Content Pattern Application in Optical Microelectromechanical Systems Ontology Development Process

Abstract

The article considers a method for improving the efficiency of ontological modeling in the development and production of optical microelectromechanical systems based on the development of an ontology content pattern. The pattern allows for a clear representation of the logical web between the elements that make up a product and their characteristics; products that can be manufactured using specific processes and materials; and the processes and materials required to produce multiple products. The pattern also provides a query system that allows for the determination of the necessary set of operations and materials to produce specific products. Using the example of an optical switch, the procedure for applying the content pattern is shown, starting with the design and technological analysis of the product, including the description of the product's structural elements, their materials, and their web with technological processes. The generated ontology in the Protege editor contains information about 20 types of microsystems, highlighting the logical web between the optical switch of microelectromechanical systems and the individuals of the main pattern classes. This method enhances the efficiency of knowledge management in a digital environment and opens up opportunities for further applications of ontological modeling. The presented model provides for the expansion of its structure and the increase in the degree of detail in describing its elements
