Research on method of ontology configuration oriented to individual demand products

Considering that the semantic difference in customer demand knowledge and product configuration knowledge caused the problem of poor configuration accuracy in mass customization, an ontology configuration method oriented to individual demand is proposed. The functional ontology model of customer demand and the function-structure-part level ontology model of product family are constructed; this paper uses the combination method of semantic similarity and semantic relevancy to map between ontology, multi-level match between the functional demands and the product family is realized; finally, an example of a reducer is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. Through the semantic mapping between ontology, the knowledge sharing of demand field and product family field are realized, configuration efficiency is increased, individual demand is satisfied quickly.
