The objective of the proposed research program is to study use of ontology for supporting the development of semantic web applications and to develop a novel method for ontology-driven knowledge engineering. The method will provide guidance for knowledge and software engineers in developing web-based knowledge-based systems. As a case study, the method will be applied to the development of an intelligent monitoring system for the water reclamation system. The proposed research program will enhance understanding of how the use of an ontology can be effective for supporting development of a web-based knowledge-based system. The methods and systems developed would contribute to building information technology infrastructure necessary for supporting automation of industrial process systems in the energy and environment sectors, which is important for enhancing productivity of the Canadian industries.
