Design Ontology Based on Geometry APIs and Its Application

Abstract

Design ontology is playing important roles in collaborative and knowledge-intensive design. The ontology based on geometry APIs and surface-behaviors was proposed to build the semantic connection among functions, behaviors and structures, which further refine product design FBS models. The lightweight network transmission and the rapid product design can be finished by the design ontology. The cases proved that the representation of design knowledge based on geometry API ontology can be easier to share and access.
