Ontology Modeling of Aircraft Fault Knowledge
With consideration of the actual requirement of fault knowledge management in current aviation maintenance, ontology-based knowledge representation method of aircraft fault is studied. Knowledge sources of aircraft fault ontology are analyzed based on ontology modeling primitives. Ontology construction method of aircraft fault knowledge is proposed learning from software engineering and the essence of the existing ontology construction methodology. On the basis of the above study, aircraft fault ontology which is consist of Fault Core sub-ontology, Product domain sub-ontology, Case domain sub-ontology, and Diagnosis domain sub-ontology is build, and it represents aircraft fault knowledge completely and consistently, and also lays the foundation for knowledge management of aircraft fault.
