... that forms the basis for quality monitoring and management of MAM process outcomes. Using our previously developed process ontology model [1–3], which describes the relationship between process variables and process outcomes, we can discover the relationship between the real-time, physical phenomena...

... definitions associated with the terms contain so much ambiguity that they do not make the differences evident and/or do not provide enough information to resolve the differences. A solution to this problem is the development of a taxonomy, or ontology, of manufacturing concepts and terms along...

... of internal operations; lack of a common understanding of steps in a supply chain; and incompleteness of data. Ontologies can address the traceability challenge by creating a shared understanding of the traceability model across stakeholders in a food supply chain. They can also support semantic mediation...

... either a ‘true’ or a ‘false’ value. So, this paper proposes a modified, fuzzy logic–based ontology to represent and further use the uncertain information in a disassembly process, Case studies have been included to illustrate the concept. uncertainty representation EOL Information Model...

... an interoperable environment in which the context and meaning of knowledge about the relationships among various domains can be shared. This work presents an ontological framework designed to represent both the objectives that pertain to sustainable design and the applicable sustainability standards...

... in biology. The biological community has already made progress in knowledge management through projects such as the Gene Ontology and CellML, and it behooves the engineering community to learn from their successes. Engineering and biology overlap in the field of biosimulation, (i.e. finite-element analysis...

... challenges since proper data comes from different sources across multiple departments. In recent years, ontological models have been shown to be good at relation representation and knowledge management. Ontologies have been used to help with data integration and decision-making. This paper puts forward...

... and intelligence are the two key requirements of web- based solution for efficient deployment of virtual supply chains. It was previously shown that an ontological approach, because of its semantic nature, yields more precise results compared to traditional techniques such as keyword search. While the proposed...

... of the information generated at the early stages for sharing and reuse throughout the entire design process. Most of all, improved transparent communication throughout the design process will reduce duplication of efforts and trial and error occurrences. Keywords: design process, knowledge management, ontology...

.... This paper proposes an ontology of logical criteria for classification of functional terms (called FOCUS/View). Using the classes defined in FOCUS/View, the classification criteria of a functional taxonomy can be explicitly represented. These classes have been conceptualized based on deep investigation on FB...

... efficiency and save energy. This paper focuses on the evolution of user driven innovation. We present an ontology of user driven innovation. It is followed by a state-of-the-art analysis of traditional and new approaches. Finally we try to predict whether a user driven innovation approach could aid...

... to this problem, this paper investigates some ontological issues based on the role concept in ontological engineering. We discuss some ontological distinctions of function such as essentiality and actuality and then propose some fundamental kinds of function such as essential function and capacity function. Based...

... during last decades for the synthesis of conceptual solutions is that their knowledge bases were application dependent. Latest research in the field of Ontology showed the possibility to build knowledge representations in a reusable and shareable manner. This allows the construction of knowledge...

We discuss a design information representation model where the folksonomy-based bottom up method and traditional top-down methods of ontology and taxonomy play complementary roles. An approach to implementing a framework for a product design folksonomy...

To support the DFM Framework, we have developed an information model (ontology) of manufacturing process knowledge in the domain of additive manufacturing processes, including design requirements, process plans, and rules that map...
