Abstract:
It is one of the most efficient ways to develop and extend ontology database
by acquiring field concepts and knowledge contained in the existing and
available data resource. A semi-automatic reverse engineering approach is
proposed to construct part resource ontology based on heterogeneous CAD
(Computer-Aided Design) model documents. Due to offer reference to
automatically acquire part resource library details, the information
exchange mechanism is described between part resource library and CAD
system, and then the part resource ontology extraction frame and semantic
model construction process are illustrated based on reverse engineering.
Additionally, the part resource ontology storage model based on relational
database (RDB) is proposed to fulfill efficient storage and management to
OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontology. Finally, the feasibility of this
approach is verified by an example for part resource ontology construction
and instance extension.
Keywords: Part resource, ontology construction, CAD model document, reverse engineering, semantic model extraction, ontology storage
