Abstract

A great difficulty regarding the management of information systems is the fact that much of the knowledge available within organisations can only be found in a non-structured form. Consequently, one of the major problems faced by industry is the low degree of interoperability (capacity that a system presents of sharing and interchanging information and applications). This problem is even more serious when considering an entire product lifecycle, where several pieces of software are involved in allowing the organisation of product lifecycle management (PLM). One of the most promising approaches in addressing these issues is the structuring of formal ontologies. This article presents an ontology proposal for facilitating knowledge and information sharing, with the ultimate aim to ensure a transparent interoperability between systems used for the interchange of information throughout an entire product lifecycle.
