Functional Modeling of Engineering Designs for the Semantic Web.
Joseph B. Kopena, William Clement Regli · 2003
A goal of this paper is to briefly describe work on a novel application of the Semantic Web to design repositories---collections of diverse engineering knowledge with sophisticated reasoning services. However, a more general goal of this paper is to demonstrate the extra utility enabled in database-styled applications by the incorporation of even simple semantics. It also discusses the development of practical, useful representations and applications for the Semantic Web.
