As the networks (i.e., intranet and internet) proliferate all over the world, it is inevitable to move some (or all) of the enterprise activities into virtual spaces. Differently from business data, product data have complex semantics and thus are not properly exchanged among different application programs. Even though some neutral formats of product data have been developed by standard organizations, exchanging them among various application programs still needs the comprehensive understanding of the complex semantics. Recently, it is widely recognized that capturing more knowledge is the next step to overcome the current difficulties on sharing product data. In this paper, we utilize the ontology concept in order to facilitate information search far product data in the internet environment. A prototype of search system implemented using the ontology for automobile product data is presented.

As the networks (i.e., intranet and internet) proliferate all over the world, it is inevitable to move some (or all) of the enterprise activities into virtual spaces. Differently from business data, product data have complex semantics and thus are not properly exchanged among different application programs. Even though some neutral formats of product data have been developed by standard organizations, translating them among various application programs still needs the comprehensive understanding of the complex semantics. Recently, it is widely recognized that capturing more knowledge is the next step In overcome the current difficulties on sharing product data. In this paper, we present Web-based knowledge management that facilitates seamless sharing of product data among various application programs in virtual enterprises. Three types of knowledge are managed by the knowledge management system - metadata, ontology, and mapping. In this environment, we consider both business applications (e.g., ERP, SCM, and EDI System) and engineering applications (e.g., CAD and CAM system).

This paper introduces an approach to an ontology-based knowledge framework for product life cycle management (PLM). Participants in a product life cycle want to share comprehensive product knowledge without any ambiguity and heterogeneity. However, previous knowledge management approaches are limited in providing those aspects. Therefore, we suggest an ontology-based knowledge framework including knowledge maps, axioms and specific knowledge far domain. The bottom level, the axiom, specifies the semantics of concepts and relations of knowledge so that ambiguity of the semantics can be alleviated. The middle level is a product development knowledge map; it defines the concepts and the relations of the product domain common knowledge and guides engineers to process their engineering decisions. The middle level is then classified further into more detailed levels, such as generic product level, specific product level, product version level, and product item level for PLM. The top level is specialized knowledge fer a specific domain that gives the solution of a specific task or problem. It is classified into three knowledge types: expert knowledge, engineering function knowledge, and data-analysis-based knowledge. This proposed framework is based on ontology to accommodate a comprehensive range of unambiguous knowledge for PLM and is represented with first-order logic to maintain a uniform representation.

ㆍ STEP is an International Standard (ISO 10303) - that defines the methodology to create computer interpretable product data models. ㆍ STEP Implementation - allows exchange and sharing of product data while retaining semantics throughout the product life cycle. ' STEP is in deployment - PDM data exchange at Boeing and others - Geometry data exchange at GM and others ㆍ The STEP community overcomes obstacles - “They will never finish the standard” (done 1994) - “They will never be able to transfer solids” (done 1995) - “They will never make solids transfer reliable” (done 1997) - “They will never implement all those Application Protocols”(TBD)(omitted)

This paper proposes a multi-level product modeling framework for long-term lifecycle products. The framework can help engineers to define product models and relate them to physical instances. The framework is defined in three levels; data, design model, modeling language. The data level represents real-world products, The model level describes design models of real-world products. The modeling language level defines concepts and relationships to describe product design models. The concepts and relationships in the modeling language level enable engineers to express the semantics of product models in an engineering-friendly way. The interactions between these three levels are explained to show how the framework can manage long-term lifecycle product information. A prototype system is provided for further understanding of the framework.

전자 카탈로그는 시장 참여자들이 제공하는 상품과 서비스에 대한 정보를 가지고 있으며 결과적으로 전자 상거래의 근간을 형성하고 있다. 카탈로그의 관리는 여러 가지 요소에 의해 복잡해지는데, 상품 분류는 이들의 핵심 요소이다. 분류 계층 구조는 지출 분석, 관세 규제의 실행, 상품의 식별 등을 위해 활용된다. 이와 같이 상품 분류 체계는 상품 데이타베이스의 설계에 토대가 되고, 상품 정보의 활용 및 관리의 거의 모든 면에서 중심적 역할을 한다. 그러나, 데이타 모형, 연산, 의미론 등의 측면에서 상품 분류에 대한 형식적인 연구는 거의 없었다. 분류에 관한 논리적 모형의 부재는 분류에 대해서뿐만 아니라 일반적인 상품 데이타베이스에 대해서도 비일관성 및 비융통성 등 많은 문제를 야기시킨다. 상품 정보의 효율적이고 편리한 활용을 위해 각 사용자의 관점에 따른 다양한 뷰를 제공할 필요가 있다. 새로운 상품이 출현하고 기존 상품이 사라짐에 따라 분류체계도 이에 따라 일관성을 유지하면서 변경 및 진화해야 한다. 또한 이질적인 다른 분류체계와 매핑되거나 병합될 필요가 있으며, 이 때 정보의 손실을 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 이들 요구사항에 대해, 분류체계는 제한된 시간 및 비용 내에서 수용할 수 있도록 충분히 동적이어야 한다. 그러나, UNSPSC 및 eClass와 같이 현재 널리 사용중인 분류체계는 이러한 동적인 특성에 대한 요구사항을 만족시키지 못한다. 이 논문에서 우리는 상품 분류 체계의 의미를 이해하고, 기존의 분류 체계의 이면에 있는 의미를 포획하여 표현할 수 있는 방법으로 의미적 분류 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 상품 정의는 재료, 시간, 장소 등의 속성과 무결성 조건과 같은 많은 의미를 지니고 있다. 상품 데이타베이스의 동적 특성 및 이에 대한 기존코드 기반 분류 체계의 한계점을 분석하고, 제안된 의미적 분류 모형이 상품 데이타베이스의 동적 특성에 관한 요구사항을 만족시킨다는 것을 설명한다. 이 모형은 상품 클래스를 명시적이고 형식적으로 정의할 수 있는 수단을 제공하며, 상품 클래스간의 관계를 그래프로 구성한다. 이 모형은 분류 체계의 매핑을 용이하게 하며, 선행 연구에 의해 제기된 요구 사항 및 문제를 해결한다고 믿는다.

This paper introduces an approach to semantic mapping using Product ontology for CPC environment. In CPC environment, it is necessary that the participants in a product life cycle should share the same understanding about the semantic of product terms. For example, they should know that although 'COMPONENT' and 'ITEM' are different word-expressions, they could have the same meaning. In order to handle such terms in the information system, it is desirable that the system automatically recognizes that the terms have the same semantics. Serving this purpose, we described an ontology design methodology using first order logic, knowledge interchange format, and knowledge engineering process. In our approach, we investigated domain knowledge of the Bill Of Material, and then designed Product ontology of it. Based on the ontology, we described syntactic translation, semantic translation, and semantic mapping procedure with an example.

This paper introduces an approach to ontology-based framework for knowledge management in a product development domain. The participants in a product life cycle want to share the product knowledge without any heterogeneity. However, previous knowledge management systems do not have any conceptual specifications of their knowledge. We suggest the three levels of knowledge framework. First level is an axiom, which specifies the semantics of concepts and relations. Second level is a product development knowledge map. It defines the common domain knowledge which domain experts agree with. Third level is a specialized knowledge for domain, which includes three knowledge types; expert knowledge, engineering function and data-analysis-based knowledge. We propose an ontology-based knowledge framework based on the three levels of knowledge. The framework has a uniform representation; first order logic to increase integrity of the framework. We implement the framework using prolog and test example queries to show the effectiveness of the framework.
