Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of modeling product configuration knowledge at the semantic level to successfully implement the mass customization strategy, an approach of ontology-based configuration knowledge modeling, combining semantic web technologies, was proposed.A general configuration ontology was developed to provide a common concept structure for modeling configuration knowledge and rules of specific product domains.The OWL web ontology language and semantic web rule language(SWRL)were used to formally represent the configuration ontology, domain configuration knowledge and rules to enhance the consistency, maintainability and reusability of all the configuration knowledge.The configuration knowledge modeling of a customizable personal computer family shows that the approach can provide explicit, computer-understandable knowledge semantics for specific product configuration domains and can efficiently support automatic configuration tasks of complex products.
