time: November 12, 10 AM Mountain Time

• The Next Steps: Key questions to assess data readiness and vendor compatibility

‍

Who should attend:

Professionals working in emissions accounting, ESG data management, and digital operations who seek to improve efficiency and effectiveness of emissions reduction operations and reporting.
