Engineering ontology

Different problem models have the same representation format and characteristics vocabulary, thus providing standardization of information representation in the supply chain domain. Problem model taxonomy serves as a meta-model for knowledge model generation and ontology engineering. Ontology inherits concepts, subsumption relationships, and characteristics from the problem model, thus... 

Object model generation is a software engineering practice. If parallels are drawn with software engineering, ontologies can be considered as classes, while object models are their instances encapsulated into software entities. Object models are tangible software constructs, where problem-specific data are represented in a common programming language, encapsulated in a formal model, and accompanied with descriptions of what to do with the data and how to do it. 

Provide an overview of a set of engineering ontologies and classify those according to their content (Sect. 5.5). 

Local Data Model Definition. Based on our experience in the domain, the W3C standard of RDF(S) and OWL languages are sufficient to define local data models. For a more detailed explanation of data model definition and some examples of engineering ontologies, we refer readers to Chap. 5. 

In the rest of the section, we describe the five engineering ontologies—the Components, Connections, Systems, Requirements and Constraints ontologies—that we... 

As we have defined the five engineering ontologies, we will show in the following two sections how we used them in two real-world use cases. 

Engineering ontologies— used as a common upper ontology for the local ontologies,... 

The Engineering Ontologies are used as a common upper level vocabulary for the local ontologies. As in the hybrid integration approach, described in (Wache et al. 2001), the upper level ontologies ensure that the local ontologies share a set...
