Abstract

In collaborative environment, since each agent generally uses different words for the same meaning, there is an obstacle for information sharing. In collaborative product development environment, each agent has different words for representing same product information. As a result, it is hard to share product information in this situation. For solving this problem, semantic-based product information is needed. In this paper, a ontology-based semantic searching system which is able to interact with legacy PDM systems is proposed for product information sharing in collaborative environment Product ontology is represented with OWL format, and the product ontology is processed by Pellet reasoning engine for semantic searching. The system is implemented as a web service which can be integrated with other systems. This paper also introduces the approach with which a PDM system provides a function of semantic search with this search system.

협업 환경에서 각 에이전트는 같은 의미의 정보를 서로 다른 용어로 사용하기 때문에 정보공유의 어려움이 있다. 즉 협력 제품개발 환경에서 동일한 제품정보를 각 에이전트가 서로 다른 용어로 표현함으로써 제품정보 공유를 어렵게 만든다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 의미기반 정보를 활용한 제품정보 공유 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 의미기반 제품정보 공유를 위해 온톨로지 기반의 의미검색 시스템 및 기존의 PDM시스템과 연계하는 방법을 제안한다. 온톨로지는 OWL기반으로 구축하고, 구축된 온톨로지로부터 Pellet 추론 엔진을 이용하여 의미검색을 가능하게 하며, 이것을 웹서비스를 기반으로 구현하여 다른 시스템에서 활용이 가능토록 한다. 또한 기존의 PDM과 연계하여 PDM을 기반으로 의미검색을 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
