Abstract

As to how to acquire potentially useful knowledge to aid engineers in problem solving, this paper proposed a platform of problem solving by using the knowledge grid. This paper is mainly concerned with the implementation of problem-solving-oriented knowledge acquisition in the knowledge grid, which is a platform for sharing and managing globally distributed knowledge resources. Based on the knowledge grid, engineers could acquire the knowledge that will be potentially useful and give them some hints or inspiration for problem solving. Some key technologies for the platform’s implementation, such as ontology building for product development, semantic register, semantic parser, and query dispatch, are investigated. At last, a working scenario is employed to illustrate the knowledge acquisition process for problem solving in the product development process.
