作者参与功能的本体建模已经超过15年。作为Vermaas的立场文件中讨论的修正方法的一个实例，我们提出了一个本体的功能定义和建模框架的基础上，这已部署在工业。此外，作为总体方法的一个实例，我们提出了一个函数的参考本体，解释了函数的一些种类，定义和实际表达。在本文中，我们解释了我们的方法在一个总体的方法的基础上的角度捕捉功能。当一个人捕获一个工件的功能时，他从一个特定的角度关注工件的一个特定方面。在本文中，我们概念化这些观点背后的参考本体。此外，根据我们在工业环境中部署的经验，我们报告了一些解决方案，如本体建模指南，克服了埃克特的立场文件中所描述的实用功能建模方法所面临的一些困难。我们的研究结果表明，这样的解决方案将有助于工程师描述一致的功能模型符合一个单一的功能定义。
The authors have been involved in ontological modeling of function for over 15 years. As an instance of the revisionary approach discussed in Vermaas's position paper, we have proposed an ontological definition of function and a modeling framework based on it, which has been deployed in industry. In addition, as an instance of the overarching approach, we have proposed a reference ontology of function that explains some kinds, definitions, and practical expressions of functions. In this paper, we explain our methodology in an overarching approach based on perspectives for capturing functions. When one captures a function of an artifact, one focuses on a specific aspect of the artifact from a specific perspective. In this paper, we conceptualize such perspectives behind the reference ontology. In addition, based on our experiences in deployment in an industrial setting, we report some solutions, such as ontological modeling guidelines, for overcoming some of the difficulties faced in the practical functional modeling approach described in Eckert's position paper. Our findings suggest that such solutions will help engineers to describe consistent functional models compliant with a single definition of function.
