Semantic hyper-graph-based knowledge representation architecture for complex product development

Abstract More and more manufacturing companies are facing challenges in knowledge refining and reusing in stage of product development. To resolve this problem and make the knowledge convenient for acquisition, machine-understandable and human-understandable, this paper proposes a framework of semantic hyper-graph-based knowledge representation to support the knowledge sharing for the product development. A case study of car headlamp development is given to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results bring out that it can help engineers to rapidly and accurately acquire knowledge. In future research, the knowledge recommendation service based on product development process should be considered.
