Domain dependant matching of MES knowledge and domain independent mapping of AutomationML models

Knowledge is one of the most valuable goods within production planning. It can be divided into domain dependant knowledge and domain independent knowledge. An example for domain dependant knowledge is Manufacturing Execution System (MES) specific knowledge. An example for domain independent knowledge is the XML-based data exchange format AutomationML. Both types of knowledge are necessary. This contribution shows the application of ontology mapping and matching methods in the context of domain dependant and domain independent knowledge to support the engineer in working with the data and improve the usage of such information processing.
