“…Avoiding waste during all the life cycle phases of a product will contribute to greatly enhancing its performance from a twenty-first century perspective. As Otte et al point out with respect to manufacturing, the "ability to quickly access and share data is key to optimizing and streamlining any industrial production process" [7]. Following the apparently linear time axis in Fig.…”

“…Therefore, in the more general perception, such circular reasoning is, on the one hand, throwing light on connecting the end-oflife (EoL) and beginning-of-life (BoL) scenarios of products from the material-based technical, social, ecological and economic points of view comprising sustainable development. On the other hand, maintenance and repair, as essential user cases during the middle-of-life (MoL) life cycle phase [7], are gaining attention in light of product life cycle assessment (LCA) procedures. Pragmatically, this means that for any form of EoL recycling, material-related information on the BoL or MoL actions and their effects shall be seminal.…”

“…Material-related data that meet FAIR data principles and that are straightforwardly gathered during manufacturing or repair processes are pathbreaking in this sense. The interoperability of exchanged data facilitates knowledge management based on necessary ontologies like Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) [7] or the recently developed European Materials Modelling Ontology (EMMO) for applied sciences [9,10]. EMMO is integrated into virtual marketplaces like VIMMP [11,12] or MarketPlace [13] and allows end-users to represent their manufacturing process and innovation challenges in a standard ontological form.…”

In this chapter, we outline some perspectives on embracing the datasets gathered using Extended Non-destructive Testing (ENDT) during manufacturing or repair process steps within the life cycle of bonded products. Ensuring that the ENDT data and metadata are FAIR, i.e. findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, will support the relevant stakeholders in exploiting the contained material-related information far beyond a stop/go decision, while a shorter time-to-information will facilitate a prompter time-to-decision in process and product management. Exploiting the value of ENDT (meta)data will contribute to increased performance by integrating all defined, measured, analyzed and controlled aspects of material transformation across process and company boundaries. This will facilitate the optimization of manufacturing and repair operations, boosting their energy efficiency and productivity. In this regard, some aspects that are currently driving activities in the field of pre-process, in-process and post-process quality assessment will be addressed in the following. Furthermore, some requirements will be contemplated for harmonized and conjoint data transfer ranging from a bonded product’s beginning-of-life through its end-of-life, the customization of stand-alone or linked ENDT tools, and the implementation of sensor arrays and networks in joints, devices and structural parts to gather material-related data during a product’s middle-of-life application phase, thereby fostering structural health monitoring (SHM).

“…The Product Life Cycle Ontologies 3 are developed through the CHAMP project and funded by DMDII [32]. The Product Life Cycle Ontologies descend from BFO and CCO and are designed to assist in managing discordant manufacturing data sources that concern the whole life of a product in the market from design through manufacture, test, use, maintenance, and finally disposal for all phases.…”

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been used in many different kinds of applications in recent years and have attracted significant research attention. However, we do not yet have a commonly accepted way of representing the various aspects of FGMs. Lack of standardized vocabulary creates obstacles to the extraction of useful information relating to pertinent aspects of different applications. A standard resource is needed for describing various elements of FGMs, including existing applications, manufacturing techniques, and material characteristics. This motivated the creation of the FGM Ontology (FGMO) in 2016. Here, we present a revised and expanded version of the FGM Ontology, which includes enrichments along four dimensions: (1) documenting recent FGMs applications; (2) reorganizing the framework to incorporate an updated representation of types of manufacturing processes; (3) enriching the axioms of the ontology; and (4) importing midlevel ontologies from the Common Core Ontologies (CCO) and Product Life Cycle (PLC) Ontologies. The work is being carried out within the framework of the Industry Ontology Foundry (IOF), and the ontology is conformant to Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).

“…In addition, by relying on the BFO, the paper shows the willingness of the engineering community not only in using upper-level ontologies to facilitate ontology development or data/applications interoperability but also in analyzing domain knowledge with respect to formal ontology theories (e.g., theory of objects, qualities, processes, dependence, mereology, etc.). Otte et al (2019) present a suite of modular ontologies called the Product Life Cycle (PLC) ontologies for data system interoperability in the manufacturing industry. The ontology relies on both the BFO and the suite of mid-level ontologies called the Common Core Ontology (CCO).…”
