Abstract:
Semantic approaches for knowledge representation and management as well as knowledge sharing, access and reuse can support Collaborative Adaptive Production Process Planning (CAPP) in a flexible, efficient and effective way. Therefore, semantic-technology based representations of such CAPP knowledge integrated into a machine readable process formalization is a key enabling factor for sharing such knowledge in cloud-based semantic-enabled knowledge repositories supporting CAPP scenarios as required in the CAPP-4-SMEs project. Beyond that, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as represented in CAPP-4-SMEs request for a standardized CAPP-oriented product-knowledge- and productionfeature representation. That can be achieved by applying socalled Function Block (FB) based knowledge representation models. Web-based and at the same time Cloud-based technologies, tool suites and application solutions which are based on process-oriented semantic knowledge-representation methodologies, such as Process-oriented Knowledge-based Innovation Management (German: Wissens-basiertes Prozess-orientiertes InnovationsManagement, WPIM) can satisfy these needs. In this way, WPIM can be applied to support the integration and management, as well as the access and re-use in a machine readable and integrated representation of distributed CAPP knowledge. On the other hand that knowledge is shared within a cloud-based centralized semantic-enabled knowledge repository. Furthermore, semantic knowledge representation and querying will add value to the knowledge-based and computeraided re-use of such machine-readable knowledge resources within CAPP activities. Finally, it will pave the way towards further automating planning, simulation and optimization in a semantic-web for CAPP.
