A Semantic Modeling Method for Dynamic Knowledge Management and Reuse During Product Conceptual Design

[Objective] This study explores the semantic modeling technology for conceptual design process, aiming to effectively manage and reuse dynamic knowledge. [Methods] First, we analyzed the demands of semantic modeling from the perspectives of knowledge management and reuse. Then, we integrated the template and component technology to build semantic modeling technology system. Finally, we semantically modeled the design flow, which was integrated to the knowledge flow model. [Results] We proposed a two-layer modular encapsulation technology combining configurable flow template and knowledge component, which was used to construct the semantic modeling systems for the design and knowledge flow. [Limitations] We need to add case studies to our research. [Conclusions] The constructed semantic modeling system could effectively model the dynamic design knowledge in the conceptual design process.
