Knowledge-based Engineering of Automation Systems using Ontologies and Engineering Data

摘要

Ontologies provide an effective way for describing and using knowledge of a specific domain. In engineering workflows the reusability and quick adoption of knowledge is needed for solving several tasks in efficient ways. Engineering data is mostly structured in hierarchical documents and exchange formats, but is not represented in ontologies. Therefore a connection between engineering data and the knowledge in ontologies is needed. In this article we present a bridge concept for connecting engineering data with an OWL-based ontology. For this we use an example ontology containing security knowledge of automation systems.
