Innovative Design Service Platform of Agile Virtual Enterprise Supported by Semantic Web Services

With the development of Agile Virtual Enterprise (AVE) in the context of globalization manufacturing, Innovative design is the key problem of product in the current changing world, which is seen as the core competitiveness of AVE. However, non-structured and semi-structured knowledge on the current Internet can not meet the demands of complexity, flexibility and Real-time for innovation design. Until the emergence of the semantic web, it is possible for innovative design based on semantics web services. We give a new knowledge management methodology based on semantics web services to support innovative design. This method gives ontology for innovative design which including design, process, skill, application domain and organization sub ontology. Then we proposes the innovative design method (SEM-PDM) based on semantic web services by combining knowledge engineering, and select the domain of environmental protection device manufacturing as the application field. In the end, an environmental protection device manufacturing ontology architecture is give and a case study is shown.
