The lifecycle of a product is managed not only through the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), but needs to integrate with product services into a Product Service System (PSS). The related activities are performed throughout the entire lifecycle and require sharing information among tools of the different product lifecycle phases. When extending collaboration of PLM with services as integrated within...
A foundational ontology contributes to ontology-driven conceptual data modelling and is used to solve interoperability issues among domain ontologies. Multiple foundational ontologies have been developed in recent years, and most of them are available in several versions. This has re-introduced the interoperability problem, increased the need for a coordinated and structured comparison and elucidation...
To reuse ontologies of different types, ontology mediation is required to reconcile mismatches between heterogeneous ontologies. Ontology integration is one of the major kind of ontology mediations in which an ontology is selected to integrate either directly into an ontology development process if no other suitable ontology is available or into an ontology development process with other chosen ontology(ies)...
Interoperability between heterogeneous ontological descriptions can be performed through ontology mediation techniques. At the heart of ontology mediation lies the alignment: a specification of correspondences between ontology entities. Ontology matching can bring some automation but are limited to finding simple correspondences. Design patterns have proven themselves useful to capture experience...
This paper describes essential service and ontology design considerations for a multi-agent system. We will establish a context of basic information sharing and discovery for a combat search and rescue vignette. FIPA protocols and the OWL-S Task Model will be presented along with the associated work flow processes for our range of service options. A Protege-based ontology will convey our semantic...
We propose an ontology-based mediation approach which enables an e-learning system to query several heterogeneous LO (learning object) repositories. After analysing and representing the knowledge representation and the metadata structure of a repository it is easy to use the repository as a service by specifying a wrapper which calls the retrieval facilities of the new repository. This technique was...
