An Ontology-based Model for providing Semantic Maintenance

Maintenance is becoming more and more crucial in Asset Lifecycle Management information models. Issues such as collecting, handling and using the data of the asset produced during the asset's lifecycle in a lean and efficient manner are on top of today's research. In this work we combine the benefits of two previous developed models and we develop a model for Semantic Maintenance. The first model we are based on is the PROMISE semantic object model which was made for supporting Closed-Loop Product Lifecycle Management. The second model is the semantic model of e-maintenance developed in PROTEUS project. The new model described in this paper is named “SMAC-Model”. Its aim is to provide advanced maintenance services as well as feedback for the Beginning of Life and input for End of Life. The model is generic and may be used in various Asset Lifecycle Management cases. It is developed to facilitate complex physical assets and to work in industrial environment.
