Ontological modelling of welding processes
L Solano · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering · 2021
Abstract In this work, an ontological model for welding processes is proposed and the need to manage the information and knowledge associated with such complex discipline is justified. First, an overview of the meaning and use of the models for this purpose and the concept of interoperability applied to the information contained in the welding standards is given. Next, an approach to the concept of ontology is made, the ontology applications for engineering, basic functionalities of ontologies and the way in which they are implemented. The work concludes showing some entities of the proposed ontology, focusing on the definition and classification of welding processes and knowledge inference based on the information contained in the ontology.
