Construction and Deployment of a Plant Ontology

Abstract

Abstract. Although the necessity of an ontology and ontological engineering is well-understood, there has been few success stories about ontology construction and its deployment to date. This paper presents an activity of ontology construction and its deployment in an interface system for an oil-refinery plant operation which has been done under the umbrella of Human-Media Project for four years. It also describes the reasons why we need an ontology, what ontology we built, what environment we used for building the ontology and how the ontology is used in the system. The interface has been developed intended to establish a sophisticated technology for advanced interface for plant operators and consists of several agents. The system has been implemented and preliminary evaluation has been done successfully.

Role Organization Model in Hozo

“…Then, we can identify taskspecific roles such as symptom role in a fault diagnostic task and conclusion role in a reasoning task. And, in a functional context in the artifact world, a steering wheel role (played by a wheel) and a level control valve role (played by flow control valve) are classified into a functional role [9]. Note here that we do not claim artifact is role.…”

Ontological Architecture for Management of Telemonitoring System and Alerts Detection

“…These concepts are independent of a problem or a particular area. Domain ontology [7], this ontology governs a set of vocabularies and concepts describing an application domain or the target world. It characterizes the knowledge of the area where the task is performed.…”

“…Task ontology [7], this type of ontology is used to conceptualize specific tasks in systems. It governs a set of vocabularies and concepts describing a structure of performing the tasks domain-independent.…”

Preserving car stylists’ design intent through an ontology

“…a means to model knowledge about a certain domain of interest mostly associated with a semantic network structure. Ontological engineering enables knowledge sharing/reuse and formulation of the problem solving process itself [6]. In the last years, different works have been proposed to integrate knowledge at different stages of design by means of ontologies, providing a semantic-based environment of design [7,8].…”
