XML과 온톨로지를 이용한 공학 설계 데이터의 상호운용성 증진에 관한 연구

Abstract

As the complexity o f engineering design environment has increased, it is difficult to exchange design data among design support systems. The purpose o f this paper is to develop the XML-based Generalized Mechanical Data Exchange Formats (GMDEF) independent o f specific mechanical element and improve the interoperability o f them using ontology, in order to integrate diverse design data and facilitate communication between design support systems. GMDEF consists o f PartDoc and AssemblyDoc. PartDoc represents the information o f a single part. AssemblyDoc represents the relation o f parts constituting an assembly. GMDEF is validated by GMDEF Schema. GMDEF Schema consists o f separated XML Schemas and has flexible architecture to facilitate extension. We apply ontology to GMDEF Schema to share and reuse vocabularies o f specific mechanical elements.
