Communication, knowledge sharing and awareness of available expertise between
multi-discipline project teams are complex issues. Complexity increases substantially
in Extended Enterprises (EEs) / Virtual Enterprises (VEs) environments. The
concepts of a Manufacturing System Engineering (MSE) moderator have previously
been explored to facilitate and improve concurrent engineering design by enhancing
the degree of awareness, cooperation, and coordination among engineering team
members who are using shared information models and vocabularies. These concepts
are now extended and adapted to the realm of EEs /VEs where inevitably individual
partners will have their own terminology and information sources and may face
problems and misunderstanding when different terminologies are used by particular
team members.
This thesis is motivated by the achievement of ontology approaches to provide
common underlying standardized meta-models for semantic and syntactic
interoperability. [Continues.]
