“…Ultimately, other authors proposed semantic approaches, such as the assembly relation model (ARM), in which the assembly feature comprised the mating features, spatial relationships, mating bonds, join features, and other component properties, later complemented with a semantic model (Kim et al 2004(Kim et al , 2006; the four-level assembly featurebased ontology proposed by Hasan et al which aimed to link the product characteristics to the resource's skills (Hasan et al 2014a(Hasan et al , b, 2016aWikander 2016, 2017a, b;; or the ontology for dynamic assembly planning and task assignment for human-robot collaboration (Sipsas et al 2021).…”

“…2. Hasan's ontology (Hasan et al 2014a(Hasan et al , 2016ab, b;Wikander 2016, 2017a, b;: the approach presents a three-layered ontology for assembly processes, including geometrical and non-geometrical information. This ontology was supported by the development of feature extraction and recognition algorithms using Solidworks API, a taxonomy of assembly skills, a classification of assembly features, and a case study aiming to identify surfaces of interest and relate them to the characteristics of the required assembly resource (robotic gripper).…”

Product development requires sharing information of a diverse nature between several actors. Since the new products resulting from this process often require assembly as part of their manufacturing processes, it becomes necessary to promote a functional information representation for the assembly domain. Several authors have proposed different core concepts to represent the information related to assembly. However, the resulting body of knowledge is fragmented and lacks a unified concept and definition of the information this concept should contain to be broadly adopted by the academy and industry. This study aims to identify and characterize the core concepts used to enclose the assembly information (e.g., assembly features, ports, connectors, and others) by conducting a literature review in the domain of discrete manufacturing, considering the period between 1985 and 2022. It was found that the literature is rich in concepts but often diverging: a clear depiction of the assembly information required by the involved stakeholders during the whole product development process remains elusive. This work's contribution addresses this gap by identifying the perspectives from which the assembly information can be studied, and the information required to describe the assembly process fully. The resulting information requirements were used to assess the existing approaches addressing assembly information representation. These findings can be used as a base to establish a comprehensive assembly information representation in the future.
