Abstract
We present a method for matching the required capabilities of general recipes with available resources to formulate master recipes. Process elements extracted from BatchML XML files are used to decompose the required capabilities and match them with the capabilities offered by components at distinct levels. A capability OWL ontology with properties aids in querying and matching capabilities with resources, enabling validation via description logic (DL) queries post-inference and integration into the master recipe. DL queries and matching within a knowledge base demonstrate AI-based knowledge processing for production systems.
Zusammenfassung
In diesem Beitrag werden geforderte Fähigkeiten aus Verfahrensrezepten mit verfügbaren Ressourcen für die Formulierung von Grundrezepten abgeglichen. Extrahierte Prozesselemente aus BatchML XML Dateien werden verwendet, um die geforderten Fähigkeiten zu zerlegen und sie mit den von Komponenten auf verschiedenen Ebenen angebotenen Fähigkeiten abzugleichen. Eine OWL Ontologie für Fähigkeiten mit Eigenschaften erlaubt die Abfrage und den Abgleich von Fähigkeiten mit Ressourcen und ermöglicht die Validierung über Description Logic (DL) Abfragen nach der Inferenz sowie die Integration in Grundrezepte. DL Abfragen und Matching innerhalb einer Wissensbasis demonstrieren KI-basierte Wissensverarbeitung für Produktionssysteme.
