Development of a method for ontology-driven knowledge engineering and its application to the greywater reclamation system

该研究计划的目标是研究如何利用本体来支持语义Web应用的开发，并开发一种本体驱动的知识工程的新方法。该方法将为知识和软件工程师开发基于网络的知识系统提供指导。作为案例，该方法将被应用于水再生系统智能监控系统的开发中。拟议的研究方案将加强对本体的使用如何有效地支持基于网络的知识系统的开发的理解。所开发的方法和系统将有助于建立必要的信息技术基础设施，以支持能源和环境部门工业过程系统的自动化，这对提高加拿大工业的生产率很重要。

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.
