Semantic and Ontology Based methods for constructing Product Knowledge in OWL-S

Abstract

The General semantic and ontological ideas are taken from Analytical Philosophy where ability of constructing RDF-S and OWL-S has been evaluated and boundary of existing approaches of product knowledge has been presented. Semantic and ontology based methods for constructing Product Knowledge in OWL-S has been proposed because of flexibility and popularity of semantic languages. Semantic languages main objective is provided semantic interoperation, rigorous description of product and compatibility with STEP’s. In the Proposed approach two levels are mentioned. The First level of approach is constructing ontologies by obtaining semantic product knowledge from EXPRESS schema and at next level XML schema will be obtained from OWL-S documents. In this paper for obtaining the semantic of EXPRESS Schema, a description logic and formal procedure for semantic based product knowledge has been introduced.
