Abstract :
Scientific effects, which are knowledge of scientific principles, can be used to transform inputs to outputs and achieve corresponding functions. How to manage and make full use of them to support the conceptual design is an important task. Many papers focused on the expression and retrieval of function ontology, few related to the reasoning rules on the function expansion with attributes of function and flow. This paper proposed a rule-based ontology reasoning for scientific effects retrieval with expanding 5 groups reasoning rules based on Jena reasoning engine. A proto type software is developed. The experiment results demonstrated that the rule-based ontology reasoning can greatly widen the solution space and increase opportunities for product innovation.
