“…Fortineau et al [8] have explained why ontologies are relevant to solving interoperability problems. In fact, they have explained that the expected benefits from using inference models can be classified into three categories that refer to different capabilities offered by inference ontologies: These capabilities explain the considerable number of papers dealing with the industrial applications of ontologies for the resolution of interoperability problems [15].…”

Virtual enterprise integration and interoperability between its different information systems are the first systemic paradigms to achieve a successful collaborative product development. In such a context, the information flow has a centric place. Therefore, our aim in this paper is to propose a new ontology-based framework, exploiting the expressiveness of ontologies to ensure collaboration and semantic interoperability between partners and using, at the same time, ontologies inference capacities to support the decision making processes. An industrial application will be developed in the context of the simultaneous design of products and their optimized supply chains.

“…Thus, it comes as no surprise that the application of OWL ontologies in the representation of product information (including tolerance information) is gaining importance and popularity within the academia [81][82][83][84][85]. However, the OWL ontology-based model is probably not an efficient representation model for tolerance information as a whole, because OWL ontology has drawbacks in the aspects of degree of automation, time complexity, additional work, and negation in the model [80].…”

A good representation model of tolerance information is indispensable for achieving computer-aided tolerancing. Currently, the representation model used in industry is the EXPRESS model, while at the same time, a number of other kinds of representation models have been presented within the academia. The coexistence of different kinds of representation models generates a series of questions and discussions: can the EXPRESS model completely implement the representation of tolerance information semantics in an explicit, computer-readable, and computer-interpretable way? What challenges have been addressed to date by the presented representation models? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each representation model? What capabilities should an ideal representation model have? What are the potential research directions in tolerance information representation in the future? To approach these questions, a review of representation models of tolerance information is presented in this paper. An in-depth analysis of existing representation models is firstly provided. Then, the review makes a detailed comparison among them based on this analysis. Finally, some future research directions in tolerance information representation are suggested.

“…The developed ontology promotes knowledge reuse and systematic capture of design knowledge and helps the integration of the heterogeneous data sources (Chang, Sahin, & Terpenny, 2008). The use of ontologies for knowledge management in engineering industry is increasing as evidenced by (El Kadiri & Kiritsis, 2015;Rao, Mansingh, & Osei-Bryson, 2012;Zhen, Wang, & Li, 2013).…”

Knowledge and information resources play a pivotal role in enterprises and are valuable for solution reuse and learning through information access. However, identifying relevant information from a rapidly growing number of unstructured resources is challenging for users. We discuss a personalized information access tool for professional workplaces based on the recommender systems to provide relevant documents for users in specific work contexts based on domain-specific ontologies. Our use case is a multidisciplinary engineering project building an energy-efficient vehicle. We provide an indepth analysis of document corpus characteristics of this real-life shared engineering workspace to understand the content and context of documents using information retrieval methods and semantic annotations. Upon this, we build a contextual ontology as our knowledge domain for the recommender system. We validate our ontology-based content matching approach by evaluating the level of retrievability and coverage of the ontology against the indexed document corpus through experiments on the corpus and ontology. Our results provide insight into engineers' document workspaces and show that even a simple domain ontology is able to match a majority of documents from a domain-oriented corpus. The findings support our approach of using ontology-based recommendation for domain-specific workspaces.
