Engineering ontologies
The engineering ontologies are a set of small and reusable ontologies for representing engineering artifacts.
- The Components ontology – defines the part-whole relationship and is used to represent the decomposition structure of systems
- The Connections ontology – defines the topology of a system and describes how components of a system are connected to each other
- The Requirements ontology – used for representing requirements and their various relationships, as well as the relationships between requirements and systems
- The Constraints ontology – used for defining constraints on different model elements, for instance, constraints on model parameters expressed as mathematical relationships
The ontologies are described in this document in Chapter 4. Use cases for the ontologies are described in Chapter 6.
The engineering ontologies have been developed using the Protege frames formalism. Protege can be downloaded from the Protege website.
Download: EngineeringOntologies.zip - The archive contains a small example project (EngineTransmission_3.pprj) that uses the engineering ontologies.
