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.
