Item Open Access A Study on Process Description Method for DFM Using Ontology(Cranfield University Press, 2009-03-31) Hiekata, K.; Yamato, H.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam ShehabA method to describe process and knowledge based on RDF which is an ontology description language and IDEF0 which is a formal process description format is proposed. Once knowledge of experienced engineers is embedded into the system the knowledge will be lost in the future. A production process is described in a proposed format similar to BOM and the process can be retrieved as a flow diagram to make the engineers to understand the product and process. Proposed method is applied to a simple production process of common sub-assembly of ships for evaluation.
