Konzept eines wissensbasierten Frameworks zur Spezifikation und Diagnose von Inkonsistenzen in mechatronischen Modellen: Ein erster Schritt mittels Semantic Web Technologien

Inconsistencies that occur during mechatronic systems engineering can be expensive - especially when identified too late. The challenge to specify and diagnose inconsistencies in the manifold models of themechatronic system under study thereinmainly results fromthe heterogeneity of the different disciplines. As a consequence, this article analyses the requirements on the specification and diagnosis of inconsistencies from a research perspective and proposes a concept for a knowledge-based framework. Therein, Semantic Web Technologies are being used, as their flexibility and extensibility is especially useful for heterogeneous models. By means of a use case, the findings are illustrated from a practical perspective and the strengths and limitations of such an approach are discussed.
