A Methodology of Knowledge Management Based on Ontology in Collaborative Design

To have shorter development times and reduced costs, enterprise need a method towards global market for product design. Collaborative design is a method to meet the requirement. In collaborative design, knowledge is exchanged and accessed efficiently through the teams. How to reuse the knowledge of experts is a problem. A methodology for knowledge management in collaborative design is proposed. Firstly, the concepts of the collaborative design and knowledge management are introduced. Secondly, the knowledge expression based on ontology is introduced. UML model for knowledge capture is established to find suitable knowledge. The knowledge capture formalization is established for the knowledge reuse. At last, the integration framework of knowledge requirement and knowledge reuse is constructed with a component, which includes the knowledge capture, knowledge requirement and knowledge reuse. The knowledge can be reused for collaborative design.
