“…Soininen et al (1998) proposed a general ontology of configuration, which integrated the concepts port, function, constraint, attribute, and so on. A configuration ontology was developed (Altuna et al 2004) in the OBesogenic Endocrine disrupting chemicals: LInking prenatal eXposure to the development of obesity later in life (OBELIX) project to support collaborative configuration of products and services. For ontology codification, there are two mainstream approaches for formalisation of ontologies (Kalinichenko et al 2003) -one is based on first-order logics (such as Ontolingua) and another is to employ a description-logic approach (e.g.…”

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.

Product configuration system, being a knowledge intensive system, plays an important role in order to realize Mass Customization. The Platformbased generic product configuration tool(PB-GPCT) being developed by Institute of Design for Innovation, Hebei University of Technology. PB-GPCT is a structure-based and domain independent configuration tool. For the realization of PB-GPCT, UML is chosen to construct the configuration model and OCL(Object Constraint Language) to express constraints. In order to manage the constraints of product easily, the approach of checking consistency of configuration model is presented. The theory of constraints hierarchies is introduced into the system of PB-GPCT in order to express customer requirements of different levels.

The lack of a good understanding of customer needs within eservice initiatives caused severe financial losses in the Norwegian energy sector, resulting in the failure of e-service initiatives offering packages of independent services. One of the causes was a poor elicitation and understanding of the e-services at hand. In this paper, we propose an ontologically founded approach (1) to describe customer needs, and the necessary e-services that satisfy such needs, and (2) to bundle elementary e-services into needs-satisfying e-service bundles. The ontology as well as the associated reasoning mechanisms are codified in RDFS to enable software support for need elicitation and service bundling. A case study from the Norwegian energy sector is used to demonstrate how we put our theory into practice. This work has been partially supported by the European Commission, as project No. IST-2001-33144 OBELIX (Ontology-Based ELectronic Integration of compleX products and value chains) and by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, as the FrUX project (Freeband User eXperience).
