Sustainable Manufacturing: A Framework for Ontology Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Manufacturing

Abstract

Ontologies provide an explicit and formal model of a given knowledge domain, allow knowledge sharing and reuse and are widely used in different applicative contexts. Knowledge can be reused and effectively exchanged at product, process, and system levels. Current sustainable manufacturing practices justify the interest in an in-depth study of this complex process of building ontologies. Few researches address the issue of structuring and integrating the existing corpus of knowledge concerning sustainability in the manufacturing context using ontologies. In this paper a conceptual framework is provided to support ontology development by structuring sustainability knowledge in the manufacturing domain.
