Using a Context-based Inference Approach to Capture Design Intent from Legacy CAD
TLDR
The issues that arise when dealing with the capture, representation and retrieval of design intent from the legacy CAD data are addressed and a prototype system is implemented to address these issues from a software system point of view.Abstract:
There exist numerous design intent systems that convert captured information into structured design intent while providing intent representation and retrieval. These systems woefully neglect the design intent that is present in legacy CAD such as 2D drawings and 3D models. We address the issues that arise when dealing with the capture, representation and retrieval of design intent from the legacy CAD data. A definition for design intent in the CAD domain is presented which forms the basis of the proposed approach. The approach uses a unique context-based inference system to capture design intent from legacy CAD data. A brief explanation of context is provided along with the advantages of using context for this task. The need and use of an inference system is detailed. Additionally a prototype system is implemented to address these issues from a software system point of view.read more

Ontology-Driven Semantic Annotations for Multiple Engineering Viewpoints in Computer Aided Design
TL;DR: This research will argue that it is possible to take a generalised approach to annotation with formal annotation content structures and anchoring mechanisms described using general-purpose ontologies, and may readily be captured, represented and incorporated into PLM systems together with existing annotations in a common framework.

Context-mediated behavior for intelligent agents
TL;DR: In CMB, contexts are represented explicitly as contextual schemas, and an agent recognizes its context by finding the c-schemas that match it, then it merges these to form a coherent representation of the current context.

Issues of representing context illustrated by video-surveillance applications
Francois Bremond,Monique Thonnat +1 more
TL;DR: A definition of context is proposed through the description of the different types of information manipulated by a process and two main issues related to context are tackled: how context representation can be built and organized and how context contents can be re-used for other applications.
