Using FMEA models and ontologies to build diagnostic models

摘要

Product design and diagnosis are, today, worlds apart. Despite strong areas of overlap at the ontological level, tradi- tional design process theory and practice does not recognize diagnosis as a part of the modeling process chain; neither do diagnosis knowledge engineering processes reference design modeling tasks as a source of knowledge acquisition. This paper presents the DAEDALUS knowledge engineering framework as a methodology for integrating design and Diagnosis tasks, models, and modeling environments around a common Domain Ontology and Product Models Library.
