TL;DR

A simple data and knowledge organization that integrates ideas and constructs typically available in general-purpose semantic data models with other mechanisms specifically tailored to the target domain is illustrated.

Abstract

The application of advanced database concepts in the design of manufacturing work cells is discussed. After an overview of some applications of semantic and object-oriented data models in the manufacturing domain, issues relating to their use in the design of manufacturing work cells are presented. A simple data and knowledge organization that integrates ideas and constructs typically available in general-purpose semantic data models with other mechanisms specifically tailored to the target domain is then illustrated. Finally, the use of this knowledge organization within a functionality-driven, task-level design procedure is discussed and illustrated by means of an example.>
