“…task and collaboration ontologies) are considered the cornerstone for these approaches. Rajpathak and Chougule (2011) propose a generic and comprehensive methodology that 'puts ontology engineering on a firm scientific foundation and at the same time provides a collaborative environment for effective knowledge sharing and reuse'. The authors claim that the approach also provides a way of automatically extracting frequent terms from the data to construct an ontology in a bottom-up fashion.…”

The development of new products or processes involves the creation, re-creation and integration of conceptual models from the related scientific and technical domains. Particularly, in the context of collaborative networks of organisations (CNO) (e.g. a multi-partner, international project) such developments can be seriously hindered by conceptual misunderstandings and misalignments, resulting from participants with different backgrounds or organisational cultures, for example. The research described in this article addresses this problem by proposing a method and the tools to support the collaborative development of shared conceptualisations in the context of a collaborative network of organisations. The theoretical model is based on a socio-semantic perspective, while the method is inspired by the conceptual integration theory from the cognitive semantics field. The modelling environment is built upon a semantic wiki platform. The majority of the article is devoted to developing an informal ontology in the context of a European R&D project, studied using action research. The case study results validated the logical structure of the method and showed the utility of the method.

“…There are different ways to employ the ontologies, to represent knowledge and to generate inter-ontology mapping (Wache et al 2001, Usman et al 2010Rajpathak and Chougule 2011). In the single ontology approach, each information source is related to the same global domain ontology.…”

A troubleshooting configuration is a critical way to implement the specific paradigm by integrating a set of specific elements to satisfy both technical criteria and users' needs. With the objective of enabling efficient generation of automotive troubleshooting configuration by reusing configuration knowledge, an ontology-based approach to building troubleshooting configuration knowledge is presented in this study. The utilisation of ontologies as metadata descriptions of the information sources is a possible approach to offering an integrated view of multiple elements libraries. A configuration meta-model is defined. The meta-concepts have explicit ontological semantics, so that they assist to identify domain concepts consistently and structure them systematically. As a result, configuration models have well-defined semantics due to the logic semantics of web ontology language (OWL), making it possible to automatically detect inconsistencies of configuration knowledge bases. Actual configuration processes are executed using jess, a rule engine for the Java platform, by mapping OWL-based configuration facts and semantic web rule language (SWRL)-based configuration criteria into jess facts and jess rules, respectively. Modelling ontologies of real automotive standard braking system is taken as an example task to show how to use the metaconcepts for configuring the troubleshooting information.

“…Yoshioka et al [19] focused on using physical ontology to explicitly represent physical phenomena in engineering activities. It can be seen that ontology modeling in the manufacturing domain has gathered an increasing attention with more and more applications, however, it is considered still in infant stages [20].…”

This paper presents a method of building a core product ontology to improve semantic interoperability when sharing knowledge among multiple domains in collaborative product development. The core product ontology represents a consensus understanding and is organized into three layers varying in level of abstraction: top-level concepts, generic concepts, and primitive terms. It is constructed by combining top-down and bottom-up strategies. The top-down strategy is used to build top-level concepts by reusing some existing valuable ontologies, while bottom-up strategy is used to build concepts in the other two layers by fully utilizing domain resources such as commercially systems and engineering documents.
