ONTOLOGIES IN MANUFACTURING

DOI: 10.46793/ICPES25.009SG
This paper presents an application of ontologies in the manufacturing field, specifically in collaborative process planning. To this end, it first examines the concept of ontology through its definition, purpose, and classification. After it presents the tools used to implement the developed ontologies and the upper ontologies used for their development. Finally, a brief description of these ontologies is provided: PPDRC ontology (ontology for collaborative Development of Products and Processes focused on Resource Capabilities) and MIRC ontology (ontology for integrated Machining and Inspection process planning focusing on Resource Capabilities).
Ontologies, manufacturing, collaborative process planning, PPDRC ontology, MIRC ontology, resource capabilities.
