“…A way to add semantics to Web Services is their annotation with ontological models, that provides a semantic description of the production system and can be exposed as services on a Web-Service based SOA control architecture [17]. According to the definition by Gruber, an ontology is an "explicit specification of a conceptualization", where a conceptualization is an abstract, simplified view of the world that we need to represent for some specific purposes [18].…”

“…Considering the service domain, ManuHub (Cai et al, 2011) is a prototype Semantic Web system which enables the use of manufacturing services within distributed manufacturing environments. ManuHub achieves manufacturing interoperability by facilitating automatic retrieval of the required manufacturing services which are derived through a feature-based semantic matchmaking process.…”

“…Moreover ontologies, when properly implemented in appropriate languages, allow also including such knowledge into software and automatic systems. For what concerns the integration between ontologies and the communication infrastructure of CPS, [19] and [20] are some of the firsts who tried to establish this relationship. Indeed, [19] developed a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of interoperability between manufacturing services.…”

“…For what concerns the integration between ontologies and the communication infrastructure of CPS, [19] and [20] are some of the firsts who tried to establish this relationship. Indeed, [19] developed a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of interoperability between manufacturing services. Cai's approach was demonstrated using the ontology of a limited manufacturing domain, but it was clear that a larger and more complete ontology could further improve this approach.…”

Accepted: 9 January 2015Cyber Physical Systems are an evolution of embedded systems featuring a tight combination of collaborating computational elements that control physical entities. CPSs promise a great potential of innovation in many areas including manufacturing and production. This is because we obtain a very powerful, flexible, modular infrastructure allowing easy (re) configurability and fast ramp-up of manufacturing applications by building a manufacturing system with modular mechatronic components (for machining, transportation and storage) and embedded intelligence, by integrating them into a system, through a network connection. However, when building such kind of architectures, the way to supply the needed domain knowledge to real manufacturing applications arises as a problem to solve. In fact, a CPS based architecture for manufacturing is made of smart but independent manufacturing components without any knowledge of the role they have to play together in the real world of manufacturing applications. Ontologies can supply such kind of knowledge, playing a very important role in CPS for manufacturing. The paper deals with this intriguing theme, also presenting an implementation of this approach in a research project for the open automation of manufacturing systems, in which the power of CPS is complemented by the support of an ontology of the manufacturing domain.
