Intelligent Systems Configuration Services for Flexible Dynamic Global Production Networks (FLEXINET) project no. 608627 is funded under the

Seventh Framework Programme FP7-2013-NMP-ICT-FOF (RTD)

Standardised semantic models to support the configuration of global

production networks

FLEXINET Project - Introduction

Reference Ontology for Global Production

Networks

Summary and Future Work

2 of 19


3 of 19

To understand how best to configure and re-

configure a global production network, in

the context of ever changing product-service

requirements.

To provide services that support the design

and provision of flexible interoperable

networks of production systems that can

rapidly and accurately be re-configured.

A Reference Ontology for Global Production Networks


Why bother with formal ontologies?

Capture Knowledge about your “world” of interest • knowledge harmonisation • clearly defined vocabularies • computer interpretable -> consistency checks • use KB to answer questions

9 of 19

Building a new ontology for every problem domain is expensive and negates any real potential for consistency and therefore any real

capability for knowledge harmonisation.

Enterprise ontologies must be built from a common base

for ease of construction, effective interoperability and

flexible re-use

Note: All ontologies in FLEXINET are modelled in the “Common Logic” based “Knowledge Frame Language” and ECLIF from Highfleet inc. Initial concepts and relationships are illustrated graphically in UML

Focus for ISO 20534 a new standard: Formal Semantic Models for the Configuration of

Global Production Networks (SP-NET)


A Reference Ontology for Global Production Networks

FLEXINET is concerned with modelling the elements of global

production network systems

FLEXINET will use these models to support ‘what-if” queries on the

configuration of these elements into global production systems

Approach to Standardisation

New Work Item submitted to ISO

ISO20534:2015

17 of 19


Summary

GPN reference ontology has been developed using end

user needs and requirements.

All levels are being actively developed.

NWI 20534:2015 has been submitted to ISO for

development and ratification.

Test approach and validate it against the end user

requirements using industrial use cases.
