Towards smart measurement plan using category ontology modelling

In this paper a schema that generate smart measurement plans from the designed specifications is proposed. The knowledge modelling of the proposed schema is based on a new knowledge representation language, named category ontology language (COL) (authors’ ongoing work). In the proposed method, the semantics of a designed specification was modelled into a category S. Then a faithful functor was constructed from the category S to generate a measurement category M, using GPS concepts and philosophy as the framework. A test case of an areal surface texture specification was used to validate the proposed method. It can demonstrate that the schema has the required adaptivity and as such when the design specification is revised or updated, the corresponding measurement plan will be reasoned simultaneously.
