Metamodels Approach Supporting Models for Manufacturing (MfM) Methodology
Résumé
Models for Manufacturing (MfM) is a novel approach proposed by the authors to apply Ontology-Based Engineering (OBE) concepts to Manufacturing. The methodology is based in a 3-Layers Model (3LM) framework and supported by any modelling tools easy-to-use. The Ontology layer comprises the ontological definition holding the knowledge of the domain. This work presents the introduction of metamodels or surrogate models for supporting MfM methodology with the objective to maintain independence with commercial software tools. This paper introduces the proposed metamodels and relationships, shows the link within the MfM Ontology layer and discusses the further activities.
